The hose is an important component in modern industry. The hose is mainly used as a protective tube for wires, cables, automation instrument signal wires and civilian shower hoses, with specifications ranging from 3mm to 150mm. Small-diameter hoses (inner diameter 3mm-25mm) are mainly used for the protection of sensor circuits for precision optical scales and industrial sensor circuits.
Lay flat hose pipes are reinforced PVC hoses that can be folded up for storage purposes. These types of hoses are mainly used for irrigation and water supply. However, flat hose pipes are also popular in the construction industry because they are flexible, wear-resistant, and lightweight. Lay flat hose pipes have two main types: heavy-duty flat hose pipes and medium-duty flat hose pipes. As their names suggest, heavy-duty flat hose pipes are specifically designed to withstand harsh pressure, while medium-duty flat hose pipes are perfect for less challenging tasks.
A male and female connector is required to connect flat hose pipes. Typically, the female end is connected to the water outlet/pump, while the male thread is connected to the nozzle. It is important to purchase durable and high-quality lay flat hose pipe connectors to fully utilize your investment and ensure worry-free use.
PVC flat hose pipes are a very valuable equipment used by multiple industries to accomplish countless tasks.
In the agricultural field, flat hose pipes are used to irrigate crops. Lay flat hose pipes are particularly effective in completing this task because they have a longer lifespan (they do not corrode when transporting liquid fertilizers and other chemicals), are flexible, and easy to transport.
PVC flat hose pipes can save lives. Firefighters use them to transport water to extinguish raging fires, and flat hose pipes are an indispensable part of fire safety equipment. According to the International Fire Training Center (IFTC), flat hose pipes are the preferred hoses for fire departments for the following three reasons:
First, lay flat hose pipe is reliable and can be operated safely without worrying about bursting or breaking. It can provide a constant pressure of water through the hose without any kinks reducing water flow. Second, flat hose pipe is easy to store. Lay flat hose pipes are 100% compressible and can be stored in compact spaces. Third, flat hose pipe is durable and have anti-wear capability, able to withstand heavy use.
