High-Pressure Express Wash Hose
No matter the amount of hose you need, we'll have something ready and waiting for you right here. Our lengthy inventory of high-pressure hoses allows us to quickly pair express wash owners with the right product. You can order your hose by the foot or by the reel. Brands such as ProPulse, Continental, and Gates are all included in our hose lineup. And while you can choose between different hose lengths and specific colors to match your wash design, you can also rest easy knowing each hose we sell is designed to withstand the rigors of heavy usage and inclement weather.
So which hose is the right choice for you? To make that call, you may want to begin by checking out our many product pages. These pages will give you a breakdown of specifications and features so you have a thorough understanding of each hose before purchasing. You also have the opportunity to reach out to our support staff and discuss any questions you might have with them. Given the importance of a high-pressure hose for any modern tunnel car wash, you’ll want to be sure you’re making the right call for your business!
Abrasion Resistance is Important for High-Pressure Hose
When ordering a high-pressure hose, you will need a hose with a heavy-duty cover constructed with an abrasion-resistant material since these hoses are dragged across abrasive surfaces like asphalt. The cover protects the inner tube from abrasion extending the life of the hose. If you like to create custom hose assemblies yourself, you will need
crimp fittings to attach to each end of the hose. We even have versions that swivel to help prevent kinks and stress at the ends of your hose that fixed fittings experience. You might also want to consider purchasing
crimp machine to install the fitting.
Key Features and Specifications:
- Wire-Braid Construction: These hoses typically feature steel wire braid reinforcement. This reinforcement helps the hose resist the high internal pressure and prevent bursting.
- Pressure Ratings: The pressure rating for a high-pressure hose specifies the maximum pressure it can safely withstand. This rating is essential for ensuring safe and effective operation.
- Pressure Ratings: The pressure rating for a high-pressure hose specifies the maximum pressure it can safely withstand. This rating is essential for ensuring safe and effective operation. Some hoses may also have a working pressure rating. This indicates the pressure the hose can endure continuously. If a hose has a working pressure rating, it will also have a maximum pressure rating. The maximum pressure rating refers to the highest pressure the hose can tolerate briefly during a pressure spike.
- Temperature Rating: Many hoses have a temperature rating, particularly for applications involving hot water or chemicals. This rating indicates the maximum and minimum temperatures the hose can safely handle without compromising its integrity.
- Material: The hose's inner tube and outer cover are typically made from materials resistant to abrasion, chemicals, and high temperatures. Common materials include rubber, polyurethane, and synthetic rubber.
- Couplings and Fittings: High-pressure hoses include couplings and fittings that connect it to equipment. You will need to know the connections on your machine to ensure you purchase a compatible hose. Some do not include coupling or fittings. This is so you can make custom hose assemblies that fit your equipment.
- Length: Hoses are available in various lengths so you can pick one that best fits your application. However, be aware that longer hoses may experience pressure loss due to the increased distance the fluid must travel.
Common Applications:
- Pressure Washing: Used to clean surfaces like concrete, decks, and vehicles with high-pressure water. Also used for sewer jetting applications too.
- Car Wash/Detailing/Automotive: Cleaning vehicles, engines, and equipment
- Hydraulic Systems: Used to transport hydraulic fluids in machinery and equipment
- Construction: Cleaning construction equipment, machinery, and job sites
- Manufacturing: Cleaning industrial equipment, machinery, and facilities
- Food Processing: Cleaning food processing equipment, machinery, and facilities
- Marine: Cleaning boats, ships, and marine equipment
- Agriculture: Cleaning farm equipment, machinery, and facilities. Plus, spraying pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.
- Hospitality: Cleaning outdoor areas, such as patios, walkways, and parking lots
- Government: Cleaning public facilities, such as parks, roads, and infrastructure
By understanding the key features, applications, and factors to consider when choosing a high-pressure hose, you can ensure that you select the right hose for your specific needs.
