Hose & Tubing Helper
Not sure which hose or tubing range you need? Choose the job or application and we will suggest the best category to start with, plus other useful routes where more than one range may fit.
Hose for hydraulic machinery or higher-pressure use
Start with hydraulic hose for plant and fluid-power systems. Reinforced hose may suit lower-pressure general applications where extra strength is still needed.
Hose for drawing water into a pump
Suction hose is designed to resist collapse on the inlet side of a pump. General PVC hose may still be useful for lighter transfer work.
Hose for water discharge, drainage or transfer
Layflat hose is usually the best route for high-volume pump discharge. PVC and reinforced hose cover smaller or more general transfer jobs.
Hose for engine cooling, heaters or hot applications
Radiator and heater hose is the main route for cooling systems. Silicone hose is useful where greater heat resistance or flexible formed connections are needed.
Hose for compressors, air tools or workshop airlines
Choose by how the airline will be used: direct tool supply, a compressor-specific replacement, or a coiled/retractable storage setup.
General hose for water, air or other fluids
PVC hose is the broadest starting point. Reinforced hose is the better route where the job needs extra strength or pressure resistance.
Small tubing for pneumatic controls or compact pipe runs
Nylon hose is the main route for small-bore pneumatic and control lines. The specialist range may help where another tubing material or format is needed.
Specialist hose or protection for an existing hose
Use the specialist hose range for unusual applications, or hose protectors where the existing hose needs guarding against abrasion, wear or impact.
