What is a suction hose pipe?
Suction Hose is a specific type of hose used in drafting operations when using a vacuum to draw water from a portable water tank, pool, or another static water source. It is built to withstand vacuum, rather than pressure, abrasion, and heat. These are connected to the suction side of the pump
Flexible suction hose, reinforced with a rigid internal, white PVC helix that is both crush and kink-resistant. Tough, durable, and extremely flexible even under cold working conditions, with outstanding resistance to the effects of weather. Minimum frictional loss is achieved by the smooth bore.
Flexible suction hoses are a type of hose that are used for suction and discharge applications. They are made from a flexible PVC material and contain a PVC helix. The flexibility of these hoses can range from rigid to super flexible, depending on the application and durability needed .
Here are some benefits of using flexible suction hoses:
Multipurpose: Flexible suction hoses are multipurpose hoses, meaning that they can be used in various industries, for a number of applications. They are used in agriculture to dispense slurry, silage and animal waste, taken from the animal sheds, onto the fields in order to fertilise the soil. They are also used to deliver seeds, granules and other foods to livestock. These hoses are also used in the industrial and construction industries for the removal of dust, wood shavings and other small debris as well as for the transfer and conveyance of sewage, fuels, oils, light chemicals, water and other non-solvent based liquids. Vehicular applications also benefit from these types of hose, as they can be used to carry fuels to and from tankers, aircraft, boats and other large vehicles. They can also be used to transfer oil and fuel for processing or, to and from, storage. Suction and discharge hoses are also even used in the food industry, for the transportation of seeds, granules, beers, water, as well as other drinks and food substances. They are even used in crisis situations like floods to suck up large amounts of water, helping to bring down flood levels .
Flexible: Hose made from a flexible PVC can be handled and stored with ease because they can be bent around storage hooks or hung across distances. Super flexible PVC allows for extremely easy movement and handling, due to their superior flexibility .
Resistant: Flexible suction hoses are resistant to a range of temperatures, depending on the hose, but are commonly designed to withstand vacuum rather than pressure, abrasion or heat. However, the PVC helix, found in a majority of suction hoses, helps to reduce crushing and kinking. There are types of suction and discharge hoses that are more heavy-duty and designed to be more durable and resistant to factors such as abrasions, heat, chemicals and weather
