This is a translucent braided PVC pressure hose description. The essential point is that it is a reinforced, food‑grade, multi‑purpose hose suitable for air, water, petrol, and general fluid transfer, with a pressure rating up to 230 PSI and compliance with AS2070 (Australian food‑contact standard).
🧵 What this hose actually is
A braided PVC hose is made from flexible PVC with a cross‑woven polyester braid embedded inside the wall. That braid is what gives it higher pressure resistance and prevents the hose from ballooning or kinking under load.
Key characteristics:
-
Translucent so you can visually check flow or contamination.
-
PVC construction for flexibility and chemical resistance.
-
Polyester braid reinforcement for strength.
-
Rated to 230 PSI, which is relatively high for PVC hose.
-
Meets AS2070, meaning it is safe for food‑contact applications in Australia.
🔧 Typical uses
This type of hose is commonly used in:
-
Air lines for compressors and pneumatic tools (light to medium duty).
-
Water transfer in workshops, agriculture, and general plumbing.
-
Petrol and fuel lines for low‑pressure transfer (not for high‑temperature automotive fuel injection).
-
Food and beverage handling, such as breweries, dairies, and food processing equipment.
-
Chemical transfer where PVC is compatible with the chemical.
📏 Why the AS2070 standard matters
AS2070 covers plastics for food contact, ensuring:
-
No harmful migration of chemicals into food.
-
Material purity and manufacturing quality.
-
Suitability for potable water and food‑grade environments.
This makes the hose appropriate for:
-
Food processing machinery
-
Beverage dispensing
-
Dairy equipment
-
Aquaculture
⚠️ Practical considerations
A few things to keep in mind when selecting or using this hose:
-
Temperature limits: PVC softens with heat; most braided PVC hoses are rated roughly 0°C to 60°C. Above that, pressure rating drops significantly.
-
Fuel compatibility: Works for petrol and diesel, but not ideal for ethanol‑heavy fuels or hot engine bays.
-
Pressure rating varies by size: Smaller diameters usually handle higher pressure.
-
UV exposure: PVC can degrade in sunlight over time unless UV‑stabilised.
