Protective Hose Sleeves

At Pipestock we offer a wide-ranging selection of premium protective hose sleeves from the trusted manufacturer Jaymac, designed to extend the working life of your hoses and maintain system reliability in demanding industrial environments.

• Manufacturer: Jaymac
• Materials: durable textiles and engineering polymers including nylon, galvanised steel, glass fibre, elastomer rubber and polypropylene.
• Available in both metric and imperial hose diameters to suit a wide variety of hose assemblies.
• Supplied in coils of 2 m, 10 m, 15 m and 20 m; the Pyrosleeve variant is available by the metre for tailor-cut requirements.
• Protects hoses against a comprehensive range of hazards: elevated temperatures and fire exposure, chemical splash, abrasion, crushing and mechanical impact – keeping your hose in top working condition for longer.

These protective sleeves not only safeguard the hose itself, but also bring added safety, reduced downtime and lower replacement costs - making them a sensible investment for any system where hose failure is not an option.

This is the general-purpose sleeve designed for everyday protection of flexible hoses. Constructed typically from tough nylon or polypropylene outer sheaths, sometimes lined with glass-fibre or elastomer for enhanced performance, it offers:

• Excellent abrasion-resistance - guards hoses from surface wear when dragged or rubbed
• Protection from moderate crushing or kinking - useful in busy production zones or where hoses run across floors
• Compatible with a range of diameters and lengths in coil form, making them practical to cut to size and fit

Typical applications:

• General industrial plants
• Workshops
• Hydraulic hose runs
• Factory floor installations
• Mobile equipment where hoses are exposed to movement and wear

When the risk of crush, severe bending or impact is higher, a steel spring guard is the go-to solution. These guards consist of a galvanised steel coil that wraps around the hose and provides:

• Robust mechanical protection - the steel spring absorbs impact, prevents sharp bends and supports the hose in high-stress or confined routing.
• Excellent crush resistance - ideal where the hose is subject to heavy contact, rolling loads or pressurised environments.
• Long service life even in harsh conditions, especially where hoses are exposed externally or in mobile plant.

Typical applications:

• Agricultural machinery
• Vehicle hydraulics
• Mining or construction plant
• Bulk-handling systems
• Where hoses suffer external abuse or risk of crushing.

A spiral hose guard offers a versatile, lighter-weight alternative to the steel spring guard, typically made from polypropylene or other engineering polymers. It provides:

• Enhanced flexibility - the spiral form allows bending and routing while still protecting the hose exterior.
• Good protection from abrasion, nicks and minor impact damage - perfect in less aggressive environments where full steel protection might be overkill.
• Ease of installation - the open spiral construction can be applied to existing hoses without disconnecting assemblies in many cases.

Typical applications:

• Pneumatics and light hydraulics
• Service hoses in workshops
• Instrumentation lines
• Temporary hose runs
• Plant where flexibility and protection both matter

By selecting the correct sleeve type for your hose application you’ll benefit from reduced downtime, fewer hose replacements, improved safety around hose routing, and better performance in challenging environments. With the broad range of materials and sizes, you can match the protection to your exact need - whether it’s fire and heat resistance, chemical splash, abrasion, crush or mechanical impact.
