Description
This premium high-performance food-grade PVC hose with steel spiral reinforcement is designed for the reliable suction and delivery of liquids in demanding environments. Manufactured from flexible, clear PVC and reinforced with an embedded steel helix, it combines excellent visibility of contents with the strength needed to handle both suction and discharge applications.
Suitable for use in food and beverage processing, agriculture, water treatment and general industrial liquid transfer, this hose offers a hygienic, smooth bore for efficient flow and easy cleaning. Available in a wide range of diameters and coil lengths, it provides a versatile solution for permanent installations and mobile equipment alike.
Product Features
- Food-grade clear PVC construction for visual inspection of liquid flow and hygiene-critical applications.
- Integrated steel spiral reinforcement for excellent crush resistance and vacuum performance.
- Wide range of outside/inside diameters from 28 mm, 35.5 mm, 40.5 mm, 42.5 mm, 47 mm plus 13 additional size options to suit different pipework and couplings.
- Multiple coil lengths available, including 19 m, 25 m, 30 m, 32 m and 35 m, with 13 further length options to minimise joints and wastage.
- Option for different pressure and vacuum performance ratings (e.g. 60, 30, 20) to match system requirements and safety margins.
- Smooth internal bore to reduce pressure loss and help prevent residue build-up.
- Flexible yet robust hose wall for easy handling, coiling and installation around plant and equipment.
Key Features and Benefits
- Suitable for food contact applications, supporting compliance with hygiene standards in processing, bottling and filling lines.
- Steel spiral reinforcement helps the hose maintain shape under suction, reducing the risk of kinking or collapse and protecting pumps.
- Transparent wall allows quick visual checks for contamination, air pockets or blockages, cutting inspection time and downtime.
- Available in multiple diameters and coil lengths so you can closely match system layouts, reducing the need for connectors and potential leak points.
- Flexible PVC construction makes installation faster and easier, especially in tight plant rooms or around fixed machinery.
- Durable materials provide long service life in typical industrial environments, helping to minimise replacement and maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this PVC hose suitable for use with food and drink products?
Yes, the hose is manufactured from food-grade PVC, making it suitable for contact with many food and beverage products. Always check compatibility with the specific liquid, temperature and cleaning regime in your process before use.
Can this hose be used for both suction and delivery applications?
Yes, the integrated steel spiral reinforcement allows the hose to handle vacuum conditions for suction as well as positive pressure for delivery, within the stated performance limits for each size and rating option.
How do I choose the correct diameter and coil length?
Measure the outside diameter of your existing fittings or pipework and select the closest matching hose diameter from the available options. Then choose a coil length that covers the full run of hose you need, allowing a little extra for routing, bends and connection to equipment to minimise joints and potential leak points.
