Varieties of corrugated hoses for heat gun

Quite often, the energy element in heating devices is diesel or kerosene, after burning which produces a large amount of by-products. The corrugated air vent hose is used as a kind of chimney to remove the gases remaining after burning out of the main fuel. Consider the main types of sleeves for heat guns, as well as learn how to choose the most suitable.

Types of corrugations

Depending on the type of premises can be applied a variety of sleeves. Most often, experts prefer corrugated metal hose, which are of various types.

1. Rolled - Corrugation used to remove heating by-products. Its outer surface is made in the form of a twisted hose. Such a hose is obtained by rolling the metal strip in a spiral, followed by profiling.This product is flexible and reliable.
2. Stainless - such a hose is used for diesel or gas heat guns as an exhaust gas removal system. This product is usually intended for small stationary units. For example, stainless corrugations are perfect for a heat gun installed in a garage or workshop.
3. Multilayer - these hoses are designed to provide access to oxygen in the converter installations. The multi-layer hose is highly durable and does not need to be replaced for a long time.
4. High pressure - flexible corrugation for heat gun, designed to operate in a bent state. Among other things, such a hose is designed to redirect secondary gas flows at extreme temperatures. Experts turn to this type of corrugation when installing heating in industrial premises.

5. Vacuum - corrugated hose made of bellows. A characteristic feature of the product is high-frequency corrugation.

Note! The exhaust gas hose can only be connected to a heat gun operating on the principle of indirect heating.

How to choose a corrugated hose

Before proceeding to the selection of corrugations, you must do the following:

• specify which class your heat gun belongs to - diesel or gas;
• calculate the exact dimensions of the sleeve that you need;
• consider the diameter beforehand - the internal size of the pipe plays a significant role in the vapor system;
• decide on the material from which the tube will be made - it can be stainless steel or plain steel.

Stainless steel corrugated metal pipe is characterized by a high level of reliability and safe use. Plain metal or other materials are not always able to withstand intense exploitation. The main advantage of stainless steel coating is a high degree of resistance to weather conditions and aggressive media. This property allows you to set the corrugation both on the street and in the premises. High durability of the sleeve ensures effective system operation under the influence of extreme temperatures for a long time.

Carefully approach the implementation of each item. Remember, how much you calculate the number of meters or the diameter of the sleeve, will depend on the efficiency of the entire system.Do not skimp on the purchase of high-quality sleeves, and it will serve you for many years.
