Lay flat hoses, as you can tell from the name, have a key feature: they can be laid flat for storage. They’re made of PVC and are used to send water in scenarios like irrigation or construction, especially when transporting water is tricky in certain applications.
Features of Lay flat hoses
Flexibility
PVC lay flat hoses are super flexible and can bend easily. This makes them great for storage as they can be compressed when not in use. They’re also user-friendly for transporting water.
Resistance
The inner and outer walls of these hoses are fused inseparably, making them resistant to oxidizing and reducing agents. They can handle dilute acids and alkalis too, and avoid abrasion, which gives them a longer lifespan.
Lightweight
Even though these hoses are long and durable, their manufacturing process makes them lightweight. That means they’re easy to transport. Their collapsible design further simplifies storing and retrieving them.
Easy Coupling
Moreover, lay flat hoses can be combined quickly and easily with lever lock couplings. This allows plumbers to create the perfect hose length, helping them achieve their work goals.
