Product Information

Full details

This VidaXL Flat Hose is designed for users needing a reliable solution for transporting water, particularly under high pressure, making it ideal for both domestic and commercial applications. Its key benefit is its robust construction, ensuring resilience and preventing kinks for unimpeded water flow. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, meaning it may require specific connectors not always included by default. The hose is constructed from durable PVC and polyester, featuring spiral plies and longitudinal threads for enhanced strength and flexibility, along with a smooth lining to prevent crushing and blockages, and it conveniently coils for easy storage.

What is the maximum working pressure of this hose?

The hose has a working pressure of 3 bar and a burst pressure of 9 bar.

Can this hose be used for drinking water?

While the hose is made of PVC, it is primarily designed for general water transport and high-pressure applications. It is not specifically rated or certified for potable water use.

What is included in the delivery?

The delivery contains one 25m blue flat hose and two hose clamps.

How should I store the hose when not in use?

The hose can be rolled into a coil for easy storage. It is recommended to store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight after ensuring it is completely drained.

What is the diameter of the hose?

The diameter of the hose is 3 inches (76mm).

Is this hose suitable for gardening?

Yes, it is suitable for gardening, especially for large areas or when a high volume of water needs to be transported efficiently.

Do I need any special tools to connect this hose?

You will need hose clamps to secure the hose to your water source or any fittings you connect to it. The hose itself does not require assembly.

Troubleshooting

Hose does not deliver water

Check that the water source is on and providing adequate pressure. Ensure connections are secure and there are no kinks or blockages in the hose. Verify that the pump (if used) is functioning correctly.

Hose appears to be leaking

Inspect all connection points for a secure fit and ensure hose clamps are tightened properly. Examine the hose length for any visible tears or punctures and repair or replace as necessary.

Reduced water flow or pressure

Confirm the working pressure is within the hose's limits (3 bar). Check for any internal obstructions or kinks. Ensure the diameter of connected fittings is not restricting flow.

Hose is difficult to coil

Ensure all water has been fully drained from the hose. If the hose has been stored under tension or in extreme temperatures, allow it to rest in a more moderate environment to regain flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: While assembly is not required for the hose itself, ensure you have appropriate hose clamps to secure connections to your water source and any attached fittings. The hose is designed to be used with standard 3-inch (76mm) diameter fittings.

Compatibility: This hose is compatible with water pumps and sources capable of delivering water at up to 3 bar working pressure. It can handle burst pressures up to 9 bar. Ensure any connectors or adapters used are rated for the hose's diameter and working pressure.

Care: To prolong the life of your flat hose, avoid dragging it over sharp or abrasive surfaces. After use, drain the water completely before coiling it for storage. Store the hose in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Periodically inspect the hose for any signs of wear or damage.
