48R492 - Walter Surfox Replacement Fluid Hose 2mm x 4mm

Maintain Peak Performance with Genuine Surfox Components

The Walter 48-R-492 Replacement Tubing is a critical maintenance component designed specifically for Walter Surface Technologies' Surfox electrochemical weld cleaning systems. In the demanding environment of industrial metal finishing, the fluid delivery system of your weld cleaner is subjected to constant exposure to acidic electrolytes and mechanical stress. This replacement tubing is engineered to meet the exact specifications of the original equipment, ensuring that your Surfox machine continues to operate safely and efficiently.

Measuring 10.5 meters in length, this spool of tubing provides sufficient material to replace the main fluid lines in your system or to perform multiple smaller repairs as needed. The dimensions are precision-extruded to a 2mm inner diameter (ID) and a 4mm outer diameter (OD). These specific tolerances are vital for maintaining the correct seal at connection points and ensuring the pump system delivers the electrolyte solution at the calibrated flow rate. Using generic tubing with incorrect wall thickness or diameter can lead to leaks, pressure drops, or pump strain, compromising the cleaning results.

Chemical Resistance and Durability

One of the primary challenges in electrochemical cleaning is handling the electrolyte solutions, which are typically phosphoric acid-based. The 48-R-492 tubing is manufactured from high-grade, chemical-resistant materials that resist degradation, hardening, and clouding over time. Standard vinyl or PVC tubing found in hardware stores may not withstand the aggressive nature of weld cleaning fluids, leading to premature failure and potential safety hazards for the operator. By choosing this genuine Walter spare part, you ensure the integrity of the fluid path from the tank to the cleaning wand.

Installation and Maintenance

Replacing the tubing on a Surfox system is a straightforward maintenance task that can resolve common issues such as inconsistent fluid flow, air leaks, or visible wear. Over time, tubing can become kinked or clogged with crystallized electrolyte if the system is not flushed properly. Having a roll of 48-R-492 on hand allows maintenance teams to quickly swap out old lines, minimizing downtime and keeping production moving. The clear construction of the tube also aids in troubleshooting, allowing operators to visually confirm fluid presence and check for air bubbles in the line.
