Our 80mm (3 inch) suction and delivery hose is a popular high-flow size, matched to the 3 inch ports on construction dewatering pumps and many petrol or diesel engine-driven pumps. Moving large volumes means the suction side sees real vacuum load, and the nylon spiral-helix reinforcement holds the full 3 inch bore open so the pump can draw freely without the hose collapsing.
It is made for demanding site conditions: a shock-resistant PVC wall that copes with being driven over, dragged across rubble and left out in all weathers, which also makes it a favourite for hire fleets. Use it on suction lift from rivers, lagoons and excavations, and on heavy discharge runs that can be buried between pump and outfall. Rated to 4 bar and available in 6m, 10m, 15m, 20m and 30m coils.
