JINOX Pipe (Light gauge stainless steel tube for ordinary piping JIS G 3448 TPD-A-HT) is a light gauge stainless steel tube for ordinary piping and compatible with our mechanical joints for stainless steel piping systems.

Light gauge stainless steel tubes for ordinary piping succeeded in reducing the production cost by making it thinner (almost 1/3) than conventional stainless pipes.

Despite its thin wall, the light gauge stainless steel tubes are not only highly resistant to corrosion and shock but also hygienic and able to reduce the total weight of the piping system. Especially, our JINOX pipe has a superior resistance to corrosion by applying solution heat treatment, in addition to the necessary processes to meet the Japanese Industrial standard. It is well-suited to our mechanical joints.

As it meets the criteria for the ordinary buildings, JINOX pipe has been used mainly for the water supply, hot water supply, and air conditioning systems in houses, apartments and office buildings. Recently, demand for piping systems in industrial plants are increasing.

» Corrosion Resistance

Stainless steel tubes are highly resistant to corrosion and related issues, such as tubercles often formed in conventional zinc-plated iron tubes. Those tubercles obstruct the water flow. However, Benkan's SU pipe is free from such problems, and its corrosion resistance is enhanced by applying solution heat treatment, which is an extra process not included in the Japanese Stainless standard (based on the results of our experiments).

» Shock Resistance

Stainless steel tubes also have a high resistance to shocks which is almost twice as tough as zinc-plated iron tubes and three times as tough as copper tubes. Therefore, nothing to worry about the pipe breakage at construction sites.

» High Hygiene

Stailess steel has been adopted into the kitchen equipments, Food industries, dairy farming industries and medical equipments for many years . This proves enough hygiene safety. Different from galvanized iron tube, stainless steel tube will not generate rusty-water neither green-water.

» Light Piping System

Based on the advantages of stainless steel, enabled 1/3 of wall thickness than zinc-plated iron tubes. This feature minimizes its weight which enables easy transportation and installment.

*The weight is per unit (4m)
