Description
This premium flexible medium density polythene (MDPE) hose is designed for low pressure transfer of liquids and compatible chemicals in a wide variety of industrial, commercial and light-duty applications. Manufactured from quality MDPE, it offers a reliable balance of flexibility, toughness and chemical resistance for everyday fluid handling tasks.
Ideal for use in workshops, laboratories, production areas and on-site environments, this hose is supplied in convenient coil lengths and a choice of diameters to suit different flow rates and connection sizes. Its smooth bore helps maintain consistent flow, while the robust wall construction delivers dependable performance in low pressure systems.
Product Features
- Available outside/inside diameter options: 6 mm (pack of 2), 8 mm (pack of 2), 10 mm (pack of 2), and 12 mm single length for versatile connection to fittings and equipment.
- Supplied in practical coil lengths of 4 m, 5 m, 6 m, 8 m, 9 m or 10 m to match project sizes and reduce waste.
- Optional 30 m coil length for larger installations or continuous runs where longer hose lengths are required.
- Manufactured from medium density polythene (MDPE) for an excellent combination of flexibility and structural strength.
- Designed for low pressure transfer of water, compatible chemicals and general-purpose liquids.
- Smooth internal bore helps minimise pressure loss and promotes efficient, consistent flow.
- Lightweight construction for easy handling, routing and installation in confined or complex layouts.
Key Features and Benefits
- Flexible MDPE construction allows easy routing around machinery, corners and tight spaces without kinking under normal low pressure use.
- Chemical and liquid resistance supports a broad range of fluid handling tasks, helping to reduce the risk of hose degradation and leaks.
- Multiple diameter and coil length options make it simple to match the hose to existing systems, reducing the need for adaptors and cuts.
- Lightweight hose is quick to install and reposition, saving time during setup, maintenance and reconfiguration of equipment.
- Durable wall construction offers reliable performance in everyday service, helping to minimise downtime and replacement costs.
- Smooth bore aids easy flushing and cleaning, supporting good system hygiene where cleanliness is important.

- Temporary or semi-permanent connections for low pressure systems on construction and maintenance sites.
- General industrial, agricultural and horticultural applications requiring flexible low pressure hose runs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this MDPE hose suitable for drinking water applications?
The hose is manufactured from MDPE and is suitable for many general water transfer tasks; however, suitability for drinking water depends on local regulations and specific approvals. Always check the product data and any required certifications before using in potable water systems.
Can this hose be used with all types of chemicals?
No, not all chemicals are compatible with MDPE. While the hose is resistant to many common industrial and laboratory liquids, you should always check a chemical compatibility chart for MDPE or consult a specialist with details of the chemicals, concentration and temperature before use.
How do I choose the correct diameter and coil length for my application?
Select the hose diameter to match your existing fittings and desired flow rate, choosing from 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm or 12 mm. Then choose a coil length that closely matches the required run, using the shorter coils (4–10 m) for smaller installations or the 30 m option for longer, continuous runs that can be cut to length on site.
