Description
This premium heavy duty PVC hose is designed for demanding food-related applications where durability, hygiene and flexibility are essential. Constructed from high-quality PVC with an embedded steel spiral reinforcement, it provides excellent resistance to crushing and kinking while maintaining a smooth internal bore for efficient product flow.
Suitable for use within a temperature range of -5°C to +65°C, this versatile hose is ideal for food processing plants, dairies, beverage production lines and general industrial environments handling foodstuffs and potable liquids. A wide choice of diameters and coil lengths allows you to match the hose precisely to your transfer, suction or discharge requirements.
Product Features
- Heavy duty PVC hose construction with integrated steel spiral reinforcement for added strength and crush resistance.
- Available in multiple outside/inside diameter options, including 28 mm, 35.5 mm, 40.5 mm, 42.5 mm and 51 mm, plus a wide range of additional sizes.
- Supplied in convenient coil lengths of 19 m, 25 m, 30 m, 32 m and 38 m, with further length options to suit different installation layouts.
- Working temperature range from -5°C to +65°C, suitable for chilled, ambient and moderately warm food products.
- Flexible yet robust wall design helps prevent kinks while allowing easy routing around machinery and equipment.
- Transparent PVC wall enables visual inspection of product flow to aid hygiene checks and process monitoring.
- Various pressure performance options (e.g. 60, 30, 20) to match different suction and discharge duties.
Key Features and Benefits
- Steel spiral reinforcement significantly improves resistance to vacuum collapse and crushing, extending hose service life in busy production environments.
- Smooth internal bore assists with efficient transfer of liquids and semi-liquids, helping to minimise product retention and ease cleaning.
- Temperature capability of -5°C to +65°C covers a wide range of typical food and beverage processing conditions.
- Multiple diameter and coil length options enable precise sizing, reducing waste, minimising pressure drops and simplifying installation.
- Lightweight, flexible hose is easier to handle during installation and changeovers compared with rigid pipework, helping to reduce downtime.
- Transparent wall construction allows quick visual checks for contamination, blockages or air pockets, supporting good hygiene practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this hose suitable for use with hot liquids above 65°C?
No, this hose is designed for operation within a temperature range of -5°C to +65°C. For applications involving higher temperatures, a hose specifically rated for hotter media should be selected.
Can I cut the hose to shorter lengths on site?
Yes, the hose can be cut to shorter lengths using appropriate cutting tools, taking care to ensure a clean, square cut. After cutting, ensure that any fittings or clamps used are compatible with the selected hose diameter.
Is this hose suitable for vacuum suction applications?
Yes, the integrated steel spiral reinforcement provides good resistance to vacuum and collapse, making the hose suitable for many suction duties. Always check the specific pressure rating (such as 60, 30 or 20) against the requirements of your application.
