FITT PVC Transparent Hose 4x7mm

The FITT transparent PVC hose, featuring a 4mm inner diameter and 7mm outer diameter, is a reliable and flexible solution designed for the efficient transfer of fluids in both domestic and industrial settings. Constructed from high-quality polyvinyl chloride, this hose provides exceptional clarity, allowing for constant visual monitoring of the liquid flow. Its lightweight and pliable nature ensures ease of handling and installation in various configurations.

Advantages

This PVC hose offers significant benefits due to its transparent design, which facilitates immediate detection of air bubbles, blockages, or contamination within the fluid line. The material is inherently durable and resistant to a wide range of common chemicals, ensuring a long service life under normal operating conditions. Its flexibility allows for tight bending radii without kinking, making it highly adaptable to complex routing requirements in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Low-pressure fluid transfer systems
• Laboratory and scientific equipment setups
• Aquarium and hydroponic water circulation
• General liquid transport in domestic DIY projects
• Visual monitoring of fluid flow in industrial processes

When it may not be suitable

This hose is not intended for high-pressure applications, as it is rated for a maximum working pressure of 1 Bar. It should not be used for transporting corrosive acids, strong solvents, or high-temperature fluids that exceed the thermal limits of standard PVC material.

Key specifications

• Inner diameter: 4 mm
• Outer diameter: 7 mm
• Material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• Maximum working pressure: 1 Bar
• Total length: 100 m

How to use

To use the hose, measure and cut the required length using a sharp utility knife or specialized hose cutter to ensure a clean, square edge. Secure the hose onto the appropriate barbed fittings or connectors using suitable hose clamps to prevent leaks, especially if the system is under slight pressure. Ensure the hose is not stretched or subjected to sharp bends that could restrict flow or cause premature wear.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 4mm inner diameter matches your existing connectors
• Ensure the 1 Bar pressure limit is sufficient for your specific application
• Confirm the chemical compatibility of PVC with the fluid being transported
• Check if the 100-meter length is appropriate for your installation needs

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, avoid exposing the hose to direct, prolonged sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations. Periodically inspect the hose for signs of hardening, discoloration, or cracking, and replace it if any degradation is observed to maintain system integrity.
