Suction Hose
Clear Suction Hose
Clear suction hose is a transparent PVC hose with a rigid PVC helix, used where the operator needs to see what is moving through the line.
Product Overview
What This Hose Is Built To Do
Clear suction hose is a transparent PVC hose with a rigid PVC helix, used where the operator needs to see what is moving through the line. It is made from 3/4 inch to 16 inch in lengths to 50 m (164 ft), weighs less than a heavy-duty opaque wall and works from -10°C to 70°C. Standard helix colours are white, red or yellow.
Key Benefits
- Transparent wall lets an operator spot air locks, blockages and colour change without stopping the line
- Light weight makes long hand-laid runs practical
- Small bending radius suits tight routing in plant rooms and tanker cabinets
- Smooth bore keeps fine powder and granule flow consistent

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
- Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight so the wall stays clear
- Wipe the outside rather than scouring it, so transparency is not lost to scratches
- Clamp between helix turns and check for wall deformation at the clamp
- Flush after powder duty so residue does not cake on the bore
- Store coiled and shaded
Comparison
How It Compares With Our Other Products
| Green Suction Hose | Same helix construction and size range, where the clear wall adds flow visibility and the green wall is easier to identify at distance on site |
|---|---|
| Fabric Reinforced Suction Hose | Clear hose is lighter and shows the flow, but does not carry the discharge pressure the fabric reinforced wall does |

Questions About the Clear Suction Hose
What sizes are available
3/4 inch through 16 inch.
How long is a standard length
Up to 50 m (164 ft), or as required.
Does the hose stay clear over time
It is a PVC wall, so prolonged UV exposure will dull it. Store it shaded when it is not in use.
Can it be used for fuel delivery
Fuel delivery is one of its listed applications. Confirm the exact fluid with us before ordering so we specify the right wall.
Which helix colours do you offer
White, red and yellow are standard, and other colours are produced to order.
Do you supply it with couplings fitted
Yes. Camlock and other couplings can be fitted before shipment.
