ProTool Ultra Light Hybrid Hose 300 PSI

ProTool Red Hybrid Water Hose, a versatile and durable solution designed to meet a variety of water-based application needs.

Key features include:

• Durable Construction: Crafted from a hybrid polymer blend, this hose combines the resilience of rubber with the lightweight properties of PVC. Its multi-layered design includes a plastic inner lining, inner fiber braid reinforcement, an intermediate plastic layer, outer fiber braid reinforcement, and a plastic outer covering, ensuring durability and flexibility.

• Versatile Usage: Available in multiple sizes to suit various applications:

  • 3/8-inch: Ideal for water-fed systems, providing a balance between flexibility and water flow.
  • 1/2-inch: Suitable for soft wash spraying, offering a higher flow rate for efficient cleaning.
  • 3/4-inch: Designed for large water flow requirements, perfect for tasks demanding substantial water delivery.

• High-Pressure Performance: Engineered to withstand high-pressure conditions, this hose ensures reliable performance across various water-based applications.

• Lightweight Design: The innovative hybrid material offers quality comparable to traditional rubber hoses but with reduced weight, enhancing maneuverability and ease of use.

This Red Hybrid Water Hose is an excellent choice for professionals and homeowners seeking a durable, flexible, and efficient hose for diverse watering needs.

pressure loss against the need for sufficient water flow.

Low-Pressure Hose Flow Loss

At the other end of the spectrum, garden hoses typically operate at much lower pressures, around 60 psi from a tap. The flow rate here is also affected by the length and diameter of the hose but is less dramatic than in high-pressure applications.

Effect of Hose Diameter at Low Pressure: For garden watering, using a hose with a larger diameter can significantly increase the flow rate. For example:

• A 100ft long 3/4 inch diameter hose can deliver about 22 GPM at 60 psi.
  
• A 1/2 inch hose of the same length delivers around 8 GPM.

The Role of Hose Length and Elevation

Longer hoses and elevation changes further complicate matters by introducing additional flow resistance. For both high-pressure and low-pressure applications, longer distances and uphill routing can severely diminish the flow rate due to gravity and frictional losses within the hose.
