Can you manufacture custom pre-formed rubber hoses based on our drawings or samples?
Yes, we specialize in OEM/ODM pre-formed molded rubber hoses. You can provide 2D/3D CAD drawings (STEP, DWG, PDF) or physical samples. We provide in-house 304 stainless steel forming tooling and rapid prototyping to match your exact routing dimensions, bend radii, and server cabinet space constraints.
Is this EPDM hose compatible with standard data center liquid cooling fluids?
Yes. Made of high-grade EPDM compound reinforced with knitted aramid yarn, the hose demonstrates outstanding chemical compatibility with deionized water, ethylene/propylene glycol-water solutions, and dielectric coolants. It prevents swelling, softening, and coolant contamination during long-term continuous circulation.
What are the operating temperature and pressure ratings for this hose?
The hose is designed for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +120°C (-40°F to +248°F). It features a nominal working pressure of ~0.3 MPa and a minimum burst pressure of ≥1.25 MPa, ensuring exceptional safety margins and zero leakage for mission-critical IT cooling loops.
What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and pricing policy?
Our standard MOQ is 100 pcs. We offer competitive tiered FOB pricing: $4.91/pc for 100-299 pcs, and $4.67/pc for orders of 300 pcs or more. For new custom profiles requiring dedicated tooling, the tooling fee ($15.69/set) can be amortized or refunded upon reaching agreed volume milestones.
Can I get samples before placing a bulk order, and what is the sample lead time?
Yes, sample evaluation is warmly welcomed. For existing profiles, stock samples can be dispatched within 3-5 working days. For custom molded shapes requiring new 304 stainless steel tooling, prototype samples are typically delivered within 10-15 business days after drawing confirmation.
How do you ensure zero-leakage quality for data center server cooling?
We implement strict 100% inspection on critical dimensions (OD 11mm, ID 3mm) and surface finish (free of porosity, cracks, and burrs). Every production batch undergoes comprehensive pressure hold tests, airtightness verification, and burst testing. Material test certificates and inspection reports are available upon request.
What is your standard production lead time for mass orders?
For standard batches of 100 to 1,000 pcs, our mass production lead time is approximately 15-20 working days following sample approval and deposit receipt. Expedited manufacturing schedules can be arranged for urgent deployment projects upon consultation.
How are the pre-formed hoses packed to prevent deformation during long-distance transit?
To protect the pre-formed Z-shape geometry from bending or deformation, products are carefully packed in protective inner bags and sturdy export-standard corrugated cartons with custom dividers/cushioning. Palletized packing with shrink film is provided for sea and air freight safety.
