Description
This professional two-layer PVC hose is designed specifically for the safe transfer of food-grade liquids in demanding environments. With a crush-resistant construction and excellent flexibility, it provides a reliable solution for handling water, juices, dairy products and other compatible food fluids in processing and dispensing applications.
Available in a wide choice of outside and inside diameters and coil lengths, this hose is ideal for food and beverage plants, commercial kitchens, mobile catering, dairies and bottling lines. Its durable, smooth-bore design supports consistent flow rates, while the robust outer layer withstands abrasion, impact and repeated handling on busy production floors.
Product Features
- Two-layer PVC construction combining a smooth inner wall for hygienic fluid transfer with a tough outer layer for enhanced durability.
- Available outside/inside diameter options starting from approximately 28 mm through to 47 mm, plus a wide range of additional diameters to suit different flow and connection requirements.
- Multiple coil lengths offered, including 19 m, 25 m, 30 m, 32 m and 35 m, with many other lengths available to match fixed and mobile installations.
- Crush-resistant design helps the hose maintain its cross-section under moderate compression, reducing the risk of kinks and flow restriction.
- Flexible wall structure allows easy routing around equipment, corners and confined spaces without compromising performance.
- Lightweight PVC materials make the hose easy to handle, install and reposition during cleaning or line changes.
- Suitable for the transfer of compatible cold and ambient-temperature food liquids in hygienic environments.
Key Features and Benefits
- Excellent flow performance: Smooth internal surface minimises turbulence and pressure drop, helping maintain steady product flow.
- Improved hygiene control: Food-compatible PVC inner layer supports effective cleaning regimes and helps reduce the risk of product contamination.
- Reduced downtime: Crush-resistant design is less prone to damage from occasional impacts or being trodden on, supporting longer service life.
- Easy installation and handling: Flexible, lightweight hose coils are straightforward to cut to length, route and connect to existing fittings.
- Versatile sizing range: Broad choice of diameters and coil lengths means a closer match to system requirements, reducing waste and the need for adaptors.
- Cost-effective performance: Durable PVC construction provides reliable day-to-day service without the higher cost of more specialised hose types.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this hose suitable for use with all types of food liquids?
The hose is intended for use with compatible food-grade liquids such as water, juices and certain dairy products. Always check the chemical compatibility of the specific liquid with PVC before use, and ensure it meets any applicable food-contact requirements for your process.
Can I cut the hose to a custom length from a coil?
Yes, the flexible PVC construction allows the hose to be cut to shorter lengths from a supplied coil using appropriate cutting tools. After cutting, ensure the ends are clean and square, and use suitable hose clamps or fittings for a secure connection.
Is the hose flexible enough to bend around tight corners without kinking?
The hose offers good flexibility and a crush-resistant design, making it suitable for routing around general bends and obstacles. However, avoiding bends tighter than the recommended minimum bend radius will help prevent kinking and maintain optimal flow.
