Expert in Custom Rubber & Silicone/Plastic Tubing, Seals, and Profiles – Comprehensive Solutions for Sealing, Fluid Transfer, and Structural Applications.
Rubber tubing in dishwashers is a flexible, durable hose designed to transport water, steam, or drain fluids between components (e.g., inlet valves, pumps, and drainage systems). Key features include: Material: Typically made from food-grade synthetic rubber (e.g., EPDM or silicone) to resist high temperatures (up to 90°C+/194°F), detergents, and microbial growth. Function: Water Inlet Tubing: Connects the water supply to the dishwasher, often reinforced to handle water pressure. Drain Hose: Corrugated or smooth tubing to expel wastewater, resistant to clogs and grease buildup. Safety: Non-toxic, odorless, and compliant with standards like FDA, NSF, or EU 1935/2004 for food contact. Durability: Resists cracking, bending, and mineral deposits for long-term use. Advantages: Flexible installation, leak-proof design, and quiet operation compared to rigid pipes.
