PVC Hoses
PVC hoses for water transfer, pools, ponds, and irrigation: Compare suction and pressure hoses with a 25 mm inner diameter, sets with intake assemblies, and PVC flex hose and adhesive hose in additional sizes.
Distinguish PVC hoses by construction
This category includes more than one type of hose. The product cards primarily list suction and pressure hoses with a 25 mm inner diameter, or 1 inch, matching sets with intake components, as well as PVC flex hoses and PVC adhesive hoses. The first selection factor is the task the line needs to perform: draw in and transfer water, replace an existing connection, or use a flexible PVC pipe cut to size or sold by the meter.
The dimensions and components are not described in the same way for every product group. For a standalone suction and pressure hose, the inner diameter, length, and sometimes working pressure are the main details. A set also lists components such as a strainer, check valve, double nipple, hose barb, coupling, or hose clamps. Flex and adhesive hose names, by contrast, specify the pipe size and, depending on the version, the length. This makes it possible to compare the offers without transferring one group’s features to another.
Standalone suction and pressure hose
The standalone hose versions listed in the specifications have a 25 mm inner diameter, are designated as 1 inch, and are available in various lengths. They suit a setup where the connection accessories are already available.
Suction and pressure hose set
Depending on the product, the set versions include a strainer, check valve, brass double nipple, floating intake, or suction coupling in the stated scope of supply. Length and connection type distinguish the versions.
PVC flex hose and adhesive hose
The product names list PVC hoses as flex hose or adhesive hose in 32, 40, 50, or 63 mm sizes. Several entries are designated as sold by the meter or as 1, 10, or 25 m lengths.
Inner diameter, connection, and working pressure
For the suction and pressure hoses described, the basic size of a 25 mm inner diameter corresponds to the designation 1 inch. This indicates the hose cross-section. A double nipple with a 1-inch male thread, a hose barb, a hose fitting, and a coupling, however, are specific connection parts. Before choosing a length, the existing pump, filter, or line connection should therefore be checked against the relevant product designation.
Several standalone suction and pressure hoses and sets specify a working pressure of 6 bar. Examples include the 25-meter version without a set and the 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 m sets, where this value is stated in the respective product card. The value applies to the suction and pressure hoses described; it is not a general specification for every PVC flex hose in this category. Planning should take into account the pressure generated in operation by the specific pump or system.
For the flex and adhesive hoses, the available product names primarily state pipe sizes and lengths. The name of a 40, 50, 32, or 63 mm product reveals neither the working pressure nor a material thickness. These offers should therefore be selected by the stated size, the desired length, and the connection type of the user’s own pipe run.
Match length and weight to the pipe run
For suction and pressure hoses, the selection ranges from short sections to 25 m. According to the specifications, a 3 m set with a floating intake weighs 1.3 kg. The 5 m set with a strainer, valve, and brass double nipple is listed at 1.6 kg. For medium runs, there are 7, 8, 9, and 10 m versions, among others. The 10 m set with a strainer, check valve, and 1-inch male-thread double nipple weighs 2.85 kg.
For longer runs, 15, 20, and 25 m versions are available. The 15 m set with a strainer and check valve has a stated weight of 4.27 kg; the 20 m set with a floating intake weighs 5.55 kg. The standalone 25 m suction and pressure hose is listed at 6.25 kg, while the 25 m set with a strainer, check valve, and double nipple weighs 6.6 kg. Length and accessories therefore also affect transport and storage space.
Measure the actual pipe route from the water source to the pump or destination. Account for bends, changes in elevation, and the section needed to make the connections. A hose that is too short will not reach the intended point; an unnecessarily long hose adds weight and requires more space.
Strainer or floating intake?
Strainer with check valve
Several sets list a strainer with a check valve in the name or description. The 10 m set with a 1-inch male-thread double nipple also includes brass double nipples, a hose barb, and W4 stainless-steel hose clamps with a 12 mm band width. Other set versions mention a quick coupling or a suction coupling. This version suits an intake where the inlet at the end of the hose is designed for the strainer.
Floating intake
A floating intake is named in the product names of the 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 m sets. The 5 m product also lists a foot valve; the 3 m set names a 1-inch double nipple. The versions therefore differ not only in length but also in the position and accessories of the water intake. The components of a set with a strainer and a set with a floating intake should be considered separately.
