Loc-Line World:

  Loc-Line's unique ball and socket design is fully hand adjustable in both position and length.

 

  Bending doesn't decrease the inside diameter and it won't kink or fatigue like copper tubing.

 

  Unlike metal hoses, Loc-Line won't damage machine tool cutters if contact occurs.

 

  Loc-Line is electrically non-conductive. It is ideal for use as an EDM flushing hose.

 

  Loc-Line has no internal positioning rod that can break or restrict flow.

 

  Repeated positioning is easy and it will stay in position without any spring-back. Creep due to machine vibration is eliminated.

Frequently Asked Questions:
I already have Loc-Line, how do I tell what size I have? Loc-Line sizes are measured by the smallest diameter through the center of the hose. Click on the system size to go to page and review the dimensions graphic at the top of the page.
Is it easy to assemble and disassemble? Do I need the assembly pliers? The pliers are designed for assembly only and are not required to assemble the Loc-Line parts together, but they are recommended. The pliers make it quick and easy to assemble the Loc-Line into countless configurations. Without the assembly pliers, there is no real "trick" to getting them assembled - it is a matter of force although assembly can be made easier by first rubbing the Loc-Line ball with your fingers and then snapping them together. The larger sizes of Loc-Line are easier to do by hand. If you have a small order, we can assemble your order prior to shipping at no extra charge upon request. Larger orders can be pre-assembled for a small fee.
Is Loc-Line water proof or leak-proof? No. Loc-Line is designed to be leak resistant but it is not leak proof.
Is Loc-Line safe for food contact? Yes. The material used to manufacture Loc-Line is an acetal copolymer. This material, in accordance to the rules in 21 CFR 177.2470, meets the requirements of this regulation for food contact. All colorants are used at the recommended let-down ration and meet 21 CFR 178.3297 for food contact. Please note, the manufacturer and modularhose.com do not warrant any particular applications for its products.
What is Loc-Line made out of? Loc-Line is manufactured with a premium grade acetal copolymer material which is chemically resistant to petroleum products, coolants, and most common chemicals. Selected parts are also available in an acid resistant polyester.
How much weight can Loc-Line hold? A common question, however, it is difficult to answer. Generally, the larger the system size the more weight it can hold. There are a variety of variables that affect the Loc-Line including temperature, angle, and weight distribution. Due to these variables we cannot answer the question and can only recommend that you test your application.
What colors are available? Can I get a special color? The Loc-Line hose is available in a variety of colors including blue, black, and grey. The connectors are available in orange, black, and grey.
