Description
This premium lightweight and flexible TPU hose is designed for demanding industrial applications where durability, flexibility and safe material transfer are essential. Manufactured from tough thermoplastic polyurethane with a copper plated steel helix, it offers excellent abrasion resistance and structural integrity while remaining easy to handle on site or in the workshop.
Available in a broad range of diameters and coil lengths, this versatile hose is ideal for connection to machinery, extraction systems and material handling equipment in manufacturing, engineering, woodworking and processing environments. Its reinforced construction helps maintain shape under suction or low pressure, making it suitable for air, dust, light granules and general industrial ducting duties.
Product Features
- Constructed from high-quality thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) for enhanced abrasion and wear resistance.
- Copper plated steel helix reinforcement provides excellent crush resistance and hose stability under bending.
- Wide choice of outside/inside diameters, including 25.8 mm, 32.8 mm, 38.8 mm, 45.8 mm and 51.8 mm, plus many additional sizes to suit various plant and equipment.
- Multiple coil lengths available, including 25 m, 32 m, 38 m, 45 m and 51 m, along with an extended range of further length options.
- Offered with practical packaging/roll options of approximately 20 m, 15 m and 10 m to suit different installation requirements and storage constraints.
- Smooth internal bore helps promote efficient flow of air, dust and light materials with reduced pressure loss.
- Flexible wall and helix design allows tight bending radii for routing around machinery and confined spaces.
Key Features and Benefits
- Lightweight construction simplifies installation, reduces strain on connectors and facilitates frequent repositioning.
- High flexibility and tight bend capability make it ideal for complex routing without kinking or collapsing.
- Robust TPU and steel helix combination delivers long service life, reducing downtime and replacement costs.
- Good resistance to abrasion and mechanical stress makes it suitable for dust, chips and light granulate transfer.
- Multiple diameter and coil length options provide an efficient match to existing ducting systems and machinery outlets.
- Transparent-style wall (where specified) allows visual inspection of flow and blockages for easier maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the correct hose diameter for my equipment?
Measure the outside diameter of the pipe spigot or connector on your equipment and select the hose size with a compatible internal diameter. Where possible, match the hose bore closely to the machine outlet to maintain airflow and minimise pressure loss. If in doubt, check the equipment documentation or consult a technician for the recommended ducting size.
Can this TPU hose be used for high-pressure liquids or heavy abrasive materials?
This hose is primarily designed for air, dust, light fumes and light material conveying under suction or low-pressure conditions. It offers good abrasion resistance but is not intended for high-pressure liquid applications or very heavy, sharp materials. For such duties, a hose specifically rated for higher pressure and severe abrasion should be selected.
Can the hose be cut to shorter lengths on site?
Yes, the hose can typically be cut to shorter lengths using suitable cutting tools, taking care to cut cleanly through both the TPU wall and the steel helix. After cutting, ensure the end is smooth and free from sharp edges before fitting to connectors or clamps. Always follow appropriate safety procedures when cutting and installing hose assemblies.
