Robust and space-saving: Flat hoses from Arbeitsbedarf24

What is a flat hose?

Flat hoses are hoses made of elastic PVC that do not have a typical round shape, but a flat shape. A flat hose has good tensile and separation strength, is very resilient and does not take up much space when stored, as it can be rolled flat onto the hose reel. Accordingly, flat hose is easy to transport and use. Even under pressure, a flat hose does not expand. A big advantage of flat hoses is that they automatically deflate and flatten when rolled up.

Where is a flat hose used?

A flat hose can be used in a wide variety of areas. For example, it is used in agriculture for irrigation and drainage. With its help, it is possible to transport drinking water or extinguishing agents such as water, foam or extinguishing powder. The flat hose is also frequently used in industry and construction as well as in waste disposal.

What do I have to pay attention to if I want to buy a new flat hose?

First of all, you should be clear about what you want to use the flat hose for. In most cases, flat hoses are only designed for a free flow of water, i.e. no devices should be connected that slow down or even stop the flow of water, such as sprinkler systems or pumps. Also consider the maximum permissible pressure: its robustness does not mean that the flat hose can withstand a high pressure load without further ado. Accordingly, the so-called burst pressure is also listed as a criterion in the various product descriptions. You should also consider the temperature values that the hose can withstand: if the temperature is too high or too low, the PCV can be damaged and become porous. This would result in the hose leaking or even breaking. In addition, the flat hose sometimes has a strong to acrid odour of its own, which is why it is less suitable for indoor use. Last but not least, if you want to use a flat hose for drinking water supply (for example, when camping), you should make sure that no plasticiser is added to the material that would contaminate the water to be pumped.
