Suction and Delivery Hoses from Whitehouse Flexible Tubing

What is a Suction Hose?

A suction hose is a specialised type of hose designed for drafting operations, where a vacuum is used to draw water from a static water source such as a portable water tank, pool, or reservoir. Unlike hoses designed to handle pressure, suction hoses are constructed to endure vacuum conditions. They are built robustly to resist abrasion, heat, and the specific stresses encountered during vacuum applications.

The suction hose is integral in various industries and applications, from firefighting and agriculture to industrial and construction settings. Its primary function is to move liquids from one place to another effectively, especially in scenarios where a vacuum is needed to facilitate the movement. For instance, firefighters rely on suction hoses to draw water from natural sources to combat fires when hydrants are unavailable. Similarly, in agriculture, these hoses are used to irrigate fields by extracting water from ponds or tanks.

What are the features of Suction and Delivery Hoses?

Key features of a high-quality suction hose include durability, flexibility, and the ability to maintain structural integrity under vacuum conditions. Materials used in the construction of suction hoses often include reinforced polymers and other durable substances that can withstand the harsh conditions of their typical usage environments.
