BEVERAGE TUBING

BEVLEX™ - a recognized name in beverage transfer products.
The Bevlex™ name covers a wide range of hose tubing and bundle products manufactured specifically for the beverage industry.  With changes in materials and processing techniques over the years since its first introduction, the Bevlex line of products has continuously been improved with such innovations as seamless barrier tubing and cabled barrier bundles.
The Bevlex™ family of products now includes Bev-Seal™ barrier hose, tubing and bundles, Bev-Flex™ hose and Bev-Steel™ wire reinforced beverage hose.  Together, they provide the widest range of flexible hose beverage transfer products available from one manufacturer.
 
BEV-FLEX® - the flexible beverage hose.
This revolutionary product adds the flexibility that you need to the protection provided by the same liner used in quality Bevlex and Bev-Seal beverage products.  Bev-Flex hose is extremely flexible, kink resistant and allows a very tight bend radius for those hard to install locations.

BEV-SEAL® - hose, tubing and beverage bundles.
The unique multi-layer design combines the inner surface material of the popular Bevlex™ products with a seamless barrier in a fully-bonded construction.  Whenever taste transfer or product contamination is a concern, choose Bev-Seal® products.

FLAMMABILITY RATING of Bevlex Bundles
During the installation of Bevlex beverage transfer products, questions often arise regarding the building regulations relating to flammability.

Food grade polyethylene tubing and hose incorporating an EVA jacket are flammable by nature.  Use of flame-retardant additives are not allowed under the FDA-CFR Title 21 for food contact articles.  If ignited, these products will burn and melt.

PVC hoses and tubing, and PVC coated beverage bundles are self-extinguishing.  Although they will burn when exposed to a flame source, they will self-extinguish when the flame source is removed.  These products satisfy the requirements of the Underwriters Laboratories standards UL94HB (horizontal burn) and UL94V-0 (vertical burn-maximum 10 seconds).  When installed in exposed locations such as under a bar counter these performance ratings are sufficient.

When the beverage transfer product is installed in a concealed space between a ceiling and floor, or a ceiling and roof, much more severe flammability restrictions may apply.  It is the responsibility of the contractor installing the hoses and tubes to ensure that all local federal building codes are satisfied.

The most restrictive application involves a concealed space used as a return air plenum.  All materials must be "non-combustible" having a maximum flame-spread rating of 25 and smoke developed classification of not more than 50.  It must be noted that none of the Bevlex products (tubing, hose or bundles) will satisfy this requirement.

Whenever a "non-combustible" rating is needed, the product must be installed inside a conduit, duct, or other enclosure built of non-combustible material (dry wall, metal conduit, flexible metal ducting etc.).

The test methods often used to define "non-combustible" materials are ASTM E84 in the USA and CAN/ULC S102.2 in Canada.  Both involve testing of surface burning characteristics and use a "Steiner Tunnel".  Without suitable external protection, the Bevlex products will not satisfy the flame spread and smoke development ratings of 25 and 50 respectively.

SUMMARY The flammability characteristics of the Bevlex product lines are tabulated below:

Product Type Series Flammability
Polyethylene Tubing 222 / 224 Material will ignite and burn.
Reinforced Polyethylene Hose 170 / 174 Material will ignite and burn.
PVC Tubing 205 / 206 / 213 Self Extinguishing UL94HB/V-0
Insulated Bundle 931 Jacket material is self extinguishing UL94HB/V-0
Uninsulated Bundle 932
