FITT PVC Hose 12/16 mm Clear 50m

The FITT PVC hose with a 12 mm inner diameter and 16 mm outer diameter is a high-quality, flexible solution designed for the reliable transfer of fluids. Its transparent construction allows for constant visual monitoring of the flow, ensuring that users can quickly identify any potential issues or air bubbles within the system. Supplied in a generous 50-meter roll, this hose provides ample length for extensive setups in various environments, combining durability with ease of handling.

Advantages

This PVC hose offers excellent flexibility, making it easy to route through tight spaces or around obstacles without kinking. The high-grade polyvinyl chloride material is resistant to common wear and tear, ensuring a long service life in standard operating conditions. Its clear design is particularly beneficial for applications where visual confirmation of fluid movement is critical for safety or process control. Furthermore, the smooth inner surface minimizes flow resistance, promoting efficient liquid transfer.

Suitable for

• Laboratory fluid transfer and sampling
• Aquarium maintenance and water circulation
• Low-pressure industrial fluid handling
• Domestic irrigation and drainage tasks
• General purpose liquid transport

When it may not be suitable

This hose is designed for low-pressure applications with a maximum working pressure of 1 Bar. It is not suitable for high-pressure systems, pneumatic tools, or the transport of aggressive chemicals that may degrade PVC material. Additionally, it should not be used for applications involving high temperatures or direct contact with potable water unless specifically certified for such use.

Key specifications

• Inner diameter: 12 mm
• Outer diameter: 16 mm
• Length: 50 m
• Material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• Maximum working pressure: 1 Bar

How to use

To use the FITT PVC hose, measure the required length and cut it using a sharp utility knife or specialized hose cutter to ensure a clean, square edge. Secure the hose onto your equipment fittings using appropriate hose clamps to prevent leaks, especially when working with pressurized systems. Ensure the hose is not stretched tightly between connection points, as this can cause stress on the fittings and the material itself.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 12 mm inner diameter matches your existing equipment fittings.
• Ensure the 1 Bar pressure limit is sufficient for your specific application.
• Check if the PVC material is chemically compatible with the fluid you intend to transport.
• Consider the ambient temperature of your working environment, as extreme heat can affect PVC flexibility.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, avoid sharp bends that could cause the hose to kink. Regularly inspect the hose for signs of hardening, cracking, or discoloration, and replace it if any degradation is observed to maintain system integrity.
