A flanged metallic exhaust hose with a wire mesh wrap is a specialized flexible connector designed for high-temperature exhaust systems where both flexibility and mechanical protection are paramount. It features a corrugated inner core, constructed from heat-resistant stainless steel, which is externally reinforced by a layer of tightly wrapped or interlocked metal wire mesh.

This unique wire mesh wrap, often configured in a diamond or chain-link pattern, provides crucial 360-degree mechanical protection against abrasion, impact, and crushing forces. Unlike a braided sleeve, the wrap offers greater flexibility in specific directions and is highly effective at shielding the corrugated core from physical damage in congested or harsh environments. The flanged ends ensure a secure, leak-tight connection to the rigid ductwork.

This design is ideal for applications such as industrial furnace exhaust, power generation, and marine engine systems, where the hose may be exposed to potential physical contact, debris, or other external hazards, in addition to high temperatures and thermal movement.
