Description
This premium thermoplastic rubber hose is designed for the safe transfer of air and acid vapours in demanding industrial environments. Constructed from high-grade thermoplastic rubber, it combines flexibility with outstanding mechanical strength, delivering a long-lasting solution for fume extraction, ventilation and light chemical vapour handling.
With excellent abrasion resistance and a smooth internal bore, this hose is ideal for use in factories, workshops, laboratories and process plants where reliable, leak-resistant ducting is essential. A wide range of diameters and coil lengths allows you to select the most suitable configuration for your installation, whether for fixed systems or mobile equipment.
Product Features
- Manufactured from robust thermoplastic rubber for air and acid vapours transport in industrial settings.
- Available in multiple inside/outside diameters including 46 mm, 51 mm, 56 mm, 66 mm, 69 mm and many additional size options.
- Supplied in a choice of coil lengths such as 40 m, 45 m, 50 m, 60 m, 63 m and a wide range of other lengths to suit different runs.
- Flexible construction allows easy routing around machinery, ducts and confined spaces without kinking.
- High abrasion resistance provides durability in applications with particulate-laden airflows and frequent handling.
- Lightweight design compared with traditional rubber hose for easier installation and repositioning.
- Options available for different wall thicknesses or duty ratings (including 30 and 15 options) to match performance requirements.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable performance with acid vapours: Thermoplastic rubber offers good resistance to many acid vapours, helping protect equipment and maintain a safer working environment when correctly specified.
- Long service life: High abrasion resistance and tough construction reduce wear from airflow, dust and light particulate contact, lowering replacement frequency.
- Flexible and easy to install: Excellent bendability simplifies routing over long distances and around obstacles, reducing the need for additional fittings or joints.
- Consistent airflow: A smooth internal surface helps minimise pressure loss and supports efficient extraction or ventilation performance.
- Versatile sizing: Broad selection of diameters and coils allows matching to existing ductwork, connectors and extraction systems for straightforward integration.
- Cost-effective handling solution: Lightweight hose reduces installation effort and handling time, especially on longer runs or overhead installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this hose suitable for all types of acids and chemical vapours?
The hose is designed for use with air and many common acid vapours, but it is not universally resistant to all chemicals. Always check chemical compatibility for your specific media, concentration and temperature before use, and consult your safety data information or technical guidance where necessary.
Can the hose be cut to shorter lengths on site?
Yes, the hose can typically be cut to shorter lengths using appropriate cutting tools, taking care to ensure a clean, square cut for good sealing with connectors or clamps. Always follow safe working practices and confirm that altered lengths still meet the performance and safety requirements of your system.
How do I choose the correct diameter and coil length?
Select the hose diameter to match your existing ductwork, fittings or equipment connections, taking into account desired airflow and pressure drop. Choose a coil length that comfortably covers the required run with some allowance for bends and routing, avoiding excessive tension or stretching of the hose during installation.
