When a leaking or kinked hose shuts down your fuel transfer line, irrigation setup, or hydraulic circuit, every minute of downtime costs you. Mechanics, farmers, workshop operators, and DIY builders who need a dependable, see-through hose that holds pressure without collapsing under suction or bending will find this braided steel wire PVC hose built for exactly those conditions.
Each piece is a single continuous length of clear flexible PVC hose reinforced with an internal steel wire braid. Available inner diameters range from 10mm (≈3/8") to 60mm (≈2-3/8"), with outer diameters sized approximately 5–8mm larger depending on wall thickness. Cut-to-length options include 1m (≈39"), 2m (≈79"), 3m (≈118"), and 5m (≈197"). Wall thickness is typically 3mm across most sizes; see variant options for exact OD dimensions.
Typical use cases include petroleum and diesel fuel transfer lines in workshops and agricultural equipment, low-pressure hydraulic return lines, water and coolant routing in machinery, and garden irrigation trunk lines where flow visibility helps with diagnostics. The clear body makes it easy to spot air locks, sediment buildup, or flow interruptions without disconnecting the line.

| Wall Thickness | Typically 3mm across most sizes; confirm via variant OD − ID ÷ 2 |
| Available Lengths | 1m (≈39"), 2m (≈79"), 3m (≈118"), 5m (≈197") |
| Working Pressure | Typically 6–20 bar depending on diameter; contact us to confirm for your size |
| Temperature Range | Generally 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F) for standard fluid transfer use |
| Fluid Compatibility | Water, petroleum/diesel, light oils, air; confirm for aggressive chemicals |
| Reinforcement | Internal helical steel wire braid |
| Transparency | Clear — full visual flow monitoring |
| End Type | Plain cut ends — accepts barbed fittings and hose clamps |
| Sold As | Single continuous length per order |
Match the inner diameter (ID) to your fitting or nozzle size. For example, a 10mm (≈3/8") ID suits small fuel lines, while a 25mm (≈1") ID handles higher-volume fluid transfer. For length, measure the full run and add a few extra inches for routing curves. Available lengths are 1m (≈39"), 2m (≈79"), 3m (≈118"), and 5m (≈197").
The steel wire braid reinforcement generally allows working pressures typically in the range of 6–20 bar, depending on diameter and wall thickness. Larger diameters typically carry lower pressure ratings. Always verify the specific variant's rating before use in high-pressure systems — contact us to confirm if needed.
Clear PVC is generally moisture-resistant and suitable for occasional outdoor use. However, prolonged UV exposure can cause the PVC to yellow and become brittle over time. For permanent outdoor installations, consider routing the hose through UV-protective conduit or sleeving.
This hose is designed for petroleum pipeline applications. It is generally compatible with diesel, light oils, and similar petroleum-based fluids. For aggressive solvents, concentrated acids, or high-temperature fuels above 60°C, confirm chemical compatibility before installation.
Standard barbed hose fittings, compression fittings, and hose clamps sized to match the inner diameter will generally work. For example, a 16mm ID hose typically accepts a 16mm barbed fitting. Always secure connections with a hose clamp when the line is under pressure.
Use a sharp utility knife or a hose cutter designed for reinforced flexible hose. Score around the full circumference and cut cleanly in one pass to avoid fraying the steel braid. Deburr the cut end before attaching fittings to ensure a leak-free seal.
Wall thickness is typically around 3mm for most sizes in this range. You can calculate it from the variant listing: wall thickness = (OD − ID) ÷ 2. For example, the 10*16mm variant has a 3mm wall; the 45*51mm variant also has a 3mm wall. See variant options for exact OD values, or contact us to confirm for your specific size.
In most cases, braided PVC hose is used for low-to-medium pressure air lines in workshop settings. However, compressed air applications carry additional safety considerations — always confirm the working pressure rating for your chosen diameter and ensure the hose is rated for pneumatic use before connecting to an air compressor.
