OVERVIEW

High-Performance Sanitary Fluid Transfer

The Dixon Food Grade Hose (5 ft, Black) is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the food and beverage processing industries. When integrity and purity are paramount, this hose delivers a reliable solution for transferring consumable fluids, potable water, and semi-solids. Manufactured from premium food-grade materials, it ensures that the transferred media remains free from contamination, taste alteration, or odor absorption. The hose is designed to comply with relevant safety standards, making it a trusted component in sanitary production lines, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and cosmetic compounding.

This specific model features a 5-foot length, making it an ideal choice for jumper lines, short connections between processing tanks, or final dispensing applications where long, cumbersome hoses would create tripping hazards or flow restrictions. The black exterior not only provides a professional aesthetic but also offers resistance to UV radiation and general shop grime, ensuring the hose maintains its integrity even in demanding industrial environments. The smooth inner bore is a critical feature, designed to prevent the entrapment of bacteria or particulate matter, thereby simplifying the cleaning and sterilization process (CIP) and reducing downtime during maintenance cycles.

Durability is a key aspect of the Dixon Food Grade Hose. While the inner tube protects the product, the outer cover is built to withstand the physical challenges of a working facility, including abrasion from concrete floors and incidental contact with machinery. Whether used for gravity flow or pump-driven transfer, this hose maintains flexibility, allowing operators to route it easily around equipment without kinking or collapsing. It is an essential component for facility maintenance managers and process engineers who refuse to compromise on safety or quality.

FAQ

Food Grade indicates that the materials used in the hose's construction are non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless, complying with standards (such as FDA) for contact with consumable products.

While food grade hoses generally handle a range of temperatures, please verify the specific temperature rating for this model before using it with boiling or near-boiling liquids to prevent degradation.

Yes, being food grade, it is safe for transferring potable (drinking) water without leaching harmful chemicals or imparting plastic tastes.

The hose can typically be cleaned with standard food-safe sanitizers, mild detergents, and warm water. Ensure it is thoroughly rinsed and dried if stored.

This product listing is for the hose itself. Unless specified in the 'Includes' section as an assembly, fittings are typically sold separately or the hose is bulk cut.

The black color is typically the material of the outer cover itself, designed for UV resistance and durability, not just a surface coating.

No, food grade hoses are designed for water and food products. Petroleum products can degrade the material. Use a dedicated fuel hose for oil or gas.

The hose is designed to be flexible for easy routing, but the 5ft length is relatively short, so it is best used for direct connections rather than long, winding runs.
