Understanding Your Requirements

Identifying the Purpose

Before selecting a rubber hose, it is crucial to understand its intended use. Are you looking for a hose for industrial machinery, domestic appliances, or perhaps for garden use? Different applications require different hose specifications, including material, flexibility, and durability.

Evaluating the Environment

Consider the environment where the hose will be used. Factors such as temperature, pressure, and exposure to chemicals can significantly impact the hose’s performance and longevity. For instance, high-temperature applications might require a specialised PVC hose, while chemical exposure would necessitate a hose with strong resistance properties.
