Description
This premium PVC hose with steel spiral reinforcement is a robust, food-approved delivery hose designed for the safe transfer of liquids, powders and air. The integrated steel helix gives excellent crush resistance while maintaining flexibility, making it ideal for demanding industrial and commercial environments.
Suitable for use in food and beverage processing, general manufacturing, agriculture, workshops and plant hire, this clear, reinforced hose offers reliable performance where visibility of the media, ease of cleaning and compliance with hygiene requirements are essential.
Product Features
- Available in a wide range of outside/inside diameters, including 10 mm, 11 mm, 13.5 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm and additional larger sizes to suit different flow rates and connection types.
- Supplied in convenient coil lengths of 5 m, 6 m, 8 m, 10 m, 12 m and other popular lengths to minimise waste and simplify installation.
- Manufactured from high-quality, flexible PVC with an embedded steel spiral for excellent crush and kink resistance.
- Clear, transparent hose wall allows easy visual inspection of product flow and cleanliness.
- Designed for the conveyance of liquids, air and light granular materials in low to medium pressure applications.
- Food-contact PVC material formulated to meet relevant FDA requirements for suitable food-related applications.
- Good resistance to many common cleaning agents and process chemicals used in industrial and hygienic environments.
Key Features and Benefits
- Crush resistant construction: Steel spiral reinforcement helps the hose maintain shape under suction, traffic and bending, reducing downtime and replacement costs.
- Flexible and easy to route: PVC wall and helix design provide a tight bend radius, simplifying installation in confined spaces and around machinery.
- Hygienic and food-safe: Food-approved PVC is suitable for contact with many foodstuffs and potable water, supporting compliance in hygienic processing areas.
- Visual flow monitoring: Transparent wall lets operators quickly check flow, spot blockages and confirm cleaning effectiveness without disconnecting the line.
- Versatile performance: Suitable for both liquid and air delivery, reducing the need to stock multiple hose types across different applications.
- Multiple size and length options: Choice of diameters and coil lengths helps match system requirements, minimise pressure loss and reduce on-site cutting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this hose suitable for use with food and drinking water?
The hose is manufactured from a PVC compound formulated to meet relevant FDA food-contact requirements, making it suitable for many food-related applications and potable water where PVC hoses are permitted. Always check compatibility with your specific product and local regulations before use.
Can the hose be used for both suction and delivery duties?
Yes, the steel spiral reinforcement provides added rigidity and crush resistance, allowing the hose to be used for both suction and delivery in low to medium pressure systems, provided it is correctly sized and installed for the application.
How do I choose the correct diameter and coil length?
Select the inside diameter to match your fittings and required flow rate, taking into account any pressure drop limitations. Then choose a coil length that covers the run with minimal excess, allowing a little extra for routing around obstacles and making secure connections.
