What is a layflat hose?
Layflat hoses are a type of flexible hose used for fluid transportation, typically for water. They are typically constructed from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a synthetic thermoplastic polymer known for its versatility and affordability. PVC layflat hoses are widely used in a number of industries and applications.
Layflat hoses are most often used for things such as firefighting or fire hydrants, in conjunction with water pumps, general water discharge in construction or irrigation and more. The key property of the layflat hoses, being layflat, makes the hose very easy to store as it is able to be laid flat.
Layflat hoses are a cost effective hose solution that's durable, has good resistance to abrasion and available in low, medium and high pressure variants. The choice of diameter and pressure rating depends on factors such as the flow rate, distance, and pressure requirements of the specific application.
