Description
This professional soft PVC hose is designed specifically for the safe transfer of food-grade liquids, combining excellent flexibility with robust performance. Reinforced with a durable steel spiral, it maintains its shape under pressure and offers outstanding resistance to crushing, kinking and vacuum collapse.
Ideal for demanding agricultural, construction and industrial environments, this hose is well suited to applications such as water and food liquid supply, slurry handling and general fluid transfer. A wide choice of outside and inside diameters and coil lengths allows you to select the most appropriate configuration for your pumping, loading or discharge systems.
Product Features
- Soft PVC construction with embedded steel spiral reinforcement for enhanced strength and crush resistance.
- Multiple outside/inside diameter options, including 15.5 mm, 17.5 mm, 20 mm, 22 mm and 24 mm, plus many additional sizes for precise system matching.
- Available in a range of standard coil lengths, including 10 m, 12 m, 14 m, 16 m and 18 m, with numerous other lengths to suit different installation runs.
- Flexible hose wall allows easy routing around machinery, fixtures and tight corners without compromising flow.
- Smooth internal bore helps promote efficient flow of liquids, reducing friction losses and aiding cleaning.
- Suitable for food liquid transfer and potable water applications where compatible with local regulations.
- Pressure and vacuum performance options including 60 and 30 (typical working pressure/vacuum rating ranges, depending on size and configuration).
Key Features and Benefits
- Steel spiral reinforcement prevents the hose from collapsing under suction or load, improving service reliability in heavy-duty use.
- High flexibility makes installation faster and easier, reducing the need for complex fittings or rigid pipework.
- Crush-resistant design withstands occasional traffic, equipment contact and tight bends, helping to extend hose life.
- Food liquid suitability supports hygienic handling of drinkable water, milk, juices and other compatible media in farming and processing environments.
- Wide range of diameters and coil lengths allows accurate sizing to your pump, couplings and layout, improving flow and system efficiency.
- Durable PVC material offers good resistance to weathering and many common agricultural and construction fluids, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this hose suitable for all food liquids, including hot products?
The hose is designed for food liquid transfer, but suitability depends on the specific product, temperature and any applicable regulations. It is generally suitable for cold and moderately warm liquids. Always check the temperature limits for your selected size and confirm compatibility with the liquid being conveyed.
Can I use this hose under vacuum for suction applications?
Yes, the integrated steel spiral reinforcement makes this hose suitable for many suction and vacuum applications, helping to prevent collapse. However, the permissible vacuum level varies by diameter and wall thickness, so consult the performance data for the particular size you intend to use.
How do I choose the correct diameter and coil length for my system?
Match the hose internal diameter to the outlet size of your pump or fittings and consider the required flow rate to minimise pressure losses. Select a coil length that comfortably covers the distance between connection points, allowing for routing around obstacles and securing the hose without excessive tension.
