LF Santoprene Dishwasher Hose 6x10 mm for Professional Appliances

A flexible hose connects the water supply to the spray arms and detergent dispensers inside professional dishwashers, glasswashers and pan washers. The water travels under pressure from the building's plumbing into the machine, where it is heated and mixed with cleaning chemicals before being sprayed onto the load. Without a reliable hose, the machine cannot fill, and the wash cycle cannot start.

Santoprene is a synthetic rubber that resists both hot water and the alkaline detergents used in commercial kitchens. It stays supple over repeated heating and cooling cycles, so it does not crack or split when the machine is switched on and off throughout the day. The material also withstands the flexing that happens when the machine is moved for cleaning or servicing.

The hose is cut to length and fitted between the water inlet valve and the internal distribution manifold. One end connects to the valve with a clamp or quick-release fitting; the other end attaches to the manifold in the same way. Once the clamps are tightened, the operator turns on the water supply and runs a short test cycle to check for leaks. If the hose is sound, the machine returns to normal service.

This hose is made from santoprene, a durable synthetic rubber that does not degrade when exposed to hot water and commercial detergents. The 6 mm internal diameter and 10 mm external diameter match the standard fittings used on the listed machines, so no adaptors are needed.

The hose fits a wide range of professional dishwashers, glasswashers and utensil washers from AMIKA, APACH, COLGED, DESCO, DIHR, ELETTROBAR, EMMEPI, EUROWASH, LUXIA, SMEG, UNIVERBAR, WOLK and ZANUSSI. Each brand's compatible models are listed in the catalogue under the spare-parts section for commercial dishwashing equipment.
