Description
Product Overview
The 700203 Oil Hose is engineered specifically for the Cleanstar 1500C used cooking oil collection system, a critical component in high‑volume food‑service operations. Measuring five feet in length, this hose features a 1/2″ swivel fitting with NPT threading, a design choice that dramatically reduces the risk of leaks during continuous operation. Constructed from a premium chemical‑resistant polymer blend, the hose tolerates temperatures up to 200°F (93°C) and resists degradation from hot, greasy liquids, ensuring a long service life even in the most demanding kitchen environments.
Every unit is manufactured to Darling International’s rigorous quality standards and carries the OEM approval stamp, guaranteeing perfect compatibility with the Cleanstar 1500C system. The hose’s flexible yet sturdy construction allows for easy routing around equipment, while the reinforced braid layer prevents kinking and maintains consistent flow rates. Package dimensions of 13.86 x 12.52 x 1.61 inches and a lightweight 1.6‑pound build make storage and handling straightforward for facility managers.
Usage
This oil hose excels in a variety of industrial and commercial settings. In large restaurant kitchens, it connects the deep‑fat fryer to the oil filtration and storage unit, capturing used oil for recycling or safe disposal. The swivel NPT fitting simplifies connection to the Cleanstar 1500C’s collection tank, allowing technicians to quickly replace or service the hose without shutting down the entire cooking line.
Beyond food‑service, the hose is suitable for any application that requires the transport of hot, viscous liquids, such as in food‑processing plants, cafeteria service lines, and even certain chemical handling scenarios where a chemical‑resistant hose is mandated. Its 5‑foot length provides enough reach to bridge gaps between equipment while remaining compact enough to fit within tight service aisles.
Maintenance crews appreciate the hose’s ease of inspection; the transparent outer layer reveals any signs of wear, abrasion, or buildup, enabling proactive replacement before a failure occurs. The hose’s compatibility with standard cleaning agents means it can be flushed regularly to maintain optimal flow and hygiene standards.

FAQ
What size hose do I need for a Cleanstar 1500C system?
The Cleanstar 1500C system is designed to work with a 5‑foot oil hose that has a 1/2″ swivel fitting with NPT threading. The 700203 model matches these specifications exactly, ensuring a proper fit without the need for additional adapters.
Can this hose handle hot oil temperatures?
Yes. The hose is rated for temperatures up to 200°F (93°C), making it suitable for transporting hot, used cooking oil directly from fryers to collection tanks. Its chemical‑resistant material also protects against degradation from oil and cleaning agents.
Is the hose compatible with other oil collection systems?
While the 700203 hose is optimized for the Cleanstar 1500C, its 1/2″ swivel NPT fitting is a common standard in many commercial oil collection setups. However, always verify the fitting size and threading type of your specific system before purchase.
How do I maintain the hose to ensure longevity?
Regular inspection is key. Look for signs of wear, cracks, or buildup on the outer surface. Periodic flushing with a mild detergent solution helps remove oil residues and prevents blockages. Replace the hose if any damage is observed to avoid leaks.
What warranty does Darling International provide?
Darling International offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and material failures under normal use conditions. Should a defect arise, contact our support team with the product details, and we will arrange a replacement or repair as appropriate.
