The FITT PVC Clear Hose with a 6mm inner diameter and 9mm outer diameter is a reliable solution for fluid transfer in various environments. Engineered from high-quality, flexible polyvinyl chloride, this hose provides exceptional clarity, allowing for constant visual monitoring of the liquid flow. Its lightweight and pliable construction ensures ease of handling and installation in tight spaces, making it a versatile component for non-pressurized systems.
Advantages
The primary benefit of this PVC hose is its high level of transparency, which is essential for applications where observing the fluid movement is critical. The material is resistant to common environmental factors and offers sufficient flexibility to prevent kinking during standard operation. Its smooth internal surface promotes efficient flow, while the durable PVC composition ensures a long service life in appropriate conditions. The hose is easy to cut to the desired length, providing flexibility for custom setups.
Suitable for
- Laboratory fluid transfer and sampling
- Visual monitoring of liquid flow in industrial equipment
- Domestic drainage or gravity-fed water systems
- Aquarium maintenance and water circulation
- Low-pressure fluid transport in hobbyist projects
When it may not be suitable
This hose is not designed for high-pressure applications, as it is rated for a maximum working pressure of 1 Bar. It should not be used for transporting corrosive chemicals, fuels, or oils that may degrade the PVC material over time.
Key specifications
- Inner diameter: 6 mm
- Outer diameter: 9 mm
- Material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
- Maximum working pressure: 1 Bar
- Total length: 100 m
How to use
To use the hose, measure the required length for your specific application and cut it using a sharp utility knife or hose cutter to ensure a clean edge. Secure the ends using appropriate hose clamps if necessary to prevent leaks, ensuring that the connection points are compatible with the 6mm inner diameter. When installing, avoid sharp bends that could restrict flow or cause the hose to kink.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the 6mm inner diameter matches your existing fittings
- Ensure the application does not exceed the 1 Bar pressure limit
- Check chemical compatibility if transporting liquids other than water
- Consider the total 100m length for your specific project requirements
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance and longevity, store the hose in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Regularly inspect the hose for signs of wear, hardening, or discoloration, and replace it if any structural integrity issues are detected.
