As a family-owned and operated Australian company, we pride ourselves on delivering more than just products; we deliver trust, expertise, and support to customers nationwide.

From mining operations in Western Australia to critical infrastructure projects in Melbourne’s CBD, our commitment is simple:

Quality you can rely on, backed by service you can trust.


Project Spotlight – Melbourne CBD Pump System Installation

Recently, Fox Global supplied 2 ½″ (65mm) Braided Stainless Steel Convoluted Hose Assemblies with Stainless Steel AS2129 Table E Flanges for a pump installation in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD.

These hoses needed to perform under demanding conditions — ensuring safe, leak-free transfer in a confined urban environment. Every assembly was:

  • Manufactured from premium-grade stainless steel
  • Precision flanged to AS2129 Table E standard
  • Hydrostatically tested and certified to meet Australian Standards

The result? A robust, high-performance installation designed for long service life in one of Australia’s busiest commercial hubs.

  • 316 Stainless Steel – Superior corrosion resistance, ideal for marine, chemical, and food-grade environments.

Size Range

  • From ¼″ to 6″ diameter (6mm to 150mm).
  • Available in custom lengths to suit your installation requirements.

Testing & Certification

  • All assemblies tested to Australian Standards before dispatch.
  • Hydrostatic pressure testing for leak-free assurance.
  • Certification provided for compliance and safety records.

Benefits of Stainless Steel Convoluted Hose Assemblies

  1. Flexibility – Convoluted design allows for tight bend radii without kinking.
  2. Durability – Stainless steel construction resists wear, fatigue, and chemical attack.
  3. Temperature Tolerance – Suitable for extreme temperatures — hot or cold.
  4. Pressure Capability – Designed to handle high operating pressures with confidence.

  • Custom Adaptors – Built to match your application

Industries We Serve

Our stainless steel convoluted hoses are trusted in:

  • Mining – Pumping abrasive slurries, dewatering, process lines.
  • Oil & Gas – Transfer of fuel, chemicals, and process fluids.
  • Marine – Saltwater cooling systems, ballast transfer, and deck wash systems.
  • Food & Beverage – Hygienic transfer of liquids in breweries, dairies, and food plants.
  • Construction – High-pressure water transfer, dust suppression, and dewatering.

Why Australian Standards Testing Matters

We don’t cut corners. Every hose that leaves our workshop is tested in accordance with Australian Standards, ensuring:

  • Safety – No leaks, no weak points, no compromise.
  • Performance – Verified to handle your required operating pressures.
  • Compliance – Meets industry and site-specific safety protocols.

This means you can install Fox Global hoses with confidence knowing they’ve been built and tested for the job.


Custom Manufacturing Capability

Need something non-standard? Fox Global can:

  • Build custom lengths to exact measurement.

  • Manufacture hoses with special braiding for added abrasion resistance.
  • Provide urgent turnaround for breakdown situations.

Our in-house manufacturing capability means we control the quality from start to finish.


Example Specification – Melbourne CBD Project

  • Size: 2 ½″ (65mm)
  • Material: 316 Stainless Steel (Hose & Braid)
  • End Fittings: Stainless Steel AS2129 Table E Flanges
  • Testing: Hydrostatic test to 1.5x working pressure
  • Application: Pump connection in high-rise building system

This build delivered the flexibility to absorb vibration, the strength to handle operating pressure, and the corrosion resistance to last in a humid pump room environment.


Safety Considerations

When working with stainless steel hoses:

  • Always select the correct pressure rating for your application.
  • Avoid exceeding the bend radius to prevent damage.
  • Ensure fittings are properly aligned to prevent torsional stress.
  • Conduct periodic inspections for signs of wear or fatigue.
