Match the hose inner diameter (ID) to your barb fitting's OD. For example, a 16mm ID hose (≈5/8") fits a 16mm barb. A 25mm ID hose (≈1") fits a standard 1" barb fitting. Always measure your fitting before ordering — if you're between sizes, size up for a snug push-fit. Common conversions: 19mm ≈ 3/4", 32mm ≈ 1-1/4", 50mm ≈ 2".

Braided wire reinforced PVC hoses of this type generally handle working pressures of 6–12 bar (87–174 psi), depending on the diameter and wall thickness. Smaller diameters typically support higher pressures; larger bores have lower ratings. Contact us with your specific size and application to confirm the pressure rating before use in pressurized systems.

This hose can be used outdoors for water transfer and irrigation applications. However, standard PVC is generally not UV-stabilized for prolonged direct sunlight exposure — extended outdoor use may cause the material to become brittle over time. For permanent outdoor installations, consider routing the hose through conduit or shading it. Short-term outdoor use is typically fine.

Yes, this hose is generally suitable for light fuel transfer including diesel and petroleum products. The PVC compound resists swelling from common fuels. It is not recommended for prolonged contact with aggressive solvents, concentrated acids, or aromatic hydrocarbons. For critical fuel applications, confirm chemical compatibility with your specific fluid before use.

This hose is designed for use with standard metric barb (hose tail) fittings that match the listed inner diameter. The flexible PVC body stretches slightly over the barb for a secure push-fit connection. Always use an appropriately sized hose clamp to prevent the hose from pulling off under pressure. The hose is not designed for threaded compression fittings.

Use a sharp utility knife or dedicated hose cutter for a clean, square cut. Place the hose on a flat surface and cut in a single firm stroke — avoid sawing motions that can fray the wire braid. Each variant is sold as 1 meter (≈39.4"). For longer runs, order multiple units and join with a barb coupler and hose clamps.

Flexible PVC hoses of this construction typically operate reliably between -5°C and +60°C (23°F to 140°F). Below -5°C the PVC may stiffen and become less flexible. Above 60°C the material may soften and lose pressure resistance. This hose is not suitable for steam or hot water above 60°C.
