Description
This premium flexible medium density polythene (MDPE) hose is designed for low pressure transfer applications where durability and chemical resistance are essential. Manufactured from robust MDPE, it provides a reliable solution for conveying a wide range of fluids in industrial, commercial and light agricultural environments.
Available in a choice of diameters and coil lengths, this hose is ideal for installations where easy handling, flexibility and dependable performance are required. It is commonly used for water distribution, light chemical transfer, dosing lines and general service duties in workshops, plants and facilities.
Product Features
- Constructed from medium density polythene (MDPE) for excellent balance of flexibility and strength.
- Available outside/inside diameter options of 3" and 1" to suit different flow and connection requirements.
- Supplied in convenient coil lengths of 2 m, 4 m, 8 m and 16 m to accommodate both short runs and longer installations.
- Wall thickness/pressure option range including 0.117", 0.157", 0.25" and 0.375" to match specific duty and robustness needs.
- Smooth internal bore to help minimise pressure drop and promote efficient flow.
- Flexible construction for easy routing around obstacles and tight spaces.
- Suitable for a wide range of low pressure water and compatible chemical applications.
Key Features and Benefits
- Good chemical resistance helps safeguard against degradation when used with many common industrial fluids and process chemicals.
- Flexible MDPE structure allows straightforward installation, reducing labour time when pulling through conduits or around corners.
- Choice of diameters and wall thicknesses enables closer matching of hose performance to system pressure and flow requirements.
- Lightweight coils are easy to transport, handle and store on site, improving practicality for mobile or temporary setups.
- Smooth inner surface assists in maintaining consistent flow and can reduce the risk of sediment build-up over time.
- Durable construction offers long service life under typical low pressure operating conditions, supporting predictable maintenance planning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this MDPE hose suitable for high pressure applications?
No, this hose is intended for low pressure duties only. For high pressure systems, a hose specifically rated and tested for higher pressures should be used.
Can the hose be used with any chemical?
The hose offers good chemical resistance to many common fluids, but not all chemicals will be suitable. Always consult chemical compatibility information and test on a small scale if in doubt before full-scale use.
How do I choose the right diameter and wall thickness?
Select the diameter based on the required flow rate and the size of your fittings, and choose the wall thickness according to the maximum operating pressure and any mechanical demands such as abrasion or handling. If unsure, consult your system designer or engineer for guidance.
