Description
This premium flexible high density polythene (HDPE) natural hose is designed for low pressure transfer applications where reliable performance and excellent chemical resistance are essential. Manufactured from high quality HDPE, it provides a durable yet lightweight solution for conveying a wide range of liquids in laboratory, process, maintenance and light industrial environments.
With a naturally translucent finish for easy visual inspection of flow, this hose is ideal for use in systems handling water, mild chemicals and cleaning solutions. Available in a choice of outside and inside diameters and coil lengths, it offers a practical, versatile option for installations where flexibility, easy routing and resistance to chemical attack are key.
Product Features
- Manufactured from flexible high density polythene (HDPE) for strength and durability in low pressure applications.
- Natural, translucent hose wall allows visual checking of contents and flow conditions.
- Available in outside/inside diameter combinations of 3 inch and 1 inch to suit common connection sizes.
- Supplied in convenient coil lengths of approximately 8 inches and 2 inches for shorter run requirements and custom assemblies.
- Additional sizing options of 0.25 inch and 0.375 inch support more precise connections and compact installations.
- Smooth internal bore helps minimise pressure drop and reduces the risk of residue build-up.
- Lightweight construction for easy handling, cutting and installation on site.
Key Features and Benefits
- Excellent chemical resistance helps protect against degradation when used with a wide range of compatible low pressure fluids and cleaning agents.
- Flexible HDPE construction allows simple routing around obstacles, reducing the need for additional fittings and joints.
- Natural translucent finish enables quick visual inspection to help identify blockages, air pockets or contamination.
- Range of diameters and coil lengths makes it easy to match hose size to equipment in laboratories, workshops and process areas.
- Durable material with good abrasion and impact resistance offers long service life under normal operating conditions.
- Easy to cut to length using standard tools, allowing users to create tailored hose assemblies on demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this HDPE hose suitable for high pressure applications?
No, this hose is designed specifically for low pressure duties. For higher pressure systems you should select a hose constructed and rated for the required operating pressure.
Can the hose be used with any chemical or solvent?
The hose offers excellent resistance to many common chemicals, but compatibility is not universal. Always check the chemical compatibility of HDPE with your specific fluid and operating temperature before use.
How can I cut and install the hose to the required length?
The hose can be cut cleanly using a sharp knife or appropriate hose cutter. Measure the required length, cut squarely for a good seal and secure onto suitably sized barbed or hose tail fittings using appropriate clamps for the application.
