SS304 Braided Hose with EPDM Inner Tube, 1/2 Inch BSP Female-Female, 1.5 m

An SS304 braided flexible hose with an EPDM inner tube is a two-layer flexible connector built for potable water service. The outer layer is a woven SS304 (304-grade stainless steel) wire braid that resists kinking, vibration fatigue, and mechanical damage in exposed piping runs. The inner layer, the part that actually contacts the water, is EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber, chosen because it is rated for potable water contact and resists the chlorine exposure and temperature swings common in PH municipal and deep-well supply. This assembly connects to the piping system through 1/2 inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads, with female fittings on both ends. No separate nipple is needed at either connection point: it threads directly onto a male-threaded fitting, valve outlet, or equipment port on each side. Overall length for this configuration is 1.5 m. JOHOB Hardware Trading supplies this assembly made-to-order rather than off a public price list, because braid density, fitting orientation (female-female, female-male, or male-male), and end-fitting material can all vary by job. Orders route through the same nationwide delivery and VAT terms that apply across JOHOB's piping and accessories catalog, with response to RFQs within 1 business day.

Two inner-tube materials come up for SS304-braided hose in PH facilities: EPDM and SS304 corrugated (an all-metal bellows core instead of a rubber liner). For potable water specifically, EPDM is the more common choice because it is a flexible elastomer rated for direct water contact, and it is less expensive to fabricate at short lengths like 1.5 m than a fully corrugated stainless core. SS304 corrugated inner tubes are typically specified instead when the line carries steam, high-temperature condensate, or media beyond EPDM's temperature and chemical resistance range, or where the application needs a fully metallic wetted path for contamination-sensitive processes. For a straightforward potable water tie-in at 1/2 inch BSP, female to female, 1.5 m, EPDM is the standard spec and the one JOHOB fabricates by default unless a buyer specifies the corrugated alternative. Buyers should confirm which inner tube their RFQ needs before requesting a quote, since price, lead time, and the applicable certification paperwork differ between the two constructions. JOHOB's RFQ team responds within 1 business day and will flag if a buyer's stated duty (potable water, steam, chemical transfer) points to a different inner-tube material than the one requested.

Female to female describes the thread gender at both ends of the 1.5 m hose assembly: BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads sized at 1/2 inch, cut internally (female) rather than externally (male) on both connection points. This orientation is specified when both sides of the connection, for example a valve outlet on one end and an equipment inlet on the other, already have external (male) threads and need a flexible female-to-female bridge between them. Getting the fitting gender wrong is one of the most common reasons a hose assembly arrives and cannot be installed without an adapter. Buyers should confirm thread gender at both connection points before ordering, not just thread size, since a 1/2 inch BSP female-to-female hose will not thread directly onto another female fitting on either end. JOHOB fabricates this assembly to the exact orientation specified in the RFQ: female-female, female-male, or male-male, at 1/2 inch BSP, in the requested overall length. Because each unit is made to order rather than pulled from generic stock, confirming thread gender, thread standard (BSP versus NPT), and overall length up front avoids a reorder cycle and keeps the project on the standard 21 to 35 day ex-stock or 45 to 90 day made-to-order lead time.

JOHOB does not publish a fixed price for this assembly because several variables change the fabrication cost even at a fixed 1/2 inch BSP female-to-female, 1.5 m specification. Braid density and wire gauge, the specific EPDM compound grade, end-fitting material (brass versus stainless), and order quantity all move the unit price, which is why the assembly is quoted rather than listed. VAT treatment also affects the final landed cost: standard 12% VAT applies for VAT-registered buyers, while PEZA and SBMA locators and qualified exporters can transact zero-VAT. Buyers should state their VAT status in the RFQ so the quote reflects the correct terms from the first response. Lead time is the other major quote variable. If the exact specification is available ex-stock, delivery runs 21 to 35 days; if it needs to be fabricated to a non-standard length, braid spec, or fitting combination, lead time extends to 45 to 90 days made-to-order. JOHOB's RFQ team responds within 1 business day with a quote that states unit price, applicable VAT treatment, and confirmed lead time, so buyers can plan procurement against a firm number rather than an estimate.

JOHOB Hardware Trading delivers this assembly nationwide across the Philippines, covering NCR, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, including PEZA, SBMA, and Clark economic zone sites. Buyers at these sites should confirm locator status in the RFQ, since it determines whether the transaction qualifies for zero-VAT treatment instead of the standard 12% VAT rate. To request a quote for the 1/2 inch BSP, female to female, 1.5 m, SS304 braided EPDM hose, buyers should specify the exact thread gender at both ends, confirm BSP versus NPT thread standard, state the required overall length if different from 1.5 m, and note VAT status. JOHOB's RFQ team responds within 1 business day with a firm price, lead time (21 to 35 days ex-stock or 45 to 90 days made-to-order), and VAT treatment. This assembly is one of several piping and accessories items JOHOB supplies alongside its pumping and pressure systems, electrical panel, and water storage tank product lines. Buyers sourcing a full potable water system, pump, panel, tank, and connecting hardware, can request one consolidated quote covering all line items in a single RFQ.
