Reinforced water hose built for contractor, agricultural and industrial use, transferring water at working pressures up to 10 bar. High tensile polyester braid reinforcement resists kinking and holds a balanced pressure rating, while the DEHP free PVC construction keeps the hose safe to handle throughout daily use. Manufactured in the UK to standards that exceed BS3746.
How braid reinforcement prevents kinking under pressure
An unreinforced hose collapses or kinks easily under pressure, especially when dragged around corners or across rough site ground, cutting off water flow exactly when it's needed most. That kinking also puts repeated stress on the same section of hose, increasing the risk of splitting over time. This hose's polyester fibres are braided at a balanced 54 degree angle around the tube, spreading pressure evenly along its length and resisting kinks even when pulled tight around obstacles.
Key Features
-
High tensile polyester braid reinforcement: Wrapped at a balanced 54 degree angle to resist kinking and distribute pressure evenly along the hose.
-
10 bar working pressure: Rated for transferring water at pressures suited to most industrial, agricultural and construction watering tasks.
-
DEHP free PVC construction: Both the mirror smooth liner and outer cover are manufactured without DEHP, keeping the hose safe to handle daily.
-
Kink resistant black PVC tube: Maintains consistent water flow even when the hose is bent or dragged around obstacles.
-
UK manufactured to exceed BS3746: Built to a higher standard than the baseline requirement for PVC water hose.
-
30m length, 12mm diameter: Covers a substantial working distance from a single length without needing extensions.

Who is this for
This hose is used by groundworkers and site operatives needing a reliable water supply across construction sites, alongside agricultural and horticultural operatives managing irrigation for crops and growing areas. Facilities maintenance teams use it for general site watering and cleaning tasks, while its pressure rating makes it suitable for feeding pressure washers on demanding cleaning jobs.
Typical applications
-
Supplying water for general site tasks including washdown and dust suppression.
-
Feeding pressure washers for cleaning plant, vehicles and surfaces.
-
Irrigation and watering across agricultural and horticultural sites.
-
General industrial water transfer tasks up to the rated working pressure.
-
Facilities and grounds maintenance watering across large sites.
How to use
Step 1: Connect the hose to a suitable water supply using standard hose fittings.
Step 2: Uncoil the full length before use to avoid kinks restricting flow.
Step 3: Run the hose along its working path, avoiding sharp bends tighter than the rated bend radius.
Step 4: Operate within the 10 bar working pressure rating for the task at hand.
Step 5: Drain and coil the hose loosely for storage after use.
Common mistakes
-
Exceeding the hose's rated working pressure, which risks splitting or bursting.
-
Dragging the hose around bends tighter than the 60mm bend radius, causing kinks.
-
Leaving the hose coiled tightly under tension in storage, which can weaken the material over time.
-
Using the hose for chemical or fuel transfer, which it isn't designed or rated for.
Safety
This hose is rated to a 10 bar working pressure and should not be used beyond that rating. It's designed for water transfer only, not chemicals or fuel. Check fittings and connections are secure before pressurising the hose, and inspect regularly for wear, cracking or damage along its length.
Maintenance
Drain the hose fully after use and coil loosely rather than tightly to avoid stressing the material. Store away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures outside the -15°C to +60°C operating range. Inspect the tube and reinforcement periodically for cracking, splitting or wear, particularly at connection points.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What working pressure is this hose rated for?
A: This hose is rated to a working pressure of 10 bar (145 psi), with a bursting pressure of 30 bar (435 psi), giving a solid safety margin above normal operating use. That rating covers most construction, agricultural and general industrial watering tasks, including feeding a pressure washer.
Q: Is there a UK standard this hose meets?
A: The hose is manufactured in the UK to standards that exceed BS3746, the British Standard for PVC hose used in garden and industrial applications. That means it's built beyond the baseline requirement rather than simply meeting the minimum standard.
Q: What is this hose NOT suitable for?
A: This hose is designed for water transfer only, it isn't rated for chemical or fuel transfer, and shouldn't be used for either. It also isn't intended for permanent buried or underground installation, and must not be used above its rated 10 bar working pressure.
Q: Why choose a reinforced hose over a standard unreinforced hose?
A: An unreinforced hose kinks and collapses easily under pressure or when bent around obstacles, cutting off flow at the worst possible moment. This hose's polyester braid reinforcement, wrapped at a balanced 54 degree angle, resists kinking and holds pressure evenly along its length, making it far more reliable on an active site.
Q: Is this hose safe to handle regularly?
A: Yes, both the inner liner and outer cover are manufactured using DEHP free PVC, a safety consideration for anyone handling the hose regularly throughout the working day.
Q: How do I store the hose to make it last longer?
A: Drain the hose fully after use and coil it loosely rather than tightly, since tight coiling under tension stresses the material over time. Store away from direct sunlight and outside the -15°C to +60°C operating range where extreme temperatures could affect the PVC.
Q: What bend radius does this hose need to avoid kinking?
A: The hose has a rated bend radius of 60mm. Avoid running it around any bend tighter than this, since doing so risks kinking the hose and restricting water flow, even with the polyester braid reinforcement.
