Description
This premium flexible nylon hose is manufactured from high-performance Polyamide 12, offering an excellent balance of flexibility, strength and durability. Designed for demanding industrial, automotive and engineering environments, it is ideal for transporting air, fluids or granular materials where reliability and long service life are essential.
With a wide choice of outside and inside diameters and multiple coil length options, this hose can be closely matched to your system requirements, from compact installations to extended runs. Its outstanding abrasion resistance and kink-resistant construction make it particularly suited to applications involving repeated movement, tight routing and exposure to challenging operating conditions.
Product Features
- Manufactured from high-performance Polyamide 12 (nylon) for strength, flexibility and chemical resistance.
- Available in a choice of outside/inside diameters around the 1", 3" and 5" size range to suit a variety of flow rates and connection types.
- Multiple coil length options, including short coils of approximately 2–4 m up to extended coils around 16–32 m for longer installations.
- Supplied in a range of colours, from fine translucent and natural shades to various opaque tints, helping with line identification and zoning.
- Flexible wall construction resists kinking while maintaining a smooth internal bore for efficient flow and reduced pressure drop.
- Durable outer surface provides excellent abrasion resistance when routed through cable trays, machine frames or moving assemblies.
- Compatible with standard hose tails, push-in fittings and clamps for straightforward integration into new or existing systems.
Key Features and Benefits
- High flexibility: Ideal for tight bends and compact routing, reducing the need for additional fittings and potential leak points.
- Excellent abrasion resistance: Withstands rubbing, vibration and repeated movement, helping to extend service life in dynamic applications.
- Lightweight yet robust: Easier to handle and install than many rubber or metal alternatives, without compromising on performance.
- Chemical and moisture resistance: Polyamide 12 offers good resistance to oils, fuels and many industrial fluids, supporting reliable use in harsh environments.
- Wide size and length range: Enables close matching to system requirements, improving flow efficiency and optimising space usage.
- Neat, professional appearance: Colour options help segregate services and clearly identify different lines for maintenance and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this nylon hose be used with compressed air systems?
Yes, this Polyamide 12 hose is well suited to many compressed air applications, particularly where flexibility and abrasion resistance are required. Always ensure the hose size and pressure rating are suitable for your specific system and operating temperature.
How do I choose the correct diameter and coil length?
Select the inside diameter based on the required flow rate and the fittings you plan to use, and choose the outside diameter to match your clips or clamps. Coil length should allow for the full routing path plus a small allowance for bends and connections, avoiding excessive tension or stretching.
Is this hose resistant to oils and chemicals?
Polyamide 12 offers good resistance to many oils, fuels and industrial fluids, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications. However, chemical resistance varies, so it is important to check compatibility with the specific medium, concentration and temperature before use.
