Bellows: used for the transmission of high-temperature liquids and gases. Such as the water inlet pipe of the water heater, the gas delivery pipe, the water inlet pipe of the faucet, etc. For areas with poor water quality, the connecting pipe of the water heater can be preferentially selected as the corrugated pipe, which will last longer.
The advantages of stainless steel are bellow corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance, high-pressure resistance, suitable for heating pipelines. Large pipe diameter equals large water flow.
Disadvantages of stainless steel bellows: it must be kept vertical to the joint during installation, otherwise it is easy to cause water leakage. The bellows are not easy to bend at the same place many times, otherwise, it will cause the wall of the bellows to break.
－The components are not the same
Stainless steel braided hose: wire, inner tube, steel sleeve, tube core, gasket, nut
Bellows: nut, tube body, gasket, dust cover
－Different effects
Braided pipe: It is mainly used to connect the angle valve at the water inlet to the basin faucet, kitchen faucet, vertical bathtub faucet, water heater, central air conditioner, and toilet to form a water supply channel or drain pipe
Bellows: used for the transmission of high-temperature liquids and gases. Such as the water inlet and outlet pipes of the water dispenser, the water inlet and outlet pipes of the water heater, the gas delivery pipe, the water inlet pipe of the faucet, etc. For areas with poor water quality, the connecting pipe of the water heater can be preferentially selected as the corrugated pipe, which will last longer.
－The production method and performance are different
Stainless steel braided hose: It is made of 6 strands of 304 stainless steel wire. The flexibility of the whole tube is better and the anti-riot effect is good. However, compared with the corrugated tube, the diameter is smaller and the water flow is small.
Stainless steel bellows: The tube body is uneven, with only one outer tube, no inner tube, and the tube body is hard. Pay special attention to the installation. It is best to choose a vertical installation. Do not bend at the same place multiple times to avoid occurrence Water leaks and breaks.
－Respective advantages
The advantages of stainless steel bellow corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance, high-pressure resistance, suitable for heating pipelines. Large pipe diameter equals large water flow. The disadvantage of stainless steel bellows is that it must be vertical to the joint during installation, otherwise, it is easy to cause water leakage. The bellows are not easy to bend at the same place many times, otherwise, it will cause the wall of the bellows to break. Secondly, it is expensive.
Advantages of stainless steel braided pipe: The inner connecting pipe and the gasket of the connecting part are made of EPDM high-quality rubber. Non-toxic, anti-aging, anti-ozone, anti-erosion, cold resistance, high-temperature resistance, high-pressure resistance, and excellent sealing performance. Secondly, the price is cheap. The disadvantages of the stainless steel braided pipe are: the process is complicated, and the high-temperature resistance strength is worse than that of the corrugated pipe.
