Description
This premium PVC hose with rigid spiral is designed specifically for the safe delivery and suction of food-grade liquids. Its flexible construction combined with a heavy-duty reinforcing spiral provides excellent resistance to vacuum, kinking and abrasion, making it a reliable choice for demanding transfer applications.
Widely used in food processing plants, dairies, beverage production, breweries and mobile tanker operations, this hose handles both suction and discharge duties with ease. Available in a broad range of diameters and coil lengths, it can be tailored to suit fixed installations, mobile equipment and temporary transfer lines alike.
Product Features
- Available in a wide selection of outside/inside diameters, including 24.6 mm, 26.2 mm, 31.6 mm, 39.2 mm, 45.4 mm and many more sizes to suit common coupling and pipework requirements.
- Supplied in multiple coil lengths such as 19 m, 20 m, 25 m, 32 m and 38 m, with further options to match both compact and extended runs.
- Premium flexible PVC hose body with a rigid embedded spiral for excellent crush and kink resistance during suction operations.
- Suitable for food liquid transfer and suction, including water, juices, milk, wine and other compatible food-grade products.
- Good abrasion resistance to withstand contact with pumps, fittings, floor surfaces and handling equipment.
- Lightweight construction compared with rubber alternatives, helping to reduce manual handling effort and installation time.
- Multiple pressure and vacuum performance options (including 50, 25 and 10 units of typical working vacuum/pressure classes) to match different duty requirements.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable suction and delivery performance: The rigid spiral reinforcement helps prevent collapse under vacuum, ensuring consistent flow during loading and unloading.
- Flexible and easy to route: Good bend radius and supple PVC construction allow the hose to be routed around equipment, corners and tight spaces without excessive force.
- Durable in busy production areas: Abrasion-resistant wall and tough spiral withstand dragging on floors and repeated connection to pumps, tanks and IBCs.
- Easy to clean and maintain: Smooth internal bore assists cleaning-in-place routines and helps to minimise product retention and blockages.
- Versatile sizing and length options: Extensive range of diameters and coils means a closer match to your existing fittings, reducing the need for adaptors and minimising waste.
- Cost-effective alternative to heavy hoses: Lightweight PVC design reduces strain on operators and equipment while still offering robust performance in food liquid applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this hose be used for both suction and delivery of food liquids?
Yes, the rigid spiral reinforcement makes the hose suitable for both suction and discharge duties, provided the selected size and duty rating (such as 50, 25 or 10) match your required operating conditions.
How do I choose the correct diameter and coil length?
Match the hose inside diameter to your existing pipework or fittings to minimise restrictions and turbulence. Then select a coil length that covers your full run with a little extra for routing around obstacles, avoiding unnecessary joins where possible.
Is the hose suitable for hot liquids or cleaning chemicals?
The hose is intended for use with compatible food liquids within a typical ambient temperature range. For very hot products or aggressive cleaning chemicals, always check compatibility with PVC and confirm the operating temperature and chemical resistance before use.
