PVC Dust Collection Hose — Moving Dust, Powder, Sand and Gravel

Home / PVC Dust Collection Hose

The duty: abrasive, airborne and hard on walls

Dust collection and powder transfer ask three things of a hose at once. The stream is abrasive — dust, powder, sand and gravel scour the bore wall. The run is usually under vacuum, on the intake side of a fan or a pump, so the wall must hold its section while it is being scoured. And the medium is dry, which raises the static question. This range records the duty on two of its published constructions.

The two constructions the duty is recorded on

Thick-wall suction hose. The suction family distinguishes its own builds by wall: the company describes thin-wall versions for low-pressure garden and domestic water delivery and thick-wall versions for dust, water and oil transfer. The thick-wall suction build is thus the family's recorded dust construction — the corrugated-wall hose of the PVC suction hose page, whose family data runs to bores of 3/4 in to 8 in (suction family range; the rating at your bore is confirmed in the quotation), working pressure 3 to 8 bar across the family (suction family range; the rating at your bore is confirmed in the quotation) and coils of 10 m to 30 m (suction family range; the lengths offered for your bore are confirmed in the quotation). Within the same family, the anti-static variant is named on the product page and covered on the anti-static suction page — the variant an enquiry names where the dust stream makes static control part of the specification.

Steel wire hose. The PVC steel wire hose is listed by the company for suction and delivery of water, oil, powder, sand and gravel — the dry-media list, in the manufacturer's own words — in a transparent wall with an embedded steel helix, described as resistant to negative pressure and abrasion. Its published per-size table gives bores, outside diameters, roll lengths and burst pressures; working pressure at your bore is confirmed in the quotation. The steel wire build's wall is the transparent one.

The facts a dust enquiry carries

• The medium, precisely: dust, powder, sand or gravel — with particle size and how abrasive it is; 'dust' alone spans flour-fine and grit.
• Vacuum or pressure: extraction runs pull, transfer runs may push; state which, and the level or pressure, so the wall is answered for the right side.
• Bore and run: bore against particle size and airflow, run length against loss — the pair that decides whether the far end still draws.
• Static position: if your specification sets a static requirement, state its value or standard; no anti-static performance figure is published for the variant, and the position is confirmed in writing.
• Fittings and wear points: bends and couplings are where abrasive streams cut first — name the route's tight bends and the end connections.

The two constructions' published facts differ — wall form, transparency, bore span, coil lengths — and the duty details in the list above are what the quotation is settled against. Send them itemised, name the construction you are asking about or ask for both to be answered, and ask for the answer to be given against your dust stream rather than against dust in general.

Which hose for a woodworking dust extractor?

Extraction is vacuum duty with an abrasive, static-prone stream. The recorded candidates are the thick-wall suction build and the steel wire build, with the anti-static variant named in the suction family. State your bore, run and any static requirement in the enquiry and have the build confirmed for that duty.

Can the steel wire hose handle sand and gravel?

Yes — those media are in the company's own application list for the build, alongside water, oil and powder. State the particle size and whether the run sucks or delivers, and have the rating at your bore confirmed in the quotation.

Do I need the anti-static variant for dust?

That depends on your specification and your environment's rules, not on the dust alone. If a static requirement applies, state it in the enquiry; the variant is named in the family, and its performance position is confirmed in writing, as its page explains.
