Reinforced PVC Hose

Reinforced with polyester yarn our three layer P.V.C. constructed hose offers reliability at high working pressures, added to which the smooth bore coupled with extreme flexibility allow for excellent flow rates. Manufactured from top quality crystal clear P.V.C. compounds, our clear reinforced P.V.C. hose is ideal for factory airlines, fluid return systems and various industrial applications which require blockages to be quickly and easily detected. Our manufacturing tolerances are within BS EN ISO 1307:2008.

Our Reinforced P.V.C hose is resistant to a wide range of chemicals; further details may be obtained from our Technical Sales Office.

The maximum and minimum temperature we would recommend for flexible reinforced PVC hose is -20°C which is the cold flex temperature and the Maximum recommended continuous temperature is 55°C.

Bend Radius

See this graph for our recommended bend radii.

Working pressures and temperatures

To ensure continuous quality and high standards, a constant programme of pressure testing of our products is carried out by independent test authorities. The working pressures are based on the short term burst pressure at 20°C using a 4 to 1 safety factor. Any increases in temperature above 20°C will affect the short term burst pressure quoted. This graph shows the percentage of working pressure at 20°C, which can be delivered safely at increased temperatures.

Low toxic

All of our PVC tube is manufactured from a low toxicity PVC material, the ingredients of which are approved by the U.S.F. and D.A. for use in contact with food and drink.

Brewery quality hose

We are able to manufacture the above range of tube in a high specification low taste PVC material as specified by the U.K. Brewing Industry. Our sales office will be pleased to quote prices and advise minimum manufacturing quantities.
