(2) Classification

Braided hoses can generally be divided into single-headed tubes, braided tubes, and shower tubes according to their functions. Braided hoses can be divided into low, medium and high grades according to the production process. Low-grade braided hoses use aluminum wires with smaller diameters than low-end wires, iron nuts, zinc alloy inner cores, and rubber inner tubes. Products with this configuration have a certain price advantage, but problems such as water leakage and oxidation are prone to occur. The mid-range braided tube is mainly made of 304 steel wire, EPDM material, and all copper fittings. The applicable period is generally more than 5 years. High-end braided hoses have specific uses, such as water purifier braided hoses. It is generally required that the configuration of the mid-range comes first. Common configurations include 304 stainless steel wire, food-grade silicone inner tube, etc.

Braided hoses can be divided into single-headed tubes, braided tubes, and shower tubes according to their uses. The single-head tube is mainly used for kitchen and bathroom hardware such as faucets and vegetable sinks. The braiding requires 304 stainless steel wire, EPDM inner tube, and all-copper accessories. The braided tube is divided into stainless steel and alloy wire (aluminum wire). Also divided into upper and lower. Shower pipes are generally made of 58-3 copper fittings and EPDM inner pipes, which are braided from 201 and 304 stainless steel. Of course, they also include high-end all-copper braids and stainless steel gold-plated products. These are relatively high-end products in braided hoses.
