PVC Braided Hose

PVC braided hose is a versatile, durable, and cost-effective solution for transporting air, water, and a wide range of compatible liquids across domestic, commercial, and industrial applications. Engineered with a flexible PVC construction reinforced by a high-tensile polyester braid, these hoses deliver excellent performance under pressure while remaining lightweight and easy to handle.

At Pipestock, we supply an extensive selection of PVC braided hose options including standard reinforced, colour-coded variants for easy system identification, and fully certified food-grade hoses to meet hygiene-critical requirements.

PVC braided hose is widely used across multiple industries due to its reliability and broad chemical compatibility:

• Industrial workshops: Air lines, pneumatic tools, coolant systems
• Food & beverage processing: Potable water, washdown, transfer of food-safe liquids
• Agriculture: Irrigation, spraying equipment, nutrient dosing
• Construction: Site water supply, pumping, general utility hose
• Automotive & engineering: Fluid transfer, vacuum lines, low-pressure hydraulics
• Chemical handling: Suitable for many mild chemicals (check compatibility)
• Marine & leisure: Water supply, drainage, bilge applications

• What is PVC braided hose?
  • PVC braided hose is a flexible, pressure-rated hose made from phthalate-free PVC with a polyester braid to prevent expansion while staying easy to handle.
• What is PVC braided hose used for?
  • It’s used for compressed air, water delivery, washdown, fluid transfer, irrigation, and food processing (food-grade variants).
• How does PVC braided hose differ from standard PVC hose?
  • Unlike standard PVC, braided hose includes a polyester reinforcement layer, allowing it to safely handle pressure and compressed air.
• What pressure can PVC braided hose handle?
  • Most PVC braided hoses are rated up to 16 bar working pressure, with higher burst ratings depending on size.
• What temperature range is PVC braided hose suitable for?
  • Typically -10°C to +60°C - pressure ratings may reduce at higher temperatures.
• Is PVC braided hose suitable for food applications?
  • Yes. Food-grade PVC braided hose is certified to EU 10/2011, is phthalate-free, and is taste- and odour-neutral.
• Can PVC braided hose be used for compressed air?
  • Yes. Reinforced PVC braided hose is commonly used for air lines and pneumatic tools when within pressure limits.
• Is PVC braided hose chemically resistant?
  • It offers good resistance to many mild chemicals, detergents, acids, and alkalis - compatibility should always be checked.
• What does the braided reinforcement do?
  • The polyester braid increases pressure resistance, limits expansion, improves kink resistance, and extends hose life.
• What fittings should be used with PVC braided hose?
  • Use correctly sized hose tails with secure hose clips to prevent leaks or hose pull-off under pressure.
• How long does PVC braided hose last?
  • With correct pressure, temperature, and chemical use, PVC braided hose offers long service life with minimal maintenance.
• How do you cut PVC braided hose cleanly?
  • Use a sharp hose cutter to make a straight 90° cut - clean cuts ensure proper sealing and leak-free fittings.
