Gates Data Master Megaflex
Gates Data Master™ MegaFlex™ Cooling Hose
Overview:
The Gates Data Master™ MegaFlex™ Cooling Hose is a next-generation large-diameter hose designed to meet the high-flow cooling demands of hyperscale and enterprise Data Centers. Featuring Gates’ proprietary MegaFlex™ corrugated design and a zinc-free, peroxide-cured EPDM tube, this hose delivers exceptional flexibility, superior coolant compatibility, and long-term reliability under continuous service. Its advanced construction minimizes kinking and ensures consistent performance in large-scale coolant distribution systems where uptime and fluid cleanliness are critical.
Key Technical Advantages:
Zinc-Free, Peroxide-Cured EPDM Tube: Maintains coolant purity and prevents contamination caused by metal leaching.
MegaFlex™ Corrugated Cover: Enhances flexibility and allows a tighter bend radius — up to 75% smaller than traditional supply hoses.
Flame-Resistant Construction: Certified to UL 94 V-0 and UL 224 VW-1 standards for safety in electronic equipment environments.
High Flow Capacity: Available in larger diameters (up to 2 in / 50.8 mm) to accommodate increased coolant volume in high-density cooling loops.
Ozone and Weather Resistance: Resists degradation from ozone exposure and ambient heat common in Data Center mechanical spaces.
Wide Temperature Range: Operates from –40 °C to +100 °C (–40 °F to +212 °F) without loss of flexibility or integrity.
Versatile Coupling Compatibility: Works with large-ID quick-connect couplings, sanitary flanges, or clamped fittings for secure installation.
Data-Center Application Focus:
Engineered for the most demanding Data Center cooling applications, the Gates Data Master™ MegaFlex™ Hose supports large-volume liquid-cooling circuits, CDUs, and chiller connections. Its corrugated construction improves maneuverability for field routing while maintaining full flow performance under pressure. The zinc-free EPDM tube ensures coolant cleanliness and long-term chemical stability, reducing maintenance and system fouling. With superior flexibility, flame resistance, and large-diameter flow capability, the Data Master™ MegaFlex™ Cooling Hose sets a new standard for reliability and performance in OCP-compliant liquid-cooling systems.
