Contitech Gray Vintner Food Rubber Transfer Hose

Contitech (formerly Goodyear) Vintner Reserve Hose is the first crushproof hose designed for the winery & brewery industry. As the originator, it has proven to be the most reliable and popular brand. It is made of high-quality EPDM; it will not impart taste or transfer odour and will perform for many years. What makes this hose unique is it is a lightweight, 'crush resistant' alternative to traditional softwall or steel wire reinforced hoses. Vintner has a special polyester monofilament helix which will not corrode or rust and will tend to spring back to shape when crushed. It is suitable for gravity flow, pressure, or suction (27"/hg) of non-oily edible products and fluids, such as wine, beer, and potable water. It is also designed to withstand a greater number of chemicals and substances (including ozone) that may be found in a brewery, winery, or distillery (refer to EPDM chemical resistance charts). This allows an increased range of cleaning options and better coupling retention when exposed to high temperatures. It is made of FDA-compliant compounds and is USDA and 3-A sanitary standard 18-03 compliant. While it is not compatible with oily products, it can be steam cleaned (open end) after use. The smooth cover and tube prevent material and bacteria buildup. We offer Vintner Hose in bulk and as a hose assembly with Tri-Clamp Ends. 

Standard lengths are listed below but custom lengths are available on special request - please contact our sales department.  

Contitech Vintner hose is transitioning to EPDM liners for additional reliability and compatibility. There is a limited stock of chlorobutyl-lined hose remaining.
