12 Inch Suction Hose
The 12 inch suction hose is a DN300 rigid-helix PVC hose built for pump inlets that have to lift high volumes of water, slurry and debris-laden liquid without the wall collapsing.
Product Overview
What This Hose Is Built To Do
The 12 inch suction hose is a DN300 rigid-helix PVC hose built for pump inlets that have to lift high volumes of water, slurry and debris-laden liquid without the wall collapsing. A rigid PVC helix is embedded in the wall so the bore stays round under negative pressure, while the smooth PVC lining keeps friction loss low across the full run. Standard supply is up to 10 m (100 ft) in orange, red or green, rated from -10°C to 70°C.
Key Benefits
- Holds its bore under full pump vacuum, so suction lift does not fall away as the hose ages
- Smooth PVC lining keeps friction loss low on a 12 inch bore where flow losses are expensive
- Supplied in continuous lengths up to 10 m, which removes joints at the pump inlet
- Colour coding in orange, red or green lets a rental fleet separate clean water and slurry duty

Problems It Solves
Why Buyers Move To This Product
- Thin-wall suction hose flattening at the pump inlet and starving the impeller
- Cracking at the helix after repeated dragging across gravel and site rubble
- Loss of suction lift caused by leaking joints in made-up hose runs
Who It Is For
- Dewatering contractors running 12 inch trash and diesel pumps
- Pump rental fleets that need a standard DN300 inlet hose
- Irrigation districts drawing from open canals and reservoirs
- Sand, gravel and dredging operators handling abrasive slurry

Manufacturing and Quality
How It Is Made and Checked
Production Process of Suction Hose. Every manufacturing process complies with the ISO 9001 standard.
- All raw materials approved by the Department of Quality Control
- Yarn strength and skein consistency verified before weaving
- Every manufacturing process complies with the ISO 9001 standard
- All hoses tested at the test pressure
- Layflat hose held at 1.5 times working pressure for 2 hours before shipment
- Trace number recorded for production date, employees and raw material sources
Customization Options
- Colour made to order alongside the standard range
- OEM and ODM printing of your brand, with exclusive protection of your designs
- Length cut to the run you specify rather than a fixed stock length
- Couplings fitted before shipment and pressure tested as one assembly
Use Guide
- Fit the hose to the pump inlet with a clamp that seats between two helix turns, never on top of the helix
- Keep the suction run as short and as straight as the site allows to protect the lift
- Support the hose at the water end so the strainer stays off the bed and does not draw silt
- Flush with clean water after slurry duty so grit does not settle in the corrugations
- Store coiled flat and out of direct sunlight, not folded across the helix
Comparison
How It Compares With Our Other Products
| Fabric Reinforced Suction Hose | The 12 inch uses a rigid PVC helix only, which keeps it lighter to handle than a fabric reinforced wall of the same bore, but the fabric version carries more pressure on the discharge side |
|---|---|
| Layflat Discharge Hose | Layflat hose collapses flat and cannot be used on a pump inlet, so it is the delivery-side partner to this hose rather than an alternative |

Questions About the 12 Inch Suction Hose
What is the maximum length you supply in 12 inch
Up to 10 m (100 ft) per length. Longer runs are made up from multiple lengths and couplings.
What working temperature can this hose handle
-10°C (14°F) to 70°C (158°F).
Can you supply it in a colour other than orange
Yes. Orange, red and green are standard, and other colours are produced to order.
Will it handle slurry and not just clean water
Yes. The wall is built for heavy duty suction and discharge including slurry, with high abrasion resistance on the bore.
Can you fit couplings before shipping
Yes. We manufacture camlock, Bauer and Storz couplings ourselves and can supply the hose already made up.
How is a 12 inch hose packed for export
Coiled and packed to the length ordered. Packing detail is confirmed with your forwarder before shipment.
