Water Hoses and Layflat Hoses

To irrigate a vegetable garden and garden, you can use expandable hoses, extendable watering wands, capillary pipes and main pipes for the distribution line. The expandable hose is handy for occasional use, while the main pipe carries water from the point of supply to the smaller lines. Choose the diameter according to the flow of the tap or pump supplying the system.

The diameter determines how much water passes in a given time: a larger diameter gives more flow with lower pressure losses, but is bulkier. For motor pumps and pressure washers, use hoses suited to the working pressure declared by the manufacturer. Consider the total length, because every metre of pipe reduces the pressure available at the outlet.

PN indicates the nominal pressure of the pipe, that is the working pressure it is designed for at a reference temperature. PN6 is suitable for low-pressure uses, such as drip irrigation, while PN16 withstands higher pressures, for example in site or industrial systems. Do not use a pipe with a lower PN than the system requires.

Fuel hose carries petrol or diesel from the tank to the engine. The collection includes the black Technobel fuel hose, in the 8.0x14 size, and the tricofuel hose. The hose should be chosen for the type of fuel and for the diameter specified by the engine manufacturer, and replaced when it hardens or shows cracks.

Drinker pipe carries water to the drinkers in barns and livestock farms, while the curved drain pipes carry away waste liquids. If the water is intended for animals, choose a non-toxic pipe as stated in the datasheet. Outdoors, check UV resistance. Diameter and length depend on the distance of the drinkers and the system pressure.

The hose with a galvanised steel spiral does not collapse and keeps its diameter even under pressure and in bends, thanks to its reinforced structure. It is suited to situations where the hose is subject to twisting or mechanical stress, such as on site or in the workshop. Check the declared maximum pressure and use fittings of the same size to prevent leaks.

A pipe for domestic use serves gardens, terraces, washing and household systems, at moderate pressures. One for industrial use is designed for building sites, plants and heavier-duty processes. When choosing, working pressure, fluid temperature, abrasion resistance and, where needed, compatibility with drinking water all matter.
