CRIMPED STEAM HOSE ASSEMBLIES FROM MCGILL HOSE

Steam Hose is built to withstand high temperatures, to safely transport steam and hot water for many industrial applications. But as with any harsh environment, safety is a major concern for choosing the right steam hose and fittings for your assemblies.

McGill Hose & Coupling offers a high quality crimping process using Continental Contitech Steam Hose with Campbell Fittings to ensure success for all your applications.

One leaky steam coupling can lead to over $1200 in lost revenue per month and cause serious safety concerns.

McGill Hose fabricates safe and efficient steam hose assemblies using the best quality products in the industry!

Crimped Steam Fittings reduce leak paths, don’t require repeated tightening, and the ground joint fittings can be hand-tightened, producing a secure and reliable seal.

Dust-ignition explosions are cause for concern in numerous industries nationwide. Unless businesses adhere to NFPA standard engineering regulations for static and dust management, they increase the risk of extensive property damage, not to mention worker injury or loss of life.

Our anti-static dust collection hoses and static control hoses play a critical role in maintaining operational safety and preventing fires and explosions. We assist our clients in selecting flexible hoses with the best electrical resistance ratings and appropriate static control hoses to fit the unique risks associated with their facilities and operations.
