Waste & Environmental Hoses

Designed for the transfer of waste materials, liquids, sludges, and environmental by-products, with hose assemblies built for durability, safety, and demanding operating conditions.

Waste & Environmental Applications

Waste management and environmental services involve some of the most demanding hose applications, often handling abrasive, contaminated, or high-solids media under variable pressures. Hose assemblies in these environments must deliver reliability, resistance to wear, and safe operation across challenging conditions.

Typical applications include:

  • Liquid waste, sludge and slurry transfer
  • Wastewater, sewage, and effluent handling
  • Suction and discharge operations
  • Environmental clean-up and remediation works
  • Tank, pit and interceptor emptying
  • Vacuum tanker, jetting, and drainage operations
  • Waste processing and treatment facilities

Each hose assembly is specified with the appropriate construction, fittings, and assembly method to support safe handling, minimise downtime, and perform reliably in harsh operational environments.

Waste & Environmental Hose Assembly Solutions

Hose assemblies used in waste and environmental applications must withstand abrasive media, repeated use, and demanding operating conditions. We supply complete hose assemblies built for strength, safety, and long service life.

Assemblies are produced in-house using suitable hose types and fittings, swaged or clamped as required. Whether for suction, discharge, or transfer operations, each assembly is specified and built to support reliable performance in waste and environmental services.

Why These Hoses Are Used in Waste & Environmental Applications

Selecting the correct hose helps ensure safe operation and reduce downtime in waste handling environments. Important considerations include:

  • Resistance to abrasion and aggressive media
  • Suitability for suction and discharge use
  • Pressure and vacuum performance
  • Flexibility for mobile and vehicle-mounted equipment
  • Secure coupling retention under dynamic loads
  • Durability in harsh and contaminated environments

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 fittings can increase the risk of leaks, blockages, or operational disruption in waste and environmental operations.

Common fittings used in waste and environmental applications include:

  • Bauer and Unicone couplings
  • Camlock couplings
  • Flanged connections
  • Safety clamps and clamp systems
  • Hose tails and adaptors
  • Caps, plugs, and protective covers

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.
