Boeing Awards Contract to Titeflex Aerospace

Boeing has awarded two contracts to Titeflex Aerospace of Laconia, N.H., a manufacturer of fluid transfer hoses and assemblies, to supply AS1975 and AS4570 flex-rigid assemblies for its 777 platform.

The Titeflex hybrid assembly combines flex hose with multi-bend tube, which offers improved vibration dampening, ease of installation, and maintenance, says a company official. Constructed of extruded smoothbore conductive PTFE innercore and reinforced with Kevlar para-aramid braid, the lightweight 3,000 psi non-metallic aerospace hose assembly is qualified to AS1975.

“Field Return and Boeing Test Data clearly indicate Titeflex is the superior product, I am very excited to announce these contracts with Boeing,” states Graham Thomson, general manager, Titeflex Aerospace. “A combination of a product quality and competitive pricing plus a higher level of technical interaction with Boeing have been vital to winning this additional business.

Titeflex Aerospace fluid transfer assemblies are also currently onboard Boeing MD80, 717, 737, 747, 747-8, 757, 767 and 787 airplanes.
