Braided & Tubing Hoses

PVC Braided and Tubing Hoses are versatile and lightweight hose assemblies commonly used in applications that require moderate pressure handling and flexibility. Made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), these hoses are often reinforced with braided layers of polyester yarn, providing added structural support and enabling them to withstand pressures that would otherwise cause them to collapse or burst.

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) braided and tubing hoses offer a range of benefits that make them a popular choice for a variety of applications, from water supply and discharge to chemical and air transfer. The braided construction adds additional reinforcement, while PVC tubing hoses are known for their flexibility and simplicity. Here are some benefits of using PVC braided and tubing hoses:

Durability and Strength

  1. Braided Reinforcement: The braided design in PVC hoses provides added tensile strength, making them more resistant to bursting and kinking.

  2. Chemical Resistance: PVC material is generally resistant to a variety of chemicals, oils, and other corrosive materials, suitable for various industrial applications.

  3. Abrasion Resistance: The braided structure and material composition make these hoses less susceptible to wear and tear.

  4. Weather Resistance: These hoses can endure a variety of weather conditions such as exposure to sun, rain, and cold temperatures, making them suitable for outdoor use.

Performance and Versatility

  1. Flexibility: PVC hoses, especially the tubing types, are known for their flexibility, which is useful for applications requiring maneuverability.

  2. High-Pressure Handling: The braided reinforcement allows the hose to handle higher pressure conditions compared to regular PVC tubing hoses.

  3. Smooth Flow: The hoses usually have a smooth internal surface, facilitating the easy flow of liquids or gases and reducing friction loss.

  4. Transparency: Many PVC hoses are transparent or semi-transparent, enabling easy inspection of the flow, and quick detection of clogs or contaminants.

Cost-Effectiveness

  1. Affordability: Generally less expensive than hoses made from other materials such as rubber or metal, PVC braided and tubing hoses provide a cost-effective solution.

  2. Low Maintenance: The hoses are durable and generally require less frequent replacement and lower maintenance, which can save costs over time.

  3. Ease of Installation: Their lighter weight and flexibility usually make these hoses easier and quicker to install, thus reducing labor costs.

Application-Specific Benefits

  1. Wide Application Range: These hoses are versatile enough to be used in various settings, including domestic water supply, industrial chemical transfer, agriculture, and pneumatic applications.

  2. Available Sizes and Lengths: PVC braided and tubing hoses come in multiple sizes and lengths, catering to different pressure ratings and flow capacities.

  3. Ease of Adaptability: These hoses can easily be connected to different types of fittings, adding to their versatility.

Health and Safety

  1. Food-Grade Options: Some PVC hoses are designed to meet food and pharmaceutical-grade requirements, making them safe for transferring consumables.

  2. Low Contamination Risk: The smooth internal surface and chemical-resistant material can reduce the risk of contamination, particularly in food, pharmaceutical, or medical applications.

When choosing a PVC braided or tubing hose, it's important to consider the specific requirements of your application, such as temperature, pressure, and the type of materials that will be transferred. Always adhere to manufacturer guidelines and industry regulations for installation and usage.
