TPU Layflat Hose
16 Inch Layflat Hose
The 16 inch layflat hose is a DN400 TPU hose for long-distance water supply in firefighting, emergency water removal during floods, industrial bulk discharge, irrigation supply and frac solution transfer.
Product Overview
What This Hose Is Built To Do
The 16 inch layflat hose is a DN400 TPU hose for long-distance water supply in firefighting, emergency water removal during floods, industrial bulk discharge, irrigation supply and frac solution transfer. TPU is extruded through the woven polyester so cover, liner and reinforcement behave as one wall. It is supplied in 200 m (660 ft) lengths in black, rated -50°C to 80°C.
Key Benefits
- 200 m in a single length means a kilometre run needs only a handful of joints
- Extremely tough TPU wall stands up to dragging over rock, road and frozen ground
- Oil and chemical resistance so the same hose serves water and frac duty
- Fast deployment and retrieval from a reel rather than section-by-section pipe work

Manufacturing and Quality
How It Is Made and Checked
Production Process of TPU Layflat 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
- Deploy and recover from a reel to get the benefit of the 200 m length
- Keep the line clear of sharp edges at road and rail crossings
- Charge gradually so a long run does not surge
- Wash and dry before rewinding after produced water or slurry duty
- Log each reel so service history follows the hose
Comparison
How It Compares With Our Other Products
| 16 Inch Discharge Hose | The PVC version is cheaper for moderate water duty, where this TPU hose takes higher pressure, resists oil and chemicals and runs in far longer lengths |
|---|---|
| Fracking Hose | Fracking hose is this same TPU construction finished specifically for frac and produced water, with anti-static copper wires available |

Questions About the 16 Inch Layflat Hose
What is the bore in metric
DN400.
How long is a single length
200 m (660 ft), or as required.
Why choose TPU over PVC at this size
TPU takes higher pressure, resists oil and chemicals, runs to -50°C and comes in much longer lengths.
What colour is standard
Black, or another colour to order.
How is the hose made
By extruding TPU through the woven polyester, which bonds cover and lining to the reinforcement in one operation.
Which couplings fit a 16 inch TPU hose
Quick VIC couplings cover 4 to 16 inch and are our usual recommendation for TPU layflat hose.
