Anti-UV 3 Inch Layflat Water Hose With Coupling

Product Overview

PVC Layflat Hose is a lightweight, flexible, and easy-to-store hose widely used in agricultural irrigation, drainage, and temporary water supply at construction sites. Made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), this hose offers excellent flexibility and abrasion resistance, making it suitable for temporary or seasonal water transfer needs.

Compared to traditional rubber hoses or rigid PVC pipes, PVC Layflat Hose can be folded flat when not in use, saving storage space and facilitating transportation. Its flat design makes it easy to lay out, especially in situations requiring frequent movement or temporary installation.

This hose is suitable for transferring clean or slightly turbid water but is not recommended for high-temperature liquids or fluids containing sharp debris. Its lightweight design allows for easy handling by a single person, making it ideal for various environments such as farms, gardens, and construction sites.

Product Features

(1) Lightweight and Easy to Transport

PVC Layflat Hose is lighter than traditional rubber hoses, making it easier to carry and lay out, particularly in scenarios requiring frequent relocation, such as farm irrigation or temporary drainage.

(2) Foldable for Compact Storage

After use, the hose can be flattened and folded, occupying minimal space for convenient storage and transport. This feature is ideal for seasonal use or temporary projects.

(3) Excellent Flexibility

The hose bends easily without kinking, allowing it to adapt to various terrains such as slopes or ditches.

(4) Wear and Pressure Resistance

While not suitable for high-pressure applications, the hose offers decent abrasion resistance for standard water transfer tasks, enduring moderate ground friction and pulling.

(5) Easy Installation

No specialized tools are required—simply unroll the hose and connect it to a water source for immediate use, making it ideal for quick deployment.

(6) Cost-Effective

Compared to other types of hoses, PVC Layflat Hose is more affordable, offering a budget-friendly solution for reliable water transfer.

Usage and Maintenance

(1) Proper Installation

When laying out the hose, keep it as straight as possible to minimize water flow resistance. Avoid sharp bends to prevent deformation.

(2) Avoid Sharp Objects

Keep the hose away from sharp rocks, metal debris, or other objects that could puncture or damage it, especially in construction sites or rocky terrains.

(3) Regular Cleaning

After use, rinse the hose with clean water to remove sediment or debris, preventing buildup that could affect future use.

(4) Storage Tips

Drain all water and store the hose folded or rolled in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or high temperatures to prevent material degradation.

(5) Inspection and Replacement

Regularly check for cracks, punctures, or excessive wear. Replace or repair damaged sections promptly to maintain performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How to prevent the hose from tangling during use?
A: Lay it out straight and avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling to minimize tangling.

Q2: What water pressure can the hose withstand?
A: It is designed for low-pressure applications. Refer to product specifications or consult the supplier for pressure limits.

Q3: How to connect the hose to a water pump?
A: Standard hose connectors or clamps can be used to ensure a secure, leak-free connection.

Q4: Will the hose crack in freezing temperatures?
A: PVC material may become brittle in cold weather. Drain the hose and store it indoors during winter to prevent freezing damage.
