Universal ULTRAFLEX small diameter stainless steel square locked and interlocked hose is designed specifically as protective casing or armor for temperature measuring devices, fiber optics, telephone cord, electrical wiring, security devices, rip cord armor and capillary tubing. This material is very flexible or “floppy” tubing that permits full extension or compression without binding or friction. Interlocked configurations have high tensile strength and crush resistance – it will not spring open or unwind. This product was known as Anaconda Metal Hose or Anamet Industrial SL square lock or UI CAP interlock protective casing.
