What is Layflat Hose?

Layflat hose is made from PVC. As the name suggests one of its key properties is the hose’s ability to be laid flat for storage purposes; they are used for the delivery of water in roles such as construction or irrigation; when it is not easy to transport water.

There are some key features of layflat hose, these include:

• Flexibility – the PVC that our layflat hoses are made from means they are extremely flexible and resistant to kinks this allows for easy compression when not in use. Therefore layflat hose is ideal for storage and transporting as well as being user friendly.
• Resistance – the combination of woven yarn reinforcements and an inseparably fused inner and outer wall makes these hoses resistant to most oxidising and reducing agents as well as diluted acids and alkalis. The features also help to avoid the onset of rotting and helps avoid abrasion – this means the lifespan of a layflat hose is very long. We can also use layflat hose as an over sleeve for protection due to its makeup.
• Lightweight – although layflat hoses are strong and durable, the way they are made means they are lightweight and as such easy to use and transport. Layflat hoses have a collapsible design which means that storing and getting them out is easy and simple. This means they are ideally suited to irrigation in industries such as farming or construction.

Another area where a layflat hose can be well utilised is that of flood clean up, when used in tandem with a water pump. The water pump sucks up water from the flooded area, and then a layflat hose is used to discharge this to a safe area or flood plain that is often several hundred metres away. Layflat hoses can be joined together quickly and easily with lever lock couplings – these allow you to create the perfect length of hose for the task you need it for.

Typically made of PVC, a layflat hose is a flexible hose that has several advantages over other hoses and is popularly used in several different industries including irrigation, fire fighting and chemical transfer.

Storage

Due to their design, layflat hoses can be easily stored. Their flexible nature means they can be laid flat and manipulated into smaller spaces, which is great if you are transporting them from one place to another. Most people who have seen a fire engine will have seen a layflat hose attached to it, but they are also popularly used by farmers for crop irrigation. If used in this way, one of their major benefits is that they do not occupy valuable cropland like field channels would but can be taken out and put away as needed.

Corrosion Resistance

As layflat hoses are composed of braided, spun or woven reinforcements, combined with a fused inner and outer wall, they are highly resistant to weather corrosion. Most oxidising and reducing agents have little effect on them, which means a layflat hose will last longer, giving you the best value for your money. This also makes them ideal for transferring chemicals.

Versatility

Not only are they good value for money, a layflat hose can be put to a multitude of other uses. As already mentioned, you will often see them attached to a fire engine. They are great for fighting fires, but can perform equally well in cleaning up a flood area when used alongside a water pump. As the water pump sucks water up, the layflat hose is used to discharge the same water into a safe area away from the flood. If lever lock couplings are also used as a way of joining several hoses together, the distance from the flood area to the area of discharge can be increased. Similarly, they are often used in fracking when large quantities of water may need to be transported over rough and uneven ground. They offer much easier handling than a pipe system and are usually the go to choice for water contractors.

Another popular use for the layflat hose is as a garden tool as they can be easily manipulated to reach anywhere in the garden, and are light enough to be used on a daily basis.
