What is the purpose of the stainless steel braid on a commercial flexible gas connector?

The stainless steel braid on a commercial flexible gas connector serves the primary purpose of adding support and preventing tearing. This braid reinforces the flexible gas connector, allowing it to withstand the movement and vibrations that may occur during the operation of commercial kitchen equipment. By providing structural strength, the stainless steel braid helps to maintain the integrity of the gas line, reducing the risk of leaks or damage over time.

In commercial settings where equipment may be frequently adjusted or moved, the durability and flexibility offered by this braiding are crucial. It allows for safe gas delivery while accommodating the demands of a busy kitchen environment.
