Medium-Weight Polyurethane Hose for Dust Collection, Food Grade, and Industrial Applications

The Flx-Thane MD Clear is a medium-weight polyurethane hose that balances flexibility, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance across one of the widest application ranges of any hose on this site. The bronze-coated spring steel wire helix holds shape under vacuum while the clear polyurethane walls let you monitor material flow and spot blockages. Good compressibility makes storage and transport easier in service-based operations.

Manufactured with FDA-acceptable materials, this hose serves food-grade powder and granular transport alongside industrial dust collection, CNC machining, laser engraving, and dozens of other applications. For metric-standard equipment, see the Flx-Thane MD Metric Clear. Many sizes available.

From Woodshops to Food Processing

In dust collection and woodworking, the MD Clear handles wood chips, sawdust, and fine particles with low friction loss. In food processing, FDA-acceptable materials make it suitable for powder and granular transport. The hose also serves agricultural material handling, concrete transport, paint spray extraction, sheet metal operations, and oil mist extraction. Wide temperature range performance keeps it working in environments from cold storage to heated manufacturing processes.

For heavier-duty applications requiring greater puncture and tear resistance, consider the Flx-Thane HD. For lighter-duty woodshop dust collection, the Flex-Tube PV offers a PVC alternative at a lower price point.

Flx-Thane® MD Polyurethane Dust Collection Hose is highly flexible, compressible, and puncture resistant to stand up to the toughest wood chips and sawdust. Clear for easy contents viewing, this robust polyurethane hose is reinforced with a bronze coated spring steel wire helix and is available in 2 to 12" (50.8 to 304.8 mm) I.D. sizes in 6 to 50 ft lengths for hose 4", 6", and 8" I.D.s. For 2" to 12" I.D.s, standard 25 ft lengths are available. You can customize your fit.
