When it comes to handling aggressive chemicals in the most demanding applications, having the right hose is critical to safety, efficiency, and equipment longevity. While Continental has standardized its XLPE chemical hose lineup with the ChemOne hose and discontinued stocking Viper Chemical Hose, Summers Rubber remains one of the only stocking distributors in the U.S. to recognize and supply the Viper Chemical Hose for customers who need a more rugged, heavy-duty option.

Why Choose Continental Viper Chemical Hose?

The Continental Viper Chemical Hose is designed for rigorous chemical transfer applications, offering a heavier construction than standard chemical hoses like ChemOne. While the ChemOne hose meets general chemical transfer needs, the Viper hose provides superior durability and resistance, making it the go-to choice for industries that require a stronger, more robust solution.

Key Advantages of the Viper Chemical Hose

  • Thicker, Heavier Construction – Designed to withstand high-stress applications where standard hoses may fail.
  • Superior Chemical Resistance – Handles 98% of all known chemicals, making it ideal for a broad range of chemical processing and transport needs.
  • Enhanced Durability – The reinforced construction extends service life, reducing replacement frequency and maintenance costs.
  • Abrasion and Ozone Resistance – Suitable for outdoor and high-wear applications, ensuring long-term reliability.

Why Did Continental Standardize with ChemOne?

Continental streamlined its chemical hose product line by making ChemOne the standard stocking XLPE hose due to its versatility and lighter construction. While ChemOne is an excellent solution for general chemical transfer, it does not match the heavy-duty capabilities of the Viper hose in certain applications.

Recognizing the need for a more robust chemical transfer hose, Summers Rubber continues to stock the Continental Viper Chemical Hose, ensuring that customers still have access to the heavier construction and superior performance required for high-stress environments.


Industries That Benefit from Viper Chemical Hose

  • Chemical Processing Plants – Handles a wide range of aggressive chemicals safely.
  • Bulk Chemical Transport – Ideal for chemical tankers, railcars, and transfer stations.
  • Pharmaceutical and Biotech Manufacturing – Ensures secure handling of sensitive chemicals.
  • Petrochemical and Refining – Withstands exposure to corrosive fluids and harsh industrial conditions.
  • Food & Beverage Processing – Meets stringent handling requirements for chemical sanitation and ingredient transfer.
