Stainless ACS hose Fleck, ref. DIMFLEX-DN20-2516-34FF-300-INOX

Overview

Fleck stainless-steel ACS connection hose (ref. DIMFLEX-DN20-2516-34FF-300-INOX) for water-treatment stations. Designed to link the filter valve to the network, it ensures a tight, durable connection suitable for drinking-water contact (ACS approval).

Role & materials

The hose provides the hydraulic link between the iron-removal filter and the pipework (inlet, outlet, drain). Stainless braid and brass/stainless fittings offer pressure and corrosion resistance. Length and diameters/threads must match the valve and existing network.

Installation & maintenance

Fit the hose without twisting, tighten the nuts hand-tight then a quarter-turn with a spanner, with the seals in place. Check for leaks when pressurising. Replace any hose showing corrosion or seepage to preserve tightness.

Compatibility

The reference encodes the nominal diameter (DN), the threads (male/female, swivel nut) and the length. Check the match with the valve inlets/outlets and the network diameters. A stainless braided hose with ACS approval suits drinking water and withstands the working pressure of domestic and tertiary treatment installations.

Use cases

This hose is fitted at the inlet, outlet and drain of iron-removal stations and softeners. It eases mounting on imperfectly aligned pipework, absorbs slight misalignment and allows quick removal of the appliance for maintenance, without work on the fixed pipe. Keeping a spare hose of the right size also shortens the downtime during maintenance or a rapid on-site replacement.

Savings & ecology

A reliable connection prevents leaks and water loss and secures the filter's operation. Durable stainless hoses space out replacements and limit call-outs, for an economical installation.

Choosing right

To choose well, check the required diameters, threads and length, and the ACS approval for drinking water. If unsure, the DIMM team will point you to the right hose for your valve and network.

Key specifications

DIMM service & support

DIMM designs, assembles and ships turnkey iron-removal stations (BIRM, Greensand, Pyrolusite, Ecomix) on Clack, Fleck and Ecosoft valves, plus the hoses and connection accessories. Our technical teams analyse your water, size vessel and valve and advise the right pre-treatment (aeration, pre-filtration). Every item is identified by its article code for reliable ordering, with manufacturer's warranty, spare parts and refill media available. Whether you equip a domestic borehole, a farm or a tertiary building, we support you from water analysis to the choice of medium and valve, through to commissioning and maintenance follow-up of your station.

Good to know

Catalytic iron removal (BIRM, Greensand, Pyrolusite) requires regular backwash and sufficient flow: undersizing the vessel degrades efficiency. Check dissolved oxygen and pH before choosing the medium. For multi-problem well water (iron + hardness), Ecomix simplifies by treating everything in a single salt-regenerated vessel. Also consider an upstream sediment pre-filter, drainage for the backwash water and an annual media check: these three habits preserve efficiency and extend the station's life.

Applications

This hose equips treatment stations (iron removal, softeners) in residential and professional settings, at first installation and replacement. It provides a clean, removable link between valve and network, easing maintenance and future changes.
