This Wolf® 3" (76mm) Reinforced Suction and Delivery Hose is for professionals and DIYers needing a reliable and flexible hose for various pumping applications. Its key benefit is its durability and light weight, making it easy to handle for both suction and delivery of water, light chemicals, and fertilisers. A potential caveat is its operating temperature limit, making it unsuitable for extreme heat or cold.

The hose can operate within a temperature range of -5°C to +60°C (23°F to 140°F).
This hose is designed for water and light chemicals/fertilisers. It is not recommended for fuel, oil, or other petroleum-based products.
The hose is supplied in standard lengths of 5 metres.
It is compatible with pumps that have a 3-inch (76mm) diameter connection for suction or discharge.
Rinse the hose thoroughly with clean water after each use, especially if transferring chemicals. Allow it to dry before storing.
Yes, you can connect multiple hoses using appropriate 3-inch (76mm) diameter fittings and clamps for longer reach.
While reinforced, this hose is best suited for water and light chemicals. It is not recommended for highly abrasive materials that could cause premature wear.
Gently uncoil the hose and ensure it is laid out straight. Avoid sharp bends during operation or storage.
Check that the hose is securely fastened to the pump fitting using an appropriate clamp. Ensure the fitting is clean and the hose is seated correctly.
Check for blockages inside the hose or at the ends. Ensure the hose is not kinked or damaged. Verify the pump is functioning correctly and providing adequate suction/pressure.
The hose's flexibility is reduced below its operating temperature. Allow it to warm up before use, or consider a hose rated for lower temperatures if frequent cold-weather use is required.
Setup: Ensure the hose is securely connected to your pump's inlet (suction) or outlet (discharge) port using appropriate clamps or fittings to prevent leaks. For suction use, ensure the end is submerged or properly primed. For discharge, ensure the other end is positioned correctly.
Compatibility: This hose is designed for use with pumps featuring a 3" (76mm) connection. It is compatible with water, and *light* chemicals and fertilisers. Always check chemical compatibility charts if unsure.
Care: After use, rinse the hose with clean water, especially if used with chemicals. Store the hose in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prolong its lifespan. Avoid kinking the hose during storage or operation.
