Chemical & Pharma Hoses

Designed for the safe handling and transfer of chemicals, solvents, and pharmaceutical products, with hose assemblies selected for compatibility, performance, and compliance.

Chemical & Pharma Applications

Chemical and pharmaceutical environments demand strict control over material compatibility, cleanliness, and traceability. Hose assemblies used in these settings must safely handle aggressive, sensitive, or regulated media while supporting consistent, compliant operation.

Typical applications include:

  • Transfer of chemicals, solvents, and reagents
  • Pharmaceutical liquid and intermediate handling
  • Chemical processing and manufacturing operations
  • Loading and discharge of drums, IBCs, and storage tanks
  • Waste chemical and effluent transfer
  • Cleaning and washdown processes
  • Controlled fluid transfer in laboratory and production settings

Each application is carefully assessed to ensure the correct hose construction, lining, fittings, and assembly method are specified to meet safety, performance, and regulatory requirements.

Chemical & Pharma Hose Assembly Solutions

Hose assemblies used in chemical and pharmaceutical applications must be built with a strong focus on compatibility, safety, and repeatability. We supply complete hose assemblies specified to suit the media being transferred, operating conditions, and application requirements.

Assemblies are produced in-house using suitable hose materials and fittings, swaged or clamped as required. Where specified, assemblies can be pressure tested, identified, and supplied with certification to support traceability and compliance.

Why These Hoses Are Used in Chemical & Pharma Applications

Selecting the correct hose is essential to maintain safety, product integrity, and regulatory compliance. Key considerations include:

  • Chemical compatibility with the media being transferred
  • Resistance to permeation, degradation, and chemical attack
  • Pressure and temperature performance
  • Smooth bore construction where required for cleanliness
  • Secure coupling retention and leak prevention
  • Traceability and identification for inspection and record keeping

All hose assemblies can be cut to length, assembled in-house, pressure tested where required, and supplied with identification and certification.

Compatible Fittings & Accessories

Incorrect or unsuitable fittings can increase the risk of leaks, contamination, or safety incidents in chemical and pharmaceutical environments.

Common fittings used in chemical and pharmaceutical applications include:

  • Camlock couplings
  • Flanged connections
  • Threaded fittings (DIN, BSP, RJT)
  • Stainless steel hose tails and adaptors
  • Valves, gaskets, and sealing components

    Fittings can be supplied loose or fully assembled onto hoses, pressure tested, and supplied with identification where required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can hoses be supplied fully assembled?

Yes. We supply hoses fully assembled to your exact specification, ready for immediate installation and use.

Our in-house hose assembly service allows us to build complete hose assemblies to suit your application, including hose type, bore size, length, and end connections. Assemblies can be supplied with a wide range of fittings, adapters, and connectors, including threaded, flanged, camlock, hygienic, and specialist fittings.

Where required, we can also carry out custom fabrication and welding to create bespoke adapters or transitions for unusual or legacy systems. This ensures compatibility with existing pipework, machinery, or tanker connections, reducing downtime and installation issues.

Each assembly is produced by experienced technicians and checked to ensure it meets the demands of the intended application.

Do you offer pressure testing and certification?

Yes. Most hose assemblies are pressure tested and certified before dispatch.

We offer certified hydrostatic pressure testing using our dedicated water pressure testing equipment, providing documented confirmation that the assembly meets the required pressure rating. This is particularly important for safety-critical, regulated, or high-pressure applications.

In addition, most hose assemblies undergo standard pressure checks using our air pressure testing equipment as part of our quality control process.

Where required, we can supply supporting documentation such as:

  • Pressure test certificates
  • Material or compliance information
  • Application-specific certification

This gives you confidence that the assembly has been tested, verified, and supplied ready for service.

Can hoses be cut to length and fitted with customer-specified ends?

Yes. All hoses can be cut to order and supplied with customer-specified end fittings.

We cut hoses to your exact required length and fit them with the end connections needed for your system, whether that is threaded fittings, flanges, hygienic clamps, camlocks, or specialist connectors. This removes the need for on-site cutting or modification and ensures a clean, professional installation.

If you are unsure of the most suitable end fittings or configuration, our technical team can advise on the best options based on pressure, temperature, media, and installation constraints.

Custom lengths and fittings help minimise waste, reduce installation time, and ensure the hose assembly performs as intended in service.
