Low-End Products
These utilize aluminum wire and rubber; while affordable, they are prone to leaks and oxidation. Low-end braided hoses typically feature materials such as fine aluminum wire, iron nuts, zinc alloy cores, and rubber inner tubes. Although these products are budget-friendly, their quality is inferior, making them susceptible to issues such as water leakage and oxidation.
Mid-Range Products
These employ 304 stainless steel wire and EPDM, offering a service life of over five years. Mid-range braided hoses primarily utilize 304 stainless steel wire and EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) materials, and are equipped with solid brass fittings; their service life typically exceeds five years.
High-End Products
These feature stainless steel wire and food-grade materials, meeting rigorous specifications suitable for applications such as water purification systems. High-end braided hoses-such as those designed for water purifiers-are subject to much stricter specifications. They typically represent an upgrade over mid-range configurations, incorporating features such as 304 stainless steel wire, food-grade EPDM inner tubes, high-quality brass fittings (59-1 grade), and silicone gaskets to ensure exceptional product quality and durability.
