Description
This premium reinforced transparent PVC-P hose with steel spiral is a robust, food-safe transfer hose designed for demanding food and beverage applications. Combining flexible PVC-P with an embedded steel helix, it provides excellent resistance to vacuum and kinking while maintaining clarity for easy visual inspection of product flow.
Ideal for use in dairies, breweries, soft drink production, and general food processing, this hose is suitable for the transfer of liquids, syrups, and semi-viscous products. Available in a wide range of diameters and coil lengths, it can be tailored to suit everything from small-scale dispensing lines to larger process and transfer systems.
Product Features
- Available in multiple outside/inside diameters, including 12.2 mm, 14.2 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm, 20 mm and many additional sizes to suit different flow rates and connections.
- Supplied in convenient coil lengths of 6 m, 8 m, 10 m, 12 m, 14 m and numerous other lengths to match your installation and replacement needs.
- Reinforced with a high-strength steel spiral helix for enhanced resistance to vacuum, crushing, and kinking under suction or bending.
- Manufactured from flexible transparent PVC-P to allow clear visual monitoring of media flow and cleanliness.
- Designed for food and beverage transfer applications, with smooth internal bore to help minimise product retention and facilitate cleaning.
- Good balance of flexibility and durability, making it easy to route around equipment and tight plant layouts.
- Option for different performance ratings (e.g. working pressure or vacuum resistance levels such as 60, 30, 20) to match specific process requirements.
Key Features and Benefits
- Transparent construction enables quick visual checks for product quality, air bubbles, blockages, or contamination, supporting good hygiene practices.
- Steel spiral reinforcement delivers excellent mechanical strength, helping the hose maintain its profile under suction and reducing downtime from hose collapse.
- Flexible PVC-P body allows easy installation and routing around obstacles, reducing the need for complex pipework and rigid fittings.
- Smooth internal surface promotes steady flow and easier rinsing, helping to reduce product waste and cleaning times between batches.
- Wide choice of diameters and coil lengths makes it suitable for both new installations and straightforward like-for-like replacements.
- Durable construction offers reliable service in demanding production environments, helping to lower maintenance and replacement costs over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this hose be used for all types of food and beverage products?
The hose is designed for general food and beverage transfer and is suitable for many common liquids such as water, juices, soft drinks, and similar products. For particularly aggressive, hot, or high-fat media, or for specific regulatory requirements, please check compatibility and any applicable standards before use.
Is the hose flexible enough to route around tight corners and equipment?
Yes, the PVC-P construction provides good flexibility for routing around machinery and through confined spaces, while the steel spiral ensures it resists kinking and collapsing under normal operating conditions. Minimum bend radius will depend on the selected diameter.
How do I choose the correct diameter and coil length for my installation?
Select the inside diameter to match your existing fittings and desired flow rate, using common sizes such as 12.2 mm, 14.2 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm, or 20 mm where applicable. Choose a coil length, for example 6 m, 8 m, 10 m, 12 m, or 14 m, that comfortably covers the required run, allowing a little extra for routing and connections.