For an existing system without inlet components, the standalone suction and pressure hose is the main option. Anyone assembling the inlet from scratch should compare the set names by strainer, check valve, floating intake, foot valve, double nipple, and coupling. These terms provide specific guidance for putting the setup together.
PVC flex hose and adhesive hose in additional sizes
The category also covers PVC flex hose and PVC adhesive hose beyond the 25 mm suction and pressure hoses. The product names include 40 mm versions in 1 m, 10 m, 25 m, or sold-by-the-meter formats. For 32 mm, there are entries with 25 m, with 10 m, and one entry with no length in the name. 50 mm products are listed as 1 m, 10 m, and 25 m; there is also a PVC adhesive flex hose with a length of 1 m and an outer diameter of 50 mm. A 63 mm PVC adhesive hose is named as a 1 m product.
Flex and adhesive hoses therefore differ both by pipe size and by sales format. Sold-by-the-meter products and fixed lengths are recognizable from the name. The 40 mm offer PVC hose 40 mm, flex hose, adhesive hose, sold by the meter is an example of this group. For the selection, the pipe size, length, and intended connection of the user’s own installation must match.
40 mm
The names list 1 m, 10 m, and 25 m, along with the terms PVC hose, flex hose, and adhesive hose. The specific length determines the amount of pipe run required.
32 mm
The product names include a 25 m version, a 10 m version with a 32 mm outer diameter, and another PVC adhesive flex hose. Size and length information should be read separately.
50 and 63 mm
The listed versions range from 1 m through 10 m to 25 m at 50 mm; 63 mm is listed as 1 m. One 50 mm product explicitly states the outer diameter.
Three hose versions compared directly
The comparison shows three different decisions: The 25 m hose is intended for a system with accessories already available, the 10 m set combines the hose with strainer components, and the 20 m set includes a floating intake. The right version follows from the connection, pipe route, and desired intake type.
Frequently asked questions about PVC hoses
Are 25 mm and 1 inch the same specification?
For the suction and pressure hoses described, a 25 mm inner diameter and 1 inch indicate the same basic size. Threads, barbs, and couplings are still separate connection specifications and should be checked against the existing system.
Which length fits my pipe run?
Measure the actual route, including bends and changes in elevation. The product names and cards offer about 3 or 5 m for short runs, 7 to 15 m for medium runs, and 20 or 25 m for greater distances.
What is specified for a set with a strainer?
Depending on the set, it includes a strainer and check valve. The 10 m set also lists a 1-inch male-thread brass double nipple and W4 stainless-steel hose clamps; other versions mention a quick coupling, suction coupling, or additional connection parts.
What distinguishes a floating intake?
The floating intake is named as a separate version in the set names. It is offered alongside sets with a strainer and check valve. The product cards list this intake for 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 m, with a foot valve also specified for the 5 m version.
Does the 6 bar working pressure apply to all PVC hoses?
No. 6 bar is specified for several standalone suction and pressure hoses and their sets. The available flex and adhesive hose names, by contrast, primarily state pipe size and length, not this working pressure.
What sizes are available for flex and adhesive hoses?
The product names list versions in 32, 40, 50, and 63 mm. There are also different lengths such as 1, 10, or 25 m and a sold-by-the-meter version. Wall thickness and pressure specifications cannot be inferred from this and are therefore not generalized.

3/4-inch HoseSelection checklist for your system
- Define the task: standalone suction and pressure hose, set with strainer, or set with floating intake.
- Check the connection size: For the suction and pressure hoses described, 25 mm and 1 inch are the key sizes; for flex hoses, 32, 40, 50, and 63 mm are listed.
- Measure the pipe route and choose a length: short, medium, and long versions are available in several increments.
- Compare working pressure only where the product card specifies 6 bar; do not transfer this value to flex and adhesive hoses.
- Read the set components: Strainer, check valve, foot valve, double nipple, coupling, and hose clamps vary by version.
- Consider weight and storage space, especially for 20 and 25 m products.
This creates a clear sequence: First determine the connection and hose group, then choose the intake type and length. For PVC flex hose and adhesive hose, pipe size and sales format are additional factors; for suction and pressure hoses, working pressure and accessories also matter.
