Our 38mm (1½ inch) suction and delivery hose bridges the small domestic sizes and the larger contractor bores, matching the 1½ inch ports common on mid-range submersible and dirty-water pumps. The reinforced PVC and nylon spiral-helix maintain a full bore under suction and around tight turns, keeping flow rates up where layflat hose would collapse or kink.
It is a dependable all-rounder for cellar and basement clearance, garden and pond emptying, and light to medium site drainage where hoses get moved around and stepped on. At 0.52 kg per metre it remains easy to handle, can be buried for fixed runs, and works on both suction and delivery sides. Rated to 6 bar and supplied in 6m, 10m, 15m, 20m and 30m coils.

Layflat hose is very affordable but can kink. Depending on your use, you may be better using a reinforced suction delivery hose for your needs.
