Garden hose Rockforce oil-resistant reinforced rubber 8 mm diameter, 5 m length

Rockforce reinforced oil-resistant rubber garden hose, 8 mm internal diameter and 5 m length, is designed for transferring water and oil-containing liquids where increased durability and resistance to petroleum-based fluids are required. The hose combines a flexible rubber compound with internal reinforcement to reduce kinking and resist abrasion, enabling use in garden irrigation, workshop settings and light industrial fluid transfer tasks.

Advantages

The hose provides oil resistance that helps prevent swelling and degradation when exposed to hydrocarbons, while the reinforced construction improves pressure tolerance and reduces the risk of collapse or kinking during handling. Its 8 mm internal diameter balances flow rate and maneuverability for portable applications. The material selection offers good abrasion resistance and flexibility at normal working temperatures, supporting repeated use in outdoor and workshop environments.

Suitable for

• Garden irrigation and watering tasks
• Workshop and garage use for water and oil-containing liquids
• Light industrial fluid handling where oil resistance is required
• Temporary fluid transfer and filling operations

Key specifications

• Internal diameter: 8 mm
• Length: 5 m
• Material: oil-resistant rubber compound with internal reinforcement
• Construction: reinforced to reduce kinking and improve abrasion resistance
• Intended media: water and oil-containing liquids

How to use

Connect the hose to compatible fittings or taps that match the 8 mm internal diameter using appropriate hose clamps or adapters. Route the hose without sharp bends or tight coils to maintain flow and avoid stress on reinforced layers. When conveying oil-containing liquids, ensure fittings and seals are compatible with petroleum-based fluids. After use, drain remaining liquid, wipe the outer surface if contaminated, and store the hose coiled in a dry, shaded location to prolong service life.

Usage recommendations

For safe and long-lasting operation, avoid exposure to temperatures and chemicals outside the hose manufacturer's recommended range, minimize abrasive contact with sharp edges, and inspect the hose regularly for signs of wear, cracking or softening when used with oil-containing fluids.
