Our 50mm (2 inch) suction and delivery hose is the workhorse of the range and our best-selling contractor size, matched to the 2 inch ports found on most site dewatering and surface-mounted pumps. On a surface pump the inlet pulls water up by vacuum, so the hose must hold its shape under that load: the nylon spiral-helix reinforcement does exactly that, where layflat hose would suck flat and block flow.
It is built for the realities of site work, with a shock-resistant PVC wall that shrugs off being driven over, dragged and abraded, making it equally at home in hire fleets. Use it on suction lines drawing from tanks, ponds and sumps, and on discharge runs that climb, bend or get buried. Rated to 4.5 bar and available 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.
Suction delivery hose is ideal for pumping up stairs or over obstacles.
