Description
A flexible five-layer knitted hose designed for watering and water supply, light and soft enough for comfortable, regular domestic use. Its foamed structure makes this lightweight garden hose easy to handle and offers excellent manoeuvrability, while the soft yellow PVC cover is UV resistant. At its core is knitted textile reinforcement that gives the hose its anti-kink and anti-torsion properties. If the hose becomes kinked or twisted, it returns to its original shape without permanent damage, avoiding the repeated kinking in the same place that can affect traditional braided hose.
Eco-designed and manufactured with up to 70% recycled PVC, this recycled garden hose brings a high proportion of recycled content to everyday domestic watering. Available in bore sizes from 12.5mm to 30mm, with coil lengths of 15m, 25m and 50m depending on size, it offers working pressures of 6 to 8 bar and a temperature range of -15°C to +60°C. Manufactured in France.
What is TNT?
TNT, short for Tricoflex Non Torsion, is the knitted reinforcement used in this hose and across the Tricoflex yellow irrigation range, and a design invented by Tricoflex. Unlike a traditional reinforced hose, where the polyester yarns are braided, TNT knits the yarns together. This knitted structure is what gives the hose its anti-torsion and anti-kink properties.
If the hose becomes kinked or twisted in use, the knitted reinforcement allows it to return to its original shape without being permanently damaged. This is the key advantage over braided hose, which can develop a memory of a kink once it occurs, causing it to kink repeatedly in the same place. Over time, a braided hose affected in this way becomes difficult to use and may need replacing shortly after kinking.
By recovering its original shape rather than holding a permanent kink, a TNT reinforced hose stays easier to handle and helps avoid premature replacement.
Key Features & Benefits
