38mm (1 1/2") Clear Multi Purpose Hose

38 mm (1 1/2") clear braided PVC hose is a large braided bore for bulk transfer under pressure, where the volume matters and a clear wall still earns its place for checking the line is running. 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 taking the sun.

Key features

• Nominal inside diameter 38 mm (1 1/2")
• Working pressure 1.2 MPa (174 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
• Clear wall with a blue tint, so flow and blockages are visible
• Cut to length from 1 m, or in coils (20 m and 60 m)
• Not suitable as a permanent fuel line

Applications

• Bulk transfer and decanting
• Large pump discharge
• Brewery and winery movement
• Process water and mild chemicals
• Tank filling and emptying

Compatibility and fitting

• Fits a 38 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
• Braid holds pressure, not vacuum: use a helix reinforced hose on the suction side of a pump

Why is the rating lower than the small bores?

The same braid has to hold back a much larger area of pressure. At 6 mm this hose carries 232 psi; at 38 mm it carries 174. Always read the rating for the bore you are buying.

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