You've probably used dozens of hoses, some cheap, some expensive, and everything in between. If you've tried the Steel Wire UV Resistant Water Hose, you'll likely be pleasantly surprised: It won't turn brittle in the harsh midday sun like many other hoses. It's a durable PVC water hose.
Product Overview
PVC Steel Wire Hose is a flexible hose composed of a high-strength PVC inner layer and a spiral steel wire reinforcement layer, primarily used for transporting water, air, and other non-corrosive fluids. Its design balances flexibility and pressure resistance, making it suitable for medium- to low-pressure applications in industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, and construction.
Key Features:
◇ Structural Stability: The smooth PVC inner layer reduces fluid resistance, while the outer spiral steel wire prevents collapse or deformation.
◇ Lightweight and Durable: Lighter than metal hoses, making it easier to handle and install, while maintaining good pressure resistance.
◇ Compatible Media: Suitable for non-corrosive substances like water, air, and dust.
Notes:
Recommended operating temperature ranges from -10°C to +60°C. Avoid extreme environments.
Prolonged exposure to UV rays may accelerate outer layer degradation. For outdoor use, opt for UV-resistant models.
Structure and Material Composition
The durability of PVC Steel Wire Hose stems from its layered design, combining different materials for stable performance:
Layer | Material | Function |
Inner Layer | Food-grade PVC (optional) | Smooth interior to prevent residue buildup and clogging |
Reinforcement | High-carbon steel wire spiral | Provides pressure resistance and prevents twisting |
Outer Layer | Wear-resistant PVC | Protects the steel wire layer, extending lifespan |
Material Properties (Bullet Points):
◇ PVC Inner Layer:
Complies with certain hygiene standards (e.g., requires specific certification for potable water transport).
Anti-adhesion design, suitable for fluids with small particles (e.g., slurry).
◇ Steel Wire Reinforcement:
Optimized wire spacing balances flexibility and pressure resistance.
High-carbon steel resists rust, but inspect regularly in humid environments.
◇ Outer Protection:
Some models include UV inhibitors for short-term outdoor use.
Surface can be printed with labels for easy identification.
Steel Wire UV Resistant Water Hose, a durable hose featuring a transparent body with embedded steel wires for strength and resistance to UV rays, suitable for various water - related applications.
Suitable Applications and Limitations
◇ Primary Use Cases:
Industrial Ventilation: Factory exhaust, dust collection (ensure no spark or static risks).
Agricultural Irrigation: Transporting water, fertilizer solutions (avoid contact with sharp tools).
Construction Drainage: Temporary drainage, concrete pumping (not for long-term burial).
◇ Not Recommended For:
Transporting fuels, or chemical solvents (may cause PVC swelling).
Prolonged exposure to high temperatures (e.g., steam pipelines).
High-pressure systems
Installation and Operation Guidelines
Key Steps and Recommendations (Bullet Points):
Pre-Installation Checks:
Inspect the hose for damage, exposed wires, or deformities.
Use properly sized fittings and clamps to prevent leaks.
Bending and Layout:
Minimum bending radius is 3x the hose diameter to avoid wire breakage.
In cold temperatures, flexibility decreases—adjust angles slowly.
Maintenance and Storage:
Clean residue (e.g., sediment) after use to prevent buildup.
Store coiled in a cool, dry place; avoid sharp folds.
Common Issues and Solutions
Q: Are minor surface cracks safe?
A: If cracks don’t penetrate the steel layer, temporary use is possible, but replace soon to prevent rupture.
A: Wire protrusion typically results from:
Mechanical damage: Impact from sharp objects or excessive bending.
Abrasion: Dragging over rough surfaces wears down the outer PVC.
Material fatigue: Long-term stress or UV degradation.
Solutions:
Immediately replace hoses with exposed wires to avoid injury or leaks.
For prevention:
Use protective sleeves in high-abrasion areas.
Avoid sharp bends near connectors.
Store properly to prevent crushing.
Minor surface abrasion without wire exposure may not affect functionality but should be monitored.
Q: Can PVC Steel Wire Hose be used for hot water transportation?
A: This hose is not designed for high-temperature fluids. Its standard operating range is -10°C to +60°C. While it may briefly tolerate warm water (e.g., below 60°C), prolonged exposure to hot water can soften the PVC layer, reducing pressure resistance. For hot water applications (e.g., above 60°C), consider thermoplastic or rubber hoses specifically rated for higher temperatures. Always check the manufacturer's temperature specifications before use.
Selection Guide and Specifications
Diameter (Inches) | Recommended Use |
1/2" - 1" | Household vacuums, small drains |
1.5" - 3" | Agricultural irrigation, industrial ventilation |
4" - 8" | Construction drainage, large suction |
Selection Tips:
For particle-laden fluids, choose models with thickened inner layers.
Outdoor use: Prioritize UV-resistant outer layers or provide shade protection.
