Description
This premium lightweight medium duty suction hose is designed for reliable transfer of liquids and light slurries in demanding industrial and commercial environments. Engineered with a smooth bore for optimal flow, it offers consistent performance and reduced pressure loss across a wide range of pumping and extraction applications.
With excellent chemical resistance and a choice of outside/inside diameters from 31.8 mm up to 113 mm, this flexible hose is ideal for use in agriculture, construction, manufacturing, chemical handling and general fluid management. Supplied in a variety of coil lengths to suit permanent installations or mobile setups, it provides a practical, durable solution where dependable suction and delivery are required.
Product Features
- Available in a range of outside/inside diameters including 31.8 mm, 39 mm, 45.8 mm, 60.2 mm, 73.1 mm, 86 mm and 113 mm to match common coupling and pipework sizes.
- Supplied in multiple coil lengths such as 25.4 m, 32 m, 38 m, 51.6 m, 63.5 m, 76 m and 102 m for flexible installation and reduced jointing.
- Medium duty construction offering an excellent balance between strength, durability and low overall hose weight.
- Smooth bore design to minimise friction loss, enhance flow rates and reduce the risk of residue build-up.
- Formulated for high chemical resistance, suitable for many acids, alkalis, fertilisers and cleaning agents (check compatibility before use).
- Flexible wall and helix structure for easy handling, routing and connection in confined or complex layouts.
- Option of different wall/helix configurations to suit general-purpose suction or more demanding transfer tasks.
Key Features and Benefits
- Lightweight medium duty design reduces strain on operators and equipment, making installation and repositioning quicker and safer.
- High chemical resistance helps protect the hose from premature degradation, extending service life in challenging environments.
- Smooth internal bore promotes efficient product transfer, helping to maintain pump performance and reduce energy consumption.
- Wide diameter and coil length options simplify system design and allow a close match to existing pipework and plant layouts.
- Flexible yet robust construction resists kinking, crushing and abrasion under normal working conditions.
- Low-maintenance performance, with a bore that is easier to flush and clean between different media or batches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this suction hose be used with any type of chemical?
The hose offers high chemical resistance, but it is not suitable for every chemical. Always check compatibility against the specific chemical, concentration and operating temperature before use, and consult relevant chemical resistance data where available.
Is the hose suitable for both suction and discharge applications?
Yes, the hose is designed for medium duty suction and delivery tasks. It can be used on the suction side of pumps as well as for discharge, provided operating pressures and conditions remain within the recommended limits for this type of hose.
How do I choose the correct hose diameter and coil length?
Select the outside/inside diameter that matches your pump ports, couplings or existing pipework, and choose a coil length that covers the full run with minimal joints. If in doubt, measure the connection sizes carefully and allow a small margin for routing around obstacles or bends.
