Description
This premium flexible nylon metric hose is designed for demanding industrial, automotive and workshop environments where durability, low weight and ease of handling are essential. Manufactured from robust nylon, it offers excellent resistance to abrasion and wear, helping to deliver reliable performance in both fixed and mobile installations.
Supplied in a range of popular metric sizes and coil lengths, this versatile hose is ideal for air, fluid and cable protection applications. Its flexible yet stable construction allows tight routing in confined spaces, making it a practical choice for use on production lines, in maintenance areas, and across general engineering settings.
Product Features
- Available outside/inside diameters: 18 mm, 20 mm, 22 mm, 25 mm and 28 mm for a wide range of flow and routing requirements.
- Supplied in convenient coil lengths of 14 m, 16 m, 17 m, 18 m, 20 m and 22 m to suit both small projects and larger installations.
- Manufactured from high-quality flexible nylon for an excellent balance of strength, toughness and low weight.
- Consistent metric sizing for straightforward compatibility with standard hose fittings, couplings and clips.
- Flexible wall construction allows easy bending and routing around obstacles without kinking under normal installation conditions.
- Smooth internal bore helps maintain efficient flow and reduces pressure drop in air and fluid transfer applications.
- Resistant to many common workshop oils, greases and cleaning agents for longer service life in industrial environments.
Key Features and Benefits
- Lightweight yet robust design makes the hose easy to handle, transport and install, even in overhead or awkward locations.
- Good abrasion resistance helps protect against wear caused by contact with machinery, flooring and other equipment, reducing replacement frequency.
- Flexible nylon construction supports tight bend radii, allowing neat routing in confined spaces and helping to keep work areas tidy.
- Range of diameters and coil lengths enables efficient stockholding and specification across different machines and systems.
- Smooth internal surface promotes reliable, consistent flow in pneumatic and low-pressure fluid applications, supporting system performance.
- Durable material reduces downtime and maintenance costs over time compared with less robust hose types.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this flexible nylon hose be used with standard metric fittings?
Yes, the hose is produced in common metric outside and inside diameters, making it compatible with most standard metric hose tails, push-fit connectors, clamps and couplings of the appropriate size. Always check the fitting manufacturer’s recommendations and ensure the selected diameter matches your fittings.
Is the hose suitable for use with compressed air systems?
The hose is commonly used for pneumatic and compressed air applications in workshops and light industrial environments. However, you should confirm that the operating pressure, temperature and media in your system are within the limits recommended for flexible nylon hose, and follow any relevant safety and installation guidelines.
Can the hose be cut to shorter lengths from the coil?
Yes, the hose can be cut from the supplied coil to the required length using a suitable cutting tool that provides a clean, straight edge. After cutting, ensure that all ends are properly deburred and securely connected with the correct fittings and clamps to maintain a safe, leak-free installation.
