Description
This premium soft PVC hose with galvanised steel spiral is designed for reliable transfer of industrial liquids in demanding environments. The flexible PVC wall and robust embedded steel helix combine to provide excellent crush resistance while maintaining easy handling and manoeuvrability on site.
Ideal for use in factories, workshops, agriculture, utilities and construction, the hose is suitable for water, light chemicals and general-purpose liquid handling. A wide range of diameters and coil lengths allows you to match the hose to fixed installations, machinery connections or mobile pumping and drainage tasks.
Product Features
- Available in outside/inside diameters from 15.5 mm, 17.5 mm, 19.5 mm, 21.5 mm and 24 mm, plus a further 11 size options to suit most common pipework and fittings.
- Supplied in convenient coil lengths of 10 m, 12 m, 14 m, 16 m and 18 m, with an additional 11 coil length options for both compact and extended runs.
- Soft, flexible PVC construction for easy routing around plant, equipment and tight corners without kinking under normal working conditions.
- Integrated galvanised steel spiral reinforcement provides excellent crush resistance and improved vacuum performance.
- Good transparency (typical for soft PVC hose) to allow visual inspection of flow and help identify blockages or contamination.
- Lightweight design compared with rubber or composite alternatives, reducing manual handling effort.
- Typical working pressure options around 30 or 60 psi (depending on size and operating conditions), providing suitability for a range of low to medium pressure liquid transfer applications.
Key Features and Benefits
- Enhanced durability: Galvanised steel spiral helix protects the hose from crushing, impacts and heavy traffic, extending service life in busy industrial areas.
- High flexibility: Soft PVC wall remains pliable for easier installation, storage and repositioning, even on longer runs and around equipment.
- Versatile sizing: Multiple bore and coil length options allow close matching to existing pipework, pumps and couplings, helping to minimise pressure loss and leakage risk.
- Improved safety and control: Clear or translucent PVC typically allows you to monitor product flow, helping operators identify air pockets, backflow or contamination quickly.
- Low maintenance: Smooth internal bore promotes efficient flow and is easy to flush through and clean between uses.
- Cost-effective performance: Combines robust mechanical protection with an economical PVC construction, offering a practical alternative to heavier industrial hose types.

Applications and Ideal Uses
This hose is well suited to general industrial, commercial and agricultural liquid-handling tasks where flexibility, crush resistance and dependable performance are required.
- Industrial water transfer, cooling lines and drainage in workshops and processing plants.
- Light chemical and cleaning solution transfer where PVC is compatible with the media.
- Agricultural irrigation, slurry handling and liquid fertiliser transfer within suitable chemical limits.
- Temporary pump connections and bypass lines on construction and utilities sites.
- General suction and delivery duties for tanks, IBCs and machinery in maintenance areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this hose be used for both suction and discharge applications?
Yes, the embedded galvanised steel spiral provides the rigidity needed for typical light-duty suction as well as discharge, provided the working vacuum and pressure stay within the hose’s stated ratings.
Is the hose suitable for all types of chemicals?
No, not all chemicals are compatible with PVC. It is suitable for many water-based liquids and light chemicals, but you should always check the chemical compatibility of PVC with your specific media and operating temperature before use.
How do I choose the correct diameter and coil length?
Select a diameter that matches your existing pipework or fittings to avoid flow restrictions or leakage, and then choose a coil length that covers the full run with minimal joints. Where possible, allow a small extra allowance for routing around obstacles and making secure connections.
