Codan specialises in the design and manufacture of formed hoses, from simple elbows to multi branch shapes. These can be produced in a variety of rubber compounds including silicone.
Hoses can be reinforced with heat resistant materials for pressurised systems or can be produced without any reinforcement for low pressure or vapour application. Shaped hoses can include wire support for vacuum resistance or inserted metal parts for charge points or for attachment.
