PVC Green Suction Hose
Overview
PVC Green Suction Hose is a flexible, crush-resistant suction hose used in various applications, from general water pumping to light chemical transfer. Constructed with a rigid PVC helix embedded within durable PVC walls, this hose exhibits excellent structural integrity while remaining relatively lightweight. Its signature green color helps differentiate it from other hoses in a fleet or worksite, aiding in quick identification and routing.
Key Uses & Applications
Agricultural Water Pumping & Irrigation
- Ideal for suction and discharge of water on farms for crop irrigation or livestock watering
- Handles typical agricultural irrigation chemicals with proper compatibility checks
Construction & Dewatering
- Widely used for pumping water out of trenches, excavation sites, and drainage ditches
- Rigid PVC helix prevents hose collapse under vacuum pressures commonly encountered in construction dewatering tasks
Industrial & Light Chemical Transfer
- Transfers mild chemicals, wastewater, and other non-abrasive fluids in industrial operations
- Smooth interior aids in efficient flow and quick cleaning
Municipal & Marine Applications
- Suction for fire hydrant connections (non-fire-rated) and emergency water services
- Suitable for bilge pumping or general marine use with moderate suction requirements
Product Highlights
Rigid PVC Helix
- Reinforced spiral helix embedded throughout the hose wall provides robust crush resistance
- Maintains structural shape under partial vacuum, preventing collapse
Flexible & Lightweight
- Easier to maneuver and install compared to heavier rubber hoses or rigid piping systems
- Can bend around obstacles or corners, reducing the need for multiple fittings
Green Color Coding
- Easily identifiable on worksites or among other hoses, which simplifies management and deployment
Smooth Inner Surface
- Promotes optimum flow rates and reduces clogging risks
- Streamlines cleaning and maintenance, especially for water-based fluids
Temperature Range
- Typically from -5°C to +60°C (23°F to 140°F), depending on fluid characteristics and ambient conditions
