Home/Rubber & PVC Hoses/PVC Steel Wire Reinforced Clear Hose

PVC Steel Wire
Reinforced Clear Hose

Overview

PVC Steel Wire Reinforced Clear Hose is a transparent, flexible hose that incorporates a high-tensile steel wire helix embedded within the PVC walls. It is designed primarily for suction and discharge applications where visual monitoring of the conveyed fluid is beneficial. The hose's spiral wire reinforcement provides enhanced structural integrity to withstand vacuum pressures and light to moderate positive pressures.

Key Uses & Applications

Water Suction & Discharge

General water transfer for agriculture, construction, landscaping, and light industrial tasks
Ideal for pump suction lines where visibility of flow is beneficial (e.g., checking for blockages)

Food & Beverage (Non-FDA/Non-Pharmaceutical)

Suitable for raw water, light juices, or certain non-edible liquids in a food-processing environment when FDA-grade PVC is not required
Transparent walls allow operators to verify cleanliness and detect air pockets or contaminants

Chemical & Industrial Fluid Transfer

Handles mild chemicals, oils, and other industrial liquids where PVC compatibility is acceptable
Steel wire reinforcement helps maintain hose shape under suction conditions

Aquariums & Pond Systems

Often used in large aquarium setups, koi ponds, and aquaponics due to its clear construction and moderate pressure handling

Product Highlights

Transparent Construction

Allows for visual flow inspection, quick detection of blockages, and fluid level checks
Enhances safety by easily spotting contaminants or irregularities

Steel Wire Reinforced

High-tensile steel helix imbedded within the hose wall
Prevents kinking and collapsing under vacuum or suction
Provides stability under moderate positive pressure

Flexible & Lightweight

Easier to handle than rigid piping, enabling quick setup and repositioning in the field
Good bend radius for tight installation spaces

Smooth Inner Surface

Promotes efficient flow and reduces friction losses
Minimizes residue buildup for easier cleaning
