Transparent hose 8x13 mm, 15 metres

With a transparent hose, you can see right away whether there is air in the line, whether the medium is clean and whether dirt or deposits are forming. That makes this type of hose handy for installation work, maintenance and situations where you want to be able to follow the flow.

What exactly does 8x13 mm mean?

The first dimension, 8 mm, is the inner diameter and determines how much medium can flow through. The second dimension, 13 mm, is the outer diameter. The difference gives the wall thickness: for 8x13 this is 2.5 mm. These dimensions matter when you connect a hose to a hose nozzle, fitting or clamp, because the inner and outer diameter must match the part you are fitting the hose to.

What applications is a transparent hose suited for?

A clear hose is often used where visibility of the medium is useful, for example when draining, siphoning or bleeding an installation. Always check that the material and the permitted temperature and pressure are suitable for your application, especially with hot water, drinking water or chemicals. Consult the technical data of the product for this or ask Proffix.

Hose cut to size and connecting it

With 15 metres of hose on the reel, you can adjust the length to the situation. Cut the hose square with a sharp knife or hose cutter for a clean connection. In the flexible hose fittings category you will find matching parts to couple the hose, and with clamps you secure the connection so that it seals properly.
