The ROHRflex PA 6, AD34,5 from Flexa is a full-plastic corrugated hose designed for use in electrical and plant installation. It serves as a protective sleeve for cables and lines in various industrial sectors and features a slim profile with an internally and externally corrugated structure. The hose is made of polyamide (PA 6) and is available in black, with a grey variant also offered. It is suitable for nearly all applications in indoor and outdoor environments and complies with numerous international standards and approvals.

Applications
This protective sleeve is used in the machine, plant, and vehicle industries, as well as in rail vehicle and shipbuilding. It is also suitable for automation systems and electrical installations. Approvals according to EN/IEC 61386-23, UL 1696, CSA 22.2, Lloyds Register of Shipping, DNV, EN 45545 (HL3), NFPA 130, ASTM E 162-E 662, SMP 800-C, UNI CEI 11170, GGVSEB, and CE confirm its suitability for demanding environments, particularly in rail vehicle technology and shipbuilding, where high safety requirements apply.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The ROHRflex PA 6 is air- and fluid-tight, making it suitable for use in damp or wet environments. It is oil-resistant up to +80°C, gasoline-resistant, and largely resistant to acids and solvents. These properties make it robust against chemical influences in industrial applications. The hose is silicone-free, cadmium-free, and halogen-free, making it suitable for applications with special environmental and safety requirements. It is self-extinguishing and flame-retardant, reducing fire hazard. UV resistance enables outdoor use without premature aging.

Technology Explained Simply
The hose is made of polyamide (PA 6), a high-quality plastic known for its mechanical strength and chemical resistance. The V0 classification according to UL 94 indicates that the material is self-extinguishing and produces only limited flame when ignited. Temperature resistance ranges from -40°C to +120°C, with short-term exposure up to +150°C possible. These properties ensure reliable performance under varying environmental conditions. The internally and externally corrugated structure allows flexible routing of cables and lines without compromising mechanical stability.

Compatibility and Accessories
The ROHRflex PA 6, AD34,5 can be combined with various quick couplings and adapters specifically developed for this hose type. These include, for example, the quick coupling RQB45-P AD34,5-PG29, the flange adapter RQF2-M M40, the NPT 1 inch quick coupling RQG-N AD34,5, and various 90° quick couplings such as RQB1 90-M AD34,5-M32 and RQB1 90-M AD34,5-M40. Additional compatible components include the cable protection cap RQA AD34,5, the holder with cover RQHG AD34,5, the solid hose holder RQM AD34,5, and various straight and angled quick couplings such as RQG2-M, RQB45-M, RQW1-M, RQW-F, RQG1-S, RQW-M, RQG1-P, RQG-M, RQGZ-M, RQGK-M, and RQBK90DR-N. These accessories enable flexible and secure installation of the hose in various scenarios.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out using the designated quick couplings, which allow for easy and fast connections. The hose ends can be directly inserted into the couplings and screwed in, ensuring a secure fastening. The use of holders and flange adapters enables firm attachment to machines, devices, or structures. The slim profile of the hose facilitates placement in tight installation situations.

Operational Advantages
The ROHRflex PA 6 offers high mechanical strength and chemical resistance, extending the service life of the installation. Its flame-retardant and self-extinguishing properties enhance safety, especially in fire-hazardous environments. UV resistance and resistance to oil, gasoline, and solvents ensure reliable performance over a long period. Approvals according to EN 45545 (HL3) and NFPA 130 make it particularly suitable for use in rail vehicles and ships, where high safety standards apply. REACH and RoHS compliance ensures environmental compatibility and adherence to European regulations.
