Lenovo Hose Set, 1 inch EPDM, 2.3m, for 38 Ports Manifold for in-row CDU

The Lenovo Hose Set is a purpose-built connection solution for in-row cooling deployment, designed to streamline installation and maximize reliability in data center environments. Crafted from Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber, this hose delivers outstanding resistance to heat, ozone, aging, and coolant chemicals, making it an ideal choice for demanding cooling loops. With a precise 1-inch inner diameter and a generous 2.3-meter length, this hose supports flexible routing across rows and around tight corners in dense cabinets while maintaining robust flow characteristics. Specifically engineered to work with 38-port manifolds in in-row CDU configurations, it helps technicians achieve clean layouts, low pressure drops, and secure, leak-free connections. Whether you're upgrading an existing CDU installation or building a new cooling network, the Lenovo Hose Set offers a durable, high-performance link between manifold outlets and CDU inlets that stands up to the rigors of continuous operation.

• Durable EPDM construction for long-term reliability: The hose uses Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer rubber, renowned for excellent resistance to heat, ozone, weathering, and chemical exposure typical in data center coolant loops. This means fewer replacements, reduced maintenance costs, and sustained cooling performance over the life of your installation. The material choice is designed to withstand the thermal cycling and environmental challenges found in modern in-row CDU systems.
• Precise dimensions for dependable fit and routing: With a 1-inch inner diameter and a length of 2.3 meters (90.55 inches), this hose fits standard fittings and supports flexible routing through racks and corridors. The length provides enough reach to connect the 38-port manifold to the in-row CDU without excessive slack, while still allowing tidy management of hoses and cables. This combination minimizes installation time and helps ensure a clean, professional look in your data hall.
• 38-port manifold compatibility for scalable cooling: Engineered to complement 38-port manifolds, the Lenovo Hose Set enables efficient distribution of coolant across multiple channels in an in-row CDU setup. The consistent inner diameter and robust clamping surfaces help maintain uniform flow, reduce pressure fluctuations, and support reliable performance across all connected ports. This makes it a solid choice for mid- to large-scale cooling configurations where multiple rows share a common manifold.
• Flexible performance with strong kink resistance: The EPDM hose balances flexibility with rigidity to resist kinking while negotiating tight bends and confined spaces typical of rack- and cabinet-mounted installations. The result is a smoother coolant path, fewer flow disturbances, and improved overall hydraulic efficiency. Its abrasion resistance also helps protect against wear from contact with edges or mounting hardware over time.
• OEM-compatible, secure connections: Designed to integrate seamlessly with Lenovo in-row CDU components and common fittings, clamps, and adapters, this hose set helps technicians achieve a secure, leak-free seal. The combination of correct diameter, material compatibility, and reliable fittings supports consistent performance, easier maintenance, and peace of mind in high-demand environments where uptime is critical.

how to install Lenovo Hose Set

• Before starting, verify you have the correct hose specifications: 1 inch inner diameter and 2.3 meters in length, intended for a 38-port manifold within an in-row CDU configuration. Confirm that connectors, clamps, and fittings are compatible with the hose ends and the manifold ports to ensure a secure, leak-free installation.
• Shutdown and depressurize the cooling loop: Power down related equipment and relieve system pressure according to your facility’s procedures. Inspect the existing fittings and manifolds for cleanliness and integrity to prevent contaminants from entering the system during connection.
• Prepare and plan routing: Map the hose path to minimize sharp bends and avoid contact with hot surfaces or abrasive edges. Use appropriate supports, conduit, or clips to keep the hose aligned and out of the way of moving components, ensuring a smooth, continuous flow path with an adequate bend radius.
• Attach one end to the manifold inlet: Secure the hose end to the designated port on the 38-port manifold using the recommended clamps or fittings. Ensure a snug, even grip across the entire hose circumference, avoiding overtightening that could damage the hose or fittings while maintaining a leak-free seal.
• Connect the opposite end and perform a leak test: Attach the other hose end to the corresponding in-row CDU inlet or outlet, make any final clamps secure, then re-pressurize the system. Conduct a controlled leak test and a pressure check to confirm seals hold under operating conditions, watching for drips, seepage, or bulges along the hose length.
