APRIL 2021: Once stock depletes, this hose will be replaced by our NL5021 Contitech Red Drinkline. For users who do not prefer the modern NL5015 Grey Vintner (with poly helix reinforcement), our NL5020 Brewer's Discharge is the traditional, competitively priced, non-helix, "red" hose seen in breweries. It is designed for gravity flow or pressure discharge of NON-OILY and non-abrasive fluids, such as wine, beer, spirits, milk, potable water, and many juices (NOT recommended for certain liquors, refer to chemical charts). Although it does not contain an integral helix to prevent collapsing, its thick wall provides resistance to kinking and light vacuum. Its chlorobutyl tube has excellent resistance to open end steam sterilization as well as high temperature, modern cleaning and sterilization solutions (CIP, Clean-In-Place), such as sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, and peroxyacetic acid (always refer to chemical charts for proper hose tube/cover compatibility). Brewer's Discharge tube is formed on a smooth chrome mandrel, designed to not impart taste or transfer odour. It has a traditional wrapped, slightly textured rubber cover.

Construction: Tube: Ultra-smooth, white chlorobutyl rubber. Cover: Wrapped, smooth, red EPDM. Reinforcement: Spiral plied synthetic fabric, 4 plies on 3/4" to 1-1/2" sizes, 6 plies on 2" and up.

Typical Fittings: Stainless Sanitary Inserts (Tri-Clamp, Acme, etc), N5013 Interlocking Sanitary Crimp w/N5013F Ferrule, White Poly or Stainless Camlocks (exchange food grade gasket); for plain/non-interlock Insert Fittings, we recommend Stainless Band/Bolt Clamps (NOT recommended with plain, non-interlocking WC-SS crimp sleeves due to temperature rubber flow & coupling integrity). Excessive heat in long cycles can compromise coupling integrity on thick, soft durometer hoses.

Temperature Range: -40°C (-40°F) to +116°C (241°F); Clean-in-place 120°C (248°F) - Not for continuous steam service.
