Description
This premium flexible PVC hose is designed for low-pressure conveying of food and drink products, offering a safe, reliable and hygienic transfer solution. Manufactured from high-quality flexible PVC, it provides a smooth bore for efficient flow and easy cleaning in food processing, catering and beverage applications.
Available in a wide range of inside and outside diameters and coil lengths, this hose is ideal for use in dairies, breweries, soft drink production, mobile catering and general food handling. Its broad operating temperature range from -15°C to +60°C and excellent flexibility make it suitable for both static and mobile installations where frequent movement or repositioning is required.
Product Features
- Flexible PVC construction for low-pressure food and drink conveyance.
- Available inside/outside diameters from 3/4 mm, 5/6 mm, 7 mm and many larger sizes to suit a wide range of equipment connections.
- Multiple coil lengths including 1.5 m, 2.5 m, 3 m, 4 m, 5 m and many additional options for tailored installations.
- Temperature operating range from -15°C to +60°C for chilled, ambient and moderately warm products.
- High clarity option (typically coded as colour 100) for visual flow inspection and product identification.
- Alternative coloured option (typically coded as colour 30) to aid line coding or prevent light ingress where required.
- Smooth internal bore for consistent flow and reduced risk of residue build-up.
Key Features and Benefits
- Highly flexible hose design allows tight bend radii, simplifying routing in confined spaces and around machinery.
- Smooth, non-tainting PVC bore supports hygienic handling of compatible food and beverage products.
- Wide selection of diameters and coil lengths reduces the need for cutting and joints, helping to minimise potential leak points.
- Broad temperature range from -15°C to +60°C offers versatility for both chilled storage areas and warmer process environments.
- Lightweight construction makes installation, repositioning and maintenance quicker and less labour-intensive.
- Durable PVC resists many common cleaning agents and process environments, supporting long service life under normal conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this hose suitable for high-pressure applications or compressed air?
No, this hose is designed for low-pressure liquid conveyance only. It is not suitable for high-pressure systems or for use with compressed air or gases. Always check the system pressure and ensure a suitable safety margin when selecting hose.
Can the hose be used with hot liquids above 60°C?
No, the recommended operating temperature range is -15°C to +60°C. Using the hose above 60°C may cause softening, reduced service life or failure. For higher temperature applications, a hose specifically rated for elevated temperatures should be chosen.
How do I choose the correct size and coil length for my installation?
Measure the outside diameter of the fittings the hose will connect to and select the nearest compatible inside diameter option for a secure fit. Then measure the full routing distance, allowing for bends and fixing points, and choose the next available coil length above your measured requirement so you have some allowance for trimming and adjustments.
