Suction and Discharge Hoses

What’s the Difference Between a Suction Hose and a Discharge Hose?

Suction Hose

Suction and discharge hoses are designed for construction, mining, marine, and irrigation purposes.
A suction hose does just that, it’s a pump, pulls, vacuums, or sucks the material or liquid through the hose. They can also be referred to as Delivery Hoses. Typically, suction hoses can be used for both suction and discharge.
A suction hose is constructed to maintain its round shape and not collapse when the hose is in normal use. Be aware that using the hose for purposes other than its intended will damage the hose.
There is also no such thing as a hose that a vehicle can run over. Driving over a hose with a vehicle will destroy it anyway.

Suction Hose Type

EPDM Bulk Water Suction & Discharge Hoses (Spiral-Plied Synthetic Fabric Reinforcement)
