PVC Lay Flat Hose
- Standard Duty
Overview
PVC Lay Flat Hose – Standard Duty 4 Bar is a lightweight, flexible water discharge hose made from high-strength PVC material. Commonly referred to as “lay flat” or “flat discharge” hose, this product is designed for intermediate pressure applications up to 4 bar (58 psi). Thanks to its collapsible design and robust construction, it's widely used in agriculture, construction, mining, and industrial water transfer projects.
Pressure Rating:
- Working Pressure: Up to 4 bar (58 psi)
- Burst Pressure: Typically 3× the working pressure (varies by diameter)
