Description
This premium PVC hose with galvanised steel spiral is designed for the safe delivery of liquids and air, offering outstanding flexibility and crush resistance in demanding environments. The clear, reinforced PVC construction allows easy visual inspection of contents, while the embedded steel spiral provides excellent resistance to kinking and collapse under suction or external pressure.
Suitable for food contact applications, this hose is ideal for use in food and drink processing, dairies, breweries, laboratories and general industrial environments where hygiene and durability are essential. Available in a choice of outside/inside diameters from 10 mm to 27 mm and coil lengths from 5 m to 20 m, it can be matched precisely to your equipment and installation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this hose suitable for use with food and drinking water?
Yes, the hose is manufactured from PVC suitable for food contact, making it appropriate for use with potable water and many food-grade liquids. Always verify compatibility with your specific product and process conditions.
Can the hose be used for suction as well as delivery?
Yes, the embedded galvanised steel spiral provides excellent resistance to collapse under vacuum, so the hose can be used for both suction and delivery within its stated pressure limits.
How do I choose the correct hose size and coil length?
Select the outside/inside diameter that matches your existing fittings and required flow rate, then choose a coil length that comfortably covers the distance between connection points with minimal tension or sharp bends. If in doubt, allow a small extra length for routing around obstacles.
