Benefits and Purchasing of PVC Hose Pipes

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most widely used thermoplastic polymers in the world. In terms of piping, PVC pipes are the most commonly used material. PVC flexible hose pipes and fittings are used in water supply systems, underground wiring, and sewage systems.


Points to remember when purchasing PVC hose pipes and fittings


  • Selection and use. When choosing a pipe, its purpose should be understood. Each user has different specifications and requirements. There are differences in thickness, material, temperature resistance, pressure resistance, and more. PVC hose pipes and fittings are not suitable for transporting or discharging hot water because it can cause the pipes to melt and warp.


  • Fluid velocity. The velocity at which liquid flows inside a pipe affects the pressure applied to the pipe wall. Therefore, if the liquid is transported at high speeds, thicker pipes should be selected. They will be able to withstand the required pressure. Pipes should also have smooth interior surfaces to reduce friction when liquids are flowing.


  • Variety. People should find a PVC hose pipe supplier that offers a wide range of products, including valves, fittings, and valve actuators. This can ensure that everything is found under one roof.


  • Cost. When selecting a PVC hose pipe supplier, always consider the budget and find a supplier that offers high-quality products at a reasonable price. They shouldn't be too expensive as to exceed the budget. At the same time, do not consider the quality of the materials used, and do not buy cheap products. Purchasing low-quality products will result in high maintenance costs in the future because they may require expensive repairs and replacements.


The benefits of using PVC hose pipe


  • Faster installation time: The installation time of PVC pipes is about 30% shorter than that of concrete pipes of the same size.


  • Smooth holes allow for high flow rate water transfer: PVC hose pipes are mainly used in water supply projects because they are superior to alternative materials in terms of quality and cost-effectiveness. Their smooth holes allow for high flow rates, reducing the likelihood of blockages and failures.


  • No leakage joints. The ultra-smooth surface of PVC flexible hose pipe reduces pumping costs, and no leakage joints eliminate water losses of up to 40% in some outdated technologies and corrosive pipeline networks.


  • Long service life: PVC hose pipe has a record of reliable performance in Australia for more than 50 years, and overseas research shows that PVC flexible hose pipe has an expected service life of more than 100 years.


  • Lower costs. PVC hose pipe can significantly save costs in projects, especially when considering installation, low damage rates, and lifecycle costs.
