Suction Hose vs Air Hose
Suction hose is built to resist collapse under vacuum; air hose is built to hold pressure from inside — the two are not interchangeable even at the same bore size.
Water Suction Hose
Reinforced to resist collapsing under the vacuum created when pumping water, commonly used with pumps for dewatering, irrigation and general water transfer.
Compressed-Air Hose Pipe
Built to hold internal pressure for pneumatic tools and compressed-air distribution, rated to a specific working pressure that should be confirmed against your compressor's output.
Construction Types Available
Reinforced Suction Hose
Wire or fabric-reinforced construction to prevent collapse under vacuum.
Pressure-Rated Air Hose
Reinforced to hold a specified working pressure for pneumatic use.
Where Suction and Air Hose Is Used
Packaging
Suction and air hose is supplied by the metre or in standard coil lengths, in the bore diameter specified. Confirm bore diameter, working pressure (for air hose) and total length before ordering.
Common Questions
Can I use air hose for water suction?
No — suction hose is reinforced specifically to resist collapsing under vacuum, while air hose is built to hold internal pressure; using the wrong type for the wrong job risks hose failure. Specify the correct type for your application.
