What is the burst pressure of a Magic Hose Pipe?
May 21, 2025
Hey there, folks! As a supplier of Magic Hose Pipes, I often get asked about the burst pressure of these nifty hoses. So, I thought I'd take a few minutes to break it down for you and give you a better understanding of what it means and why it matters.
First off, let's talk about what burst pressure actually is. In simple terms, burst pressure is the maximum amount of pressure a hose can withstand before it bursts or fails. It's an important factor to consider when choosing a hose, especially if you're going to be using it for high-pressure applications like watering large gardens, filling swimming pools, or washing your car.
Now, when it comes to Magic Hose Pipes, the burst pressure can vary depending on a few different factors. One of the main factors is the length of the hose. Generally speaking, the longer the hose, the lower the burst pressure. This is because the pressure drops as the water travels through the hose, so a longer hose will experience more pressure loss than a shorter one.

Another factor that can affect the burst pressure of a Magic Hose Pipe is the diameter of the hose. A wider hose will typically have a higher burst pressure than a narrower one, as it can handle more water flow and pressure without bursting.
The material the hose is made of also plays a role in its burst pressure. Magic Hose Pipes are usually made of a combination of materials, such as rubber, PVC, and elastic yarn. These materials are designed to be strong and flexible, which helps to increase the hose's burst pressure and durability.
So, what is the typical burst pressure of a Magic Hose Pipe? Well, it can vary depending on the specific model and brand, but most Magic Hose Pipes have a burst pressure of around 300 to 600 PSI (pounds per square inch). This is more than enough for most household and gardening applications, but if you need a hose for more heavy-duty use, you may want to look for one with a higher burst pressure.
It's important to note that the burst pressure is not the same as the working pressure. The working pressure is the maximum amount of pressure that the hose is designed to handle on a regular basis. It's usually lower than the burst pressure to ensure that the hose doesn't fail under normal use.
When using a Magic Hose Pipe, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines to ensure that you're using it safely and correctly. This includes not exceeding the working pressure, avoiding kinks and twists in the hose, and storing the hose properly when not in use.
Now, let's talk about why the burst pressure of a Magic Hose Pipe matters. As I mentioned earlier, if you're using the hose for high-pressure applications, you need to make sure that it can handle the pressure without bursting. A burst hose can not only be dangerous, but it can also cause damage to your property and waste a lot of water.
In addition, a hose with a higher burst pressure is generally more durable and long-lasting than one with a lower burst pressure. This means that you'll get more use out of your hose and won't have to replace it as often, which can save you money in the long run.
So, if you're in the market for a new Magic Hose Pipe, make sure to consider the burst pressure and choose a hose that can handle the pressure you need. And if you have any questions or need help choosing the right hose for your needs, don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'm here to help!
Now, let's take a look at some of the different types of Magic Hose Pipes we offer. One of our most popular products is the Magic Hose Pipe 50ft.

Another great option is the Expandable Hose with Elastic Yarn. This hose is designed to expand when water flows through it, which makes it more flexible and easier to use. It also has a burst pressure of around 300 PSI, which is still plenty for most applications.
In conclusion, the burst pressure of a Magic Hose Pipe is an important factor to consider when choosing a hose. It determines how much pressure the hose can handle before it bursts, and it can affect the hose's durability and lifespan. By choosing a hose with a high burst pressure and following the manufacturer's instructions, you can ensure that you're using your hose safely and effectively.
