OVERVIEW

Safe and Efficient Liquid Nitrogen Transfer

When handling liquid nitrogen, the integrity of your transfer equipment is the first line of defense against accidents. Our 6-foot Cryogenic Transfer Hose (Model JK0.5-SB-N2XN2) is built to provide welders, fabricators, and lab technicians with a reliable solution for moving cryogenic fluids. Unlike standard rubber hoses that can shatter or crack under the extreme cold of liquid nitrogen, this hose is engineered specifically for cryogenic service. It features a flexible inner core protected by a heavy-duty stainless steel mesh braid.

Built for the Cold

Liquid Nitrogen boils at -320°F. At these temperatures, ordinary materials become brittle as glass. This hose utilizes specialized materials that maintain structural integrity in deep-freeze conditions. The stainless steel braid not only looks professional but adds a layer of tough protection that resists sparks, slag, and dragging across concrete floors—common hazards in welding shops and industrial facilities. The 1/2-inch internal diameter is significantly larger than standard 1/4-inch or 3/8-inch lines, allowing for faster transfer speeds. This means you spend less time holding a nozzle and more time getting back to work.

Versatile Applications

Whether you are filling a portable dewar for shrink-fitting metal parts, topping off a cryostat, or supplying a laser cutter with assist gas, this hose delivers. The 6-foot length is the "Goldilocks" size for many shops—long enough to reach from a large bulk tank to a smaller cylinder on a cart, but short enough to store easily when not in use. The fittings are designed for a secure, leak-free seal, preventing the dangerous escape of expanding gas. Always ensure you are using proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including face shields and cryo-gloves, when operating this equipment.

Key Benefits

  • Enhanced Safety: Stainless braid prevents kinking and protects the inner liner.
  • High Flow: 1/2" ID moves liquid faster than standard hoses.
  • Industrial Ready: Rugged construction withstands shop abuse.
  • Flexibility: Remains maneuverable for easy connection and disconnection.

FAQ

This hose has an inner diameter (ID) of 1/2 inch, which allows for a higher flow rate compared to standard 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch hoses.

While the materials may be compatible, hoses for Liquid Oxygen must be specifically cleaned for oxygen service to prevent combustion. This specific SKU is designated for Nitrogen (N2) service. Do not use for Oxygen unless explicitly certified and cleaned for it.

Yes, the hose comes as a complete assembly with fittings installed. Based on the SKU 'N2', it is equipped with fittings compatible with Nitrogen service.

No, this is a standard transfer hose with a stainless steel braid. It is not vacuum insulated. Frost will form on the exterior during use, and it will become extremely cold to the touch. Always wear cryo-gloves.

The hose is 6 feet long.

The stainless steel braid provides mechanical protection against abrasion and cuts, prevents the hose from over-expanding under pressure, and adds general durability for industrial environments.

The hose is rated for cryogenic service, suitable for temperatures as low as -320°F (-196°C), which is the boiling point of Liquid Nitrogen.

Yes, a hose rated for liquid nitrogen can easily handle gaseous nitrogen, provided the pressure does not exceed the hose's maximum working pressure rating.
