For high-temperature applications such as steam lines or exhaust-adjacent routing, a silicone or EPDM hose would be more appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eWhy does the wall thickness vary between sizes?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-faq-body\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eWall thickness is engineered relative to the inner diameter to maintain structural integrity and pressure resistance across the size range. Smaller IDs (6mm, 8mm) use a 2.5mm wall, while mid-range IDs (10mm, 12mm) use a 3mm wall for added strength at larger bore sizes. Larger IDs (16mm–32mm) return to 2.5mm walls, which is in line with standard flexible hose construction for those diameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- ⑥ CTA BAR --\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-cta\"\u003e\n    🛒 Select your inner diameter and length above, then add to cart — ships from our US warehouse.\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HomeDIYer","offers":[{"title":"6mm x 2.5mm \/ 1 Meter","offer_id":52332866535698,"sku":"Adaah015158x1","price":12.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6mm x 2.5mm \/ 2 Meter","offer_id":52332866568466,"sku":"Adaah015158x2","price":20.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6mm x 2.5mm \/ 5 Meter","offer_id":52332866601234,"sku":"Adaah015158x5","price":45.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6mm x 2.5mm \/ 10 Meter","offer_id":52332866634002,"sku":"Adaah015158x10","price":90.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8mm x 2.5mm \/ 1 Meter","offer_id":52332866666770,"sku":"Adaah015159x1","price":14.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8mm x 2.5mm \/ 2 Meter","offer_id":52332866699538,"sku":"Adaah015159x2","price":24.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8mm x 2.5mm \/ 5 Meter","offer_id":52332866732306,"sku":"Adaah015159x5","price":53.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10mm x 3mm \/ 1 Meter","offer_id":52332866765074,"sku":"Adaah015160x1","price":21.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10mm x 3mm \/ 2 Meter","offer_id":52332866797842,"sku":"Adaah015160x2","price":38.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10mm x 3mm \/ 5 Meter","offer_id":52332866830610,"sku":"Adaah015160x5","price":95.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12mm x 3mm \/ 1 Meter","offer_id":52332866863378,"sku":"Adaah015161x1","price":22.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12mm x 3mm \/ 2 Meter","offer_id":52332866896146,"sku":"Adaah015161x2","price":41.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12mm x 3mm \/ 5 Meter","offer_id":52332866928914,"sku":"Adaah015161x5","price":100.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16mm x 2.5mm \/ 1 Meter","offer_id":52332866961682,"sku":"Adaah015162x1","price":16.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16mm x 2.5mm \/ 2 Meter","offer_id":52332866994450,"sku":"Adaah015162x2","price":29.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16mm x 2.5mm \/ 5 Meter","offer_id":52332867027218,"sku":"Adaah015162x5","price":71.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"19mm x 2.5mm \/ 1 Meter","offer_id":52332867059986,"sku":"Adaah015163x1","price":22.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25mm x 2.5mm \/ 1 Meter","offer_id":52332867092754,"sku":"Adaah015164x1","price":28.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"32mm x 2.5mm \/ 1 Meter","offer_id":52332867125522,"sku":"Adaah015165x1","price":30.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0884\/8936\/1682\/files\/Picture4of7_a1321ad8-8d04-4364-b526-5de89e6f51d2.jpg?v=1780983559","url":"https:\/\/homediyer.com\/de\/products\/transparent-pvc-steel-wire-reinforced-flexible-hose","provider":"HomeDIYer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
