Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum pressure this hose can handle?

The product information does not specify a maximum pressure rating. It is designed for typical suction and delivery duties with standard drain pumps, not high-pressure applications.

Can this hose be used for hot water?

The operating temperature range is -5 to +60°C. It is not recommended for hot water above 60°C.

How do I clean the hose after use?

Flush the hose thoroughly with clean water after each use. If used with chemicals or fertilisers, a gentle rinse with water is sufficient.

What types of chemicals can be transferred?

The hose is suitable for light chemicals and fertilisers. It is not intended for aggressive or heavy industrial chemicals.

Can I connect multiple hoses together?

While not explicitly stated, standard fittings can often be adapted to join hoses. Ensure a secure, leak-proof connection if attempting to extend the length.

What is the wall thickness of the hose?

The product details do not specify the exact wall thickness, but it is described as 'reinforced' for durability.

Troubleshooting

Hose kinks easily, restricting flow

Ensure the hose is not twisted. Lay it out in a straight line as much as possible. Avoid sharp bends, especially during setup.

Leaks at connection points

Check that the hose clamps or fittings are securely tightened. Ensure the hose end is properly seated onto the pump's fitting.

Reduced flow rate

Verify that the hose is not kinked or blocked internally. Check any strainers or filters connected to the hose for debris.

Hose feels stiff in cold weather

While designed for a range of temperatures, extreme cold can reduce flexibility. Allow the hose to warm up slightly before attempting to maneuver it extensively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable reinforced construction for longevity.
  • Lightweight and flexible for ease of use.
  • Suitable for a range of common pumping applications.
  • Operates across a useful temperature range.
  • Standard 32mm diameter ensures broad compatibility.

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy-duty industrial chemicals.
  • May be too short for very extensive transfer tasks without extensions.
  • Operating temperature limit should be noted for extreme climates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect one end of the hose securely to the pump's outlet (for discharge) or inlet (for suction). Ensure fittings are tight to prevent leaks. For suction applications, a foot valve or strainer is recommended to prevent debris intake. The hose is supplied in 10-metre lengths and can be cut to size if necessary, though clean, straight cuts are advised for optimal fitting.

Compatibility: This hose features a 1 1/4” (32mm) bore, making it compatible with most standard pumps and fittings designed for this diameter. Always verify that your pump's fittings match this size.

Care: After use, flush the hose with clean water, especially if it carried chemicals or fertilisers. Store the hose loosely coiled in a dry, shaded area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prolong its lifespan. Inspect regularly for signs of wear or damage.
