Product Description
Clear, High-Flex PVC Suction Hose for Transfer & Vacuum Applications
This ultra flexible PVC suction hose is designed for applications
where strong suction, tight bend radius, and hose visibility matter. Made from
clear, flexible PVC with a rigid PVC helix, this PVC suction hose maintains its
shape under vacuum while remaining easy to handle, route, and install in
demanding environments.
The clear PVC construction allows operators to visually monitor flow and
material movement, helping detect blockages, air pockets, or inconsistencies
during operation. Whether used in industrial transfer, marine pumping, or
material conveying, this clear PVC suction hose delivers reliable performance
where flexibility and durability are required.
Product Overview
This clear PVC suction hose is manufactured using flexible PVC
supported by a thick, rigid grey PVC helix. The helix provides structural
strength, allowing the hose to maintain its round profile during suction while
remaining easy to route around equipment and obstacles.
Interior: Smooth PVC liner resistant to abrasion and mild
chemicals
Exterior: Corrugated PVC for improved flexibility, abrasion
resistance, and weather durability
Visibility: Clear PVC wall enables quick identification of
blockages, flow changes, or material movement
For sizes 4 inches and larger, a high-molecular-weight PVC compound is used to
enhance wear resistance and cold-temperature flexibility, making this
high-flex PVC suction hose suitable for colder operating environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of applications is this PVC suction hose used for?
This hose is used for suction and transfer applications involving liquids and
lightweight solids where flexibility and flow visibility are important.
Is this hose suitable for vacuum applications?
Yes. It is rated for near full vacuum performance, up to 29" Hg depending
on hose size.
Can I see material flowing through the hose?
Yes. The clear PVC construction allows full visibility of hose contents during
operation.
Is this hose flexible in cold temperatures?
Yes. Larger sizes are rated down to -40°C, while smaller sizes perform down to
-20°C.
Does hose size affect temperature performance?
Yes. Sizes 1"–3" are rated from -20°C to +65°C, while sizes
4" and larger use a high-molecular-weight PVC compound and are rated
down to -40°C, providing improved cold-weather flexibility.
Can this PVC suction hose handle lightweight solids?
Yes. This hose is commonly used to convey ice, wood shavings, and PVC pellets,
in addition to water and other compatible fluids, thanks to its smooth interior
and rigid helix support.
