Silicone Hose – AM-LVA004 for Glass Lamination
Product Overview
The AM-LVA004 silicone hose is a precision-engineered tubing solution, purpose-built for laminated glass manufacturing processes. Often used alongside our silicone bag (AM-LVA001), this flexible hose serves as a reliable conduit for air, vacuum, or fluid transfer during autoclave curing. Its compact 8.5 mm inner diameter and 17 mm outer diameter make it ideal for connecting fittings, vacuum ports, and pressure lines where heat resistance and airtight seals are non-negotiable.
Crafted from premium silicone rubber, this tube retains its elasticity under repeated thermal cycles, ensuring consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
• Flexible Yet Durable – Remains pliable for easy routing around machinery, while resisting compression set and wear over time.
• Superior Heat Resistance – Withstands the high temperatures of autoclave lamination without softening, cracking, or leaching impurities.
• Precise Dimensions – 8.5 mm inner diameter × 17 mm outer diameter ensures a snug, leak-proof fit on standard nozzles and adapters.
• Non-Toxic & Inert – Silicone material does not react with glass interlayers or adhesives, maintaining product purity.
• Smooth Inner Wall – Minimises flow resistance and prevents clogging during vacuum or coolant circulation.
• Long Service Life – Excellent ageing resistance reduces replacement frequency, saving maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this hose suitable for vacuum applications?
A: Yes – its thick wall (4.25mm) and smooth bore make it excellent for maintaining strong vacuum seals without collapsing under pressure.
A: Yes – its thick wall (4.25mm) and smooth bore make it excellent for maintaining strong vacuum seals without collapsing under pressure.
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature?
A: We recommend continuous use up to 200°C, with peak tolerance up to 230°C, matching standard autoclave curing cycles.
Q: How is it packaged with the silicone bag?
A: The hose is coiled and placed securely inside the same carton or wooden case as the silicone bag, ensuring safe transport and consolidated shipping.
Q: Can I order just 1 meter?
A: Absolutely. The MOQ is 1 meter, making it easy for you to test fitment on your machine before committing to larger quantities.
