16mm (5/8") Clear Multi Purpose Hose

16 mm (5/8") clear braided PVC hose (part PHCMP16) is a mid bore braided hose carrying useful volume at full pressure, used on transfer pumps, wash points and food lines that need more flow than 12 mm gives. The clear PVC wall carries a blue tint and a red tracer, with high tenacity polyester yarn braid taking the pressure and a UV stabilised outer layer taking the sun.

Key features

• Nominal inside diameter 16 mm (5/8")
• Working pressure 1.6 MPa (232 psi) at 20°C, built to a 4:1 safety factor
• Operating temperature -5°C to +60°C
• Red tracer high tenacity polyester yarn braid
• Meets AS/NZS 2554, and AS/NZS 2070 for plastics in food contact

• General industrial transfer

Compatibility and fitting

• Fits a 16 mm hose tail; secure with a hose clamp, two per end under pressure
• Brass and stainless tails to suit are in the brass fittings range
• For permanent petrol or oil lines use petrol and oil delivery hose
• For suction duty use a helix reinforced hose; braid holds pressure, not vacuum

Does the pressure rating drop with size?

Yes, and it matters. This bore holds 232 psi; at 25 mm it is 203, at 32 mm 174, and at 50 mm 130. Always read the rating for the size you are buying rather than the family.

Bores from 6 mm to 50 mm are in the clear braided PVC hose range.
