FAQs

What is the maximum pressure the hose can withstand?

The hose has a working pressure of 3 bar and a burst pressure of 9 bar. It is important not to exceed the working pressure for safe and effective use.

Does the hose come with connectors?

The delivery contains 1 x Flat hose and 2 x Hose clamps. Standard tap connectors or hose fittings may be required separately depending on your water source.

Can this hose be used for drinking water?

The product description does not specify if the material is food-grade. It is generally recommended to use hoses specifically rated for potable water if intended for drinking water applications.

How should I store the hose during winter?

It is best to store the hose indoors in a dry, temperature-controlled environment. Ensure it is completely drained and rolled loosely to prevent damage from freezing.

What is the diameter of the hose?

The diameter of this hose is 1.5 inches (approximately 38mm).

Is this hose suitable for use with a pressure washer?

While the hose has a working pressure of 3 bar, many pressure washers operate at significantly higher pressures. Check the pressure requirements of your pressure washer; this hose may only be suitable for low-pressure washing applications.

Troubleshooting

Hose is leaking at the connection point.

Ensure the hose clamp is tightened securely around the fitting and the hose. Check that the fitting is the correct size for the hose diameter (1.5").

Water flow is restricted or weak.

Check for kinks or twists in the hose. Ensure the hose is fully unrolled and not blocked internally. Verify that the water source pressure does not exceed the hose's working pressure limit (3 bar).

Hose appears to be weakening or cracking.

This may indicate prolonged exposure to UV rays or extreme temperatures. Ensure the hose is stored properly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider replacing the hose if damage is significant.

Hose is difficult to roll or unroll.

Ensure the hose is completely dry and free of debris. If stiff in cold weather, allow it to warm up slightly before attempting to roll or unroll.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This flat hose requires no assembly. To use, simply connect one end to your water source using a compatible tap connector and the other end to your desired outlet or nozzle. Two hose clamps are included to ensure a secure and leak-free connection at both ends. Ensure the clamps are tightened sufficiently.

Compatibility: The hose features a 1.5" (38mm) diameter, making it compatible with standard 1.5" hose fittings and accessories. It is designed for use with water sources providing up to 3 bar of working pressure.

Care: To prolong the life of your flat hose, it is recommended to clean it regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Store the hose rolled up in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid dragging the hose over sharp objects or rough surfaces to prevent punctures or abrasion. After use, drain the hose completely before storing.
