The Flexa USK-M10 is a multi-part, fully plastic-moulded hose connector designed for use with AIRflex-KUW-PVC-AS and AIRflex-K hoses. It serves as a secure fastening solution in the field of electrical and installation technology, particularly for the routing of cables and hoses in areas with increased requirements for mechanical and weather-related durability. The connector is equipped with an integrated inner sleeve, ensuring a secure and tight connection between the hose and the connector. The design features metric threading in accordance with EN 60423, enabling standardised installation and compatibility with other components.

Protection rating IP 65 according to EN 60529 protects the connector against dust and splashing water, making it suitable for use outdoors or in damp indoor environments. The product is grey in colour, with a variant available in PG dimensions. The nominal size is AD 10, corresponding to an inner diameter of 6.0 mm and an outer diameter of 20.0 mm. The connector is supplied in M 10 x 1.0 configuration, ensuring a precise fit for the intended hoses.

Applications include the installation of electrical wiring, data cables, or pneumatic hoses in industrial, commercial, and municipal facilities. The hose connector is particularly suitable for applications requiring a tight and mechanically stable connection, such as in production plants, building automation, or machine cabling. The integrated inner sleeve ensures the hose is not damaged and a secure connection is established without requiring additional fastening elements.

Functions and equipment in detail include the fully plastic-moulded construction, which offers high chemical resistance and corrosion-free performance. The multi-part design enables easy assembly and disassembly, with the inner sleeve stabilising the hose and creating a sealing effect. The metric thread design in accordance with EN 60423 ensures universal compatibility with other components manufactured to this standard.

Technology explained simply indicates that protection rating IP 65 means the device is protected against dust and splashing water. This makes the connector suitable for use in damp or slightly contaminated environments. The inner sleeve prevents the hose from tearing or loosening within the connector body, increasing the reliability of the connection. The fully plastic-moulded construction prevents corrosion and ensures a long service life even under harsh operating conditions.

Compatibility and accessories refer to use with AIRflex-KUW-PVC-AS and AIRflex-K hoses. The connector is specifically designed for these hose types to ensure optimal fit and sealing performance. Availability in PG dimensions expands application possibilities, particularly for connections to PG sockets or enclosures.

Installation and mounting is carried out by simply screwing the connector into the corresponding thread. The inner sleeve ensures the hose is securely held within the connector body. No additional tools or mounting aids are required, as the connector is mechanically stable and easy to handle. Installation is performed in the usual manner using a screwdriver or an appropriate wrench, depending on the application.

Operational advantages include high mechanical stability, chemical resistance, and easy installation. The IP 65 protection rating ensures reliable performance even under challenging environmental conditions. The fully plastic-moulded design prevents corrosion and ensures a long service life. The integrated inner sleeve reduces the risk of hose damage and enhances the safety of the connection.
