Suction Hose
Fabric Reinforced Suction Hose
Fabric reinforced suction hose adds a polyester fabric layer to the rigid PVC helix, so the wall carries pressure on the discharge stroke as well as vacuum on the inlet.
Product Overview
What This Hose Is Built To Do
Fabric reinforced suction hose adds a polyester fabric layer to the rigid PVC helix, so the wall carries pressure on the discharge stroke as well as vacuum on the inlet. It is made from 3/4 inch up to 16 inch in lengths to 50 m (164 ft), in orange, and runs from -10°C to 70°C. The extra fabric layer is what lets one hose serve both sides of a pump.
Key Benefits
- Fabric layer carries discharge pressure, so one hose type can serve suction and delivery
- Small bending radius makes it easier to route around plant and through bunds
- Size range from 3/4 inch to 16 inch covers everything from a transfer pump to a dredge line
- Lengths to 50 m cut the number of joints on a long run

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
- Use it on the discharge side only within the pressure the pump can generate at its duty point
- Keep the bend radius above the minimum so the helix does not deform
- Clamp between helix turns with a band wide enough to seat on the fabric layer
- Check the bore after fish or feed transfer and flush before storage
- Coil in the same direction each time so the helix keeps its set
Comparison
How It Compares With Our Other Products
| Clear Suction Hose | Fabric reinforced trades the visible bore for a stronger wall that takes discharge pressure |
|---|---|
| Green Suction Hose | The green hose uses the helix alone and is lighter, where the added polyester fabric here raises pressure capability |

Questions About the Fabric Reinforced Suction Hose
What sizes do you make
3/4 inch through 16 inch.
How long can a single length be
Up to 50 m (164 ft), or as required.
Is it suitable for live fish transfer
Yes, fish suction is one of its listed applications. For potable or food-contact duty ask us about the food grade TPU drinking water hose instead.
What colour is standard
Orange.
Can I use it on both sides of the pump
Yes. That is the reason for the fabric layer, provided discharge pressure stays within the pump rating.
What is the lead time
Lead time depends on size and quantity. Send your specification on WhatsApp for a confirmed date.
