Order Online Flexible Tubes, Pipes and Hoses | Tricksall

Hose, pipe, and tubing are all used to transport fluids, gases, or materials from one place to another, but they have different characteristics and applications:

​

Hoses offer a remarkable level of flexibility and allow high pressure, with the ability to bend and twist, which makes them exceptionally well-suited for applications requiring adaptability and movement. Our range of hoses are typically manufactured from materials such as rubber or PVC, polyurethane, which provide the necessary flexibility, and some variants include reinforcement layers to enhance their durability and strength. Their versatility shines in the transportation of pressurised fluids like water, air, oil, and an array of chemicals. Consequently, hoses are widely deployed in scenarios where connections must accommodate flexibility, as evident in their use in garden hoses, hydraulic systems, and pneumatic tools.

​

Pipes are known for their structural rigidity, typically manufactured from materials like metal (e.g., steel, copper), plastic (e.g., PVC), retaining their shape without flexibility. Used in plumbing, sewage systems, gas lines, and structural support, pipes serve as stable conduits crucial for unyielding, fixed installations.

​

Tubes typically have smaller diameters compared to pipes and hoses and are typically used in lower pressure applications. They offering versatility in terms of size options also. They are constructed from materials such as nylon or polyurethane, commonly used in the food and beverage industry, automotive industry, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, as well as laboratory equipment. Tubes find applications in diverse fields, serving roles in heat exchangers, instrumentation, and scenarios that require precision in measurement or the containment of substances.
