Lightweight Hose

Our range of lightweight PVC hoses offers a durable yet highly flexible solution for fluid and air transfer applications where reduced weight and ease of handling are essential. Manufactured from high-quality polyvinyl chloride (PVC), these hoses are designed to deliver excellent performance without compromising on strength.

• Reduced weight: up to 30% lighter than a comparable standard PVC hose, making installation, mobilisation and storage easier.
• Pressure capability: rated up to 18 bar, with a safety factor of 3:1 at 20°C.
• Wide thermal range: operating from -15°C up to +60°C.
• Excellent resistance to abrasion, kinking and many chemicals thanks to the PVC construction and reinforcement.
• Low-toxicity material suitable for food-grade or beverage transfer tasks.
• Available in multiple colours (blue, clear, red, black) - enabling visual differentiation in multi-hose systems or colour-coding by service type.

• The lighter-weight hose reduces user fatigue, lowers handling effort and makes mobilising hose lines quicker and more efficient
• The high pressure rating ensures compatibility with demanding fluid systems and minimises the risk of failure under load
• The temperature tolerance means this hose can be used in colder environments without brittleness and in warmer zones without softening excessively
• Chemical and abrasion resistance means longer service life, fewer replacements and better cost-effectiveness in harsh environments
• Colour-coding aids safety, system organisation and maintenance clarity - for example identifying different services (chemical vs water vs air) at a glance

Thanks to its specially developed manufacturing process, this lightweight PVC hose is up to 30 % lighter than standard PVC hose, yet still offers excellent reinforcement and flexibility. The material - polyvinyl chloride (PVC) - brings a balanced performance profile, making this hose suitable for a broad range of demanding applications.

Applications:

This hose is ideal for use in:

• Food & beverage transfer systems (thanks to its low toxicity)
• General industrial fluid handling where weight reduction is beneficial
• Pneumatic and air transfer applications where ease of handling and mobility are key
• Agricultural and horticultural supply systems where flexibility and chemical-resistance are required
• Environments where frequent hose handling, repositioning or storage is required (lighter weight aids ergonomics)

• Always ensure the hose remains within its specified pressure and temperature limits; avoid prolonged exposure to extremes at the ends of the range
• When routing through tight spaces or around sharp edges, the hose’s kink-resistant properties help - but ensure proper support and avoid undue abrasion to maximise lifespan
• Colour-options can be leveraged for system segregation: e.g., red for chemical service, blue for potable water, clear for visual inspection lines
• Although low-toxicity, if you are using the hose for food or beverage transfer, confirm compliance with the relevant food-contact regulations or standards in your jurisdiction
• For storage, coil the hose loosely (avoiding tight bends) and keep it out of direct sunlight when not in use to minimise UV-degradation over time
