Delivery & Suction Hose

Delivery and suction hoses are essential components in fluid handling, allowing reliable transfer of liquids across industrial, agricultural, construction, and commercial environments. Designed to cope with varying working pressures, temperatures, and media types, these hoses provide secure flow whether pumping clean water, wastewater, food-grade liquids, slurries, chemicals, or fuels.

At Pipestock, our range includes lightweight delivery hoses, heavy-duty suction options, specialist fuel-grade hoses, and highly flexible reinforced designs, ensuring you can find the right solution for your application.

Choosing the correct delivery or suction hose depends on several factors:

1. Media Compatibility

• Water, wastewater, slurry, food products, chemicals, and fuels all require hoses with suitable inner lining materials
• For potable water, choose Non-Toxic (food-grade) options
• For fuels, use only Fuel Grade hoses

2. Pressure & Vacuum Requirements

• Delivery applications require positive pressure rating
• Suction uses require hoses capable of handling negative pressure without collapsing; wire-reinforced or heavy-duty hoses are ideal
• Higher working pressures demand heavy-duty or reinforced constructions

3. Flexibility & Handling

• For tight spaces or frequent movement: Super Flexible or Super Elastic
• For easy manoeuvring in light applications: Lightweight Delivery

4. Operating Environment

• Abrasive or rugged sites: choose Heavy Duty
• Cold-weather jobs: Super Elastic performs best

5. Compliance & Safety

• Food-grade: opt for Non-Toxic
• Fuel-resistant: choose Fuel Grade
• Always confirm compatibility with your specific pump or system

Proper care extends service life, maintains performance, and prevents contamination.

Routine Maintenance Tips

• Inspect Regularly: Check for cracks, wear, flattening, or bulging
• Look for Soft Spots: Signs of chemical attack or delamination
• Check Fittings: Ensure couplings and clamps remain tight and free from corrosion
• Avoid Excessive Kinking: Store loosely coiled in a cool, dry place
• Protect from Sunlight: UV ageing can reduce hose flexibility over time

Cleaning Guidelines

• Water-Based Media: Flush with clean water after each use
• Food Applications: Sanitise with appropriate food-safe cleaning agents
• Fuel & Oil: Use approved degreasers or flushing fluids; ensure no residue remains
• Sludge/Slurry: Rinse thoroughly using high-pressure water and allow to fully drain
• Dry Fully Before Storage: Prevents mildew, odours, and material degradation

Long-Term Storage

• Store in a cool, shaded area
• Avoid sharp bends or compression
• Keep away from chemicals and direct heat sources
