PVC Hose

What is PVC Hose?

PVC Hose is constructed from a thermoplastic polymer that is created by polymerizing vinyl chloride. Yeah, that's a mouthful. It's just a lighter, more economical hose than rubber. It also is comprised of less petroleum than other polymer materials. PVC hoses have replaced rubber in many industrial applications and home consumer markets.

Types and Applications of Pvc Hose

PVC Hose is one of the most versatile and widely used types of hoses in the world. It has a wide range of applications, from gardening to industrial uses. PVC Hose comes in a variety of sizes, shapes, and materials to meet any need. Depending on the application, there are different types of PVC Hose that can be used. From reinforced hose for high-pressure applications to flexible hose for low-pressure uses, there is a PVC Hose for any need.

PVC was one of the first plastic pipes used to replace old copper pipes, is affordable, will not rust or corrode over time, and is the most popular choice for piping. PVC plastic is easy to work with, requires no welding or metal work, is versatile, and can be used with many different fittings and sizes.

PVC pipe is usually white, but it is also available in different colors and thicknesses and is marked differently on the pipe for specific uses. PVC pipe is typically used for the sink, toilet, and bathtub drain lines, as well as main water supply lines, irrigation pipes, and exhaust pipes.

 

PVC vs Polyurethane: Which Hose is Right for You?

 

 

Polyurethane (PU) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are both popular materials when it comes to hose. Both materials are forms of thermoplastic, which means that they will become pliable when they reach a certain temperature and harden again as they cool. They can also both be made in either a tinted or solid colour.

Despite their similarities, there are some key differences between PVC hose and polyurethane hose which makes them suited to different tasks.

PVC Hose
PVC hose can be used in food, dairy, irrigation and medical industries. However, its high corrosion resistance to chemicals and weathering mean that it can have many other applications. Our PVC formula is kink resistant and flexible, making it suitable for use in layflat hose. This helps with transportation and storage for added convenience. Generally, PVC more economical than its counterpart.
Available in either light, medium or heavy duty, it can also be reinforced. This makes PVC one of the most popular materials for hose and tubing.

Despite this, polyvinyl chloride hose does have its limits. It doesn't tend to perform as well with some chemicals, fluids and oils, and over time these substances can cause it to crack and harden. We offer selection of oil resistant PVC hose to cope with these demands, designed specifically to handle the suction and discharge of oils and gas with low aromatic content. For example, they are suited to kerosene, paraffin, tall oils etc.

Polyurethane Hose (PU)
Polyurethane hose provides the solution where PVC struggles, featuring excellent resistance to most petroleum-based chemicals. This makes it an ideal choice for use in most fuel lines, although testing might be necessary in some cases. Polyurethane hose can also handle much lower temperatures.

Polyurethane is also popular when the hose or tube will be placed under high pressure, as this thermoplastic tends to be more resistant to its effects than PVC. It can also stand its ground in terms of resistance to weathering and chemicals, meaning it can be used in many of the same industries.

One large difference between the two materials is that where PVC is tasteless, polyurethane could potentially transfer odours/tastes to the product flowing through it. It is more commonly used in tubing, with uses ranging from mining to nuclear power.

What other aspects should I consider when picking my hose?
Choosing the correct material for your hose is essential, however it is not the only aspect that you'll need to consider. For example, it is also important to think about the length that you'll require. You will also have to consider where it will be placed; will it go inside or outside and what conditions will it have to contend with?

 

How To Identify the Quality of Pvc Hose?
 

The main component of PVC hose is polyvinyl chloride. It is brightly colored, corrosion-resistant, stable and durable. However, plasticizers, anti-aging agents, etc. are added during the manufacturing process to enhance its heat resistance, toughness, ductility, etc., so its products usually do not store food and medicine. 

1

Weather resistance
The most direct way is to place the PVC pipe in a high-temperature and high-gloss place for a few days and observe the surface change rate. The smaller the surface change, the stronger the weather resistance of the PVC pipe.

2

Analyze the raw materials
Analyzing the raw material of PVC pipe requires specialized knowledge and equipment. But some simple inference methods are also useful. Compare the weight of two pipes with the same caliber, wall thickness and length. If the PVC hose has a higher weight, the calcium powder and impurity will be too much. And the raw material will be impure. Then we can see it is not a good quality PVC flex hose.

3

Look at the whiteness and color
If using too much bad and recycled materials during the production process, the finished pipe will turn black and yellow. While this will affect the quality of the flexible plastic hose.

4

View thickness
According to the pipe diameter rule, check if the wall thickness of the PVC pipe is uniform. If not, the PVC tube is not a good one. Because when working at high pressures, the hose may burst at the thin section.

5

Take the sample and throw it
If you have high requirements on property, you can hit the PVC pipe hard to check the toughness. A high quality PVC water hose is flexible. Thus if the hose breaks, it means there is too much calcium. Then it is not a good hose.

 

What is Needed to Hook a Garden Hose up to PVC Pipe?

PVC garden hose, also known as PVC water hose, simply hose, is mainly used for garden sprinkling, irrigation, and cleaning in daily life. Home or garden projects sometimes need to creatively solve a simple problem, for example, how to hook a garden hose up to PVC pipe?
Follow the helpful guidelines outlined below to connect correctly to avoid unnecessary damage to your garden hose.

Scene 1: No Adapter Required
Preparation & Requirements:
The inner diameter of the PVC hose should be smaller than the outer diameter of the rigid PVC pipe (about 1-1.5mm).

Heat the head of the plastic hose (hot air gun or hot water can be used), coat some soap or grease on the outer diameter of the rigid plastic pipe, and insert it into the head of the plastic hose.
Then, it can be locked with pipe clamp or low carbon galvanized steel wire.

Scene 2: With an Adapter
Step 1: Cut and Support the Pipe
Make a clean cut on the end of the PVC pipe with a hacksaw. (Note: If the pipe is sticking out from the siding of your house, leave at least 2 inches between the end of the pipe and the siding to allow room for the adapter. Keep your free hand out of the way of the saw while you're cutting.)
Deburr the end of the pipe with sandpaper or a file.
Secure the pipe to a solid surface, such as the house siding, using clamps. (Note: You normally only need to do this if the pipe is rising out of the ground.)

Step 2: Glue on the Adapter
Spread PVC primer on the outside of the end of the pipe and the inside of a male-threaded adapter. (Note: Apply the primer with the applicator that comes in the can. Use an adapter with a slip connection that fits the pipe and 3/4-inch pipe threads on the other end.)
Apply PVC glue to the outside of the pipe and inside of the adapter.
Slip the adapter onto the pipe and twist it 1/4 turn. (Note: Do this immediately — the glue sets quickly. Hold the adapter in place for 10 seconds to prevent it from backing off.)

Step 3: Screw on the Faucet and Attach the Hose
Wrap plumbing tape clockwise around the threads of the male adapter. (Note: This ensures a waterproof seal.)
Screw the faucet onto the adapter and tighten it as much as you can by hand. (Note: Use a wrench to tighten it more. Hold the pipe steady with adjustable pliers while to tighten the faucet to prevent the pipe from breaking.)
Turn off the faucet, turn on the water and check for leaks. (Note: Tighten the faucet more if water sprays from the connection.)
Screw the hose connector to the faucet. (Note: Tighten the connector hand-tight, then turn on the faucet.)
