PVC Fire Hose
PVC fire hose in this range is a polyester-reinforced, PVC-lined layflat hose for water discharge. It rolls flat when empty for transport and storage. Applications include irrigation, construction dewatering, industrial water transfer, and fire-water delivery with a hose assembly specified for that service.
Available inner diameters span 19–400 mm (nominal ¾–16 in.), with standard lengths of 10–30 meters and custom lengths and colors. The published range covers multiple configurations: 8–40 bar (0.8–4.0 MPa) working pressure and 24–120 bar (2.4–12.0 MPa) burst pressure. These are range values, not a rating for every diameter. Burst pressure is a destructive test value, not an operating pressure.
For an OEM or distributor quotation, specify the application, hose diameter and length, required working pressure, water temperature, coupling dimensions, quantity, and destination market.
The hose combines polyester filament reinforcement with a smooth, flexible PVC lining. The reinforcement carries pressure loads, while the lining provides the water passage. A smooth bore helps limit friction loss; actual pressure loss still depends on flow rate, diameter, length, and fittings.
The layflat construction can be rolled for storage after draining. This is a discharge hose, not a hard suction hose for drafting water under vacuum. Choose the diameter for the required flow and check the complete hose assembly against the pump pressure and operating conditions.
Working pressure and burst pressure must be matched to the selected diameter and construction. The assembly rating is limited by its lowest-rated hose, coupling, or attachment. The published temperature range is -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to 140°F); it does not mean the maximum pressure applies throughout that range. Specify water temperature and outdoor conditions when selecting a configuration.
Coupling options include NH (NST), BS336, GOST, and Storz. Match the coupling size, thread or lug dimensions, gasket, and pressure rating to the equipment; the coupling family alone does not establish interchangeability. Compare other constructions in our fire hose range.
- Polyester reinforcement and PVC lining: A reinforced water passage in a collapsible hose construction.
- Pressure options: Published working-pressure range of 8–40 bar and burst-pressure range of 24–120 bar across configurations; select the rating for the required diameter and assembly.
- Compact storage: Layflat construction rolls for transport and storage after draining.
- Size and length options: 19–400 mm inner-diameter range, standard 10–30 meter lengths, and custom lengths and colors.
- Coupling options: NH (NST), BS336, GOST, and Storz, specified by size and connection dimensions.
- OEM specification: Supply the application, operating pressure and temperature, fittings, quantity, and market requirements for configuration selection.
Fire-Water Delivery
For hydrant or portable-pump water delivery, select the hose and couplings for the required working pressure, handling conditions, and applicable fire-service specification. General-purpose discharge hose is not automatically suitable as a structural firefighting attack line.
Agricultural Irrigation
Water transfer for irrigation systems, with hose diameter selected for the required flow and run length.
Construction and Industrial Dewatering
Pump discharge from drainage pits and water-transfer lines. Specify suspended solids and any chemical exposure so lining compatibility can be assessed.
Quarry and Mining Water Transfer
Water supply, drainage, and dust-suppression lines where operating pressure and handling conditions match the selected configuration. PVC construction alone does not establish flame resistance or suitability for underground fire-protection service.

| Structure | Polyester filament reinforcement; smooth flexible PVC lining |
| Inner Diameter Range | 19–400 mm (nominal ¾–16 in.); range across configurations |
| Working Pressure | 8–40 bar (0.8–4.0 MPa), depending on configuration; match the rating to diameter, construction, and operating temperature |
| Burst Pressure | 24–120 bar (2.4–12.0 MPa), depending on configuration; destructive test value, not an operating pressure |
| Operating Temperature | Published range: -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to 140°F); pressure capability and flexibility depend on configuration and temperature |
| Available Lengths | 10–30 meters standard; custom lengths available |
| Color Options | Red, white, blue, yellow; custom colors available |
| Hose Weight | Published range: approximately 0.18–2.5 kg/m, depending on diameter and construction |
| Coupling Options | NH (NST), BS336, GOST, Storz; specify size, connection dimensions, gasket, and assembly pressure rating |
| Packaging | Coiled in shrink wrap; plastic woven bag or carton; palletized |
| Testing and Specification | Identify the applicable hose/assembly specification, test method, edition, and configuration in the purchase requirements |
| Specification / Test | Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| ISO 9001 | A quality-management-system standard; it does not establish a fire-hose product rating or certification |
| ISO 1402 | Hydrostatic testing methods for rubber and plastics hoses and hose assemblies; reports should identify the tested configuration and conditions |
| ISO 4671 | Methods for measuring hose dimensions and hose-assembly lengths; not a flexibility test |
| Fire-Service Requirements | Specify the required standard and edition for the selected assembly. NFPA 1961 fire-hose requirements were consolidated into NFPA 1960; this is not a blanket certification claim for the range |
