PVC Washing Hose (10x16) - 3/4" FF; 200cm IVAR.60108

Product detailed description

This PVC washing hose is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing systems for connecting washing machines, dishwashers, and other domestic appliances to the water supply. The hose is designed for use in systems where the water temperature does not exceed +30°C and the nominal pressure is up to PN 10. It is particularly suitable for installations where flexibility and ease of routing are required, such as in kitchens and laundry rooms. The hose length of 200 cm allows for sufficient reach in most standard installations, while the 3/4 inch FF connection ensures compatibility with standard plumbing fittings.

During installation, the hose is typically routed between the water supply pipe and the appliance inlet. The rigid connection type requires precise alignment of the fittings to prevent leaks and ensure a secure connection. Installers should ensure that the hose is not kinked or bent beyond its minimum bend radius, as this can restrict water flow and cause premature wear. The hose is not suitable for high-pressure or high-temperature applications and should not be used in systems with aggressive media or chemical content.

Technical parameters

Operating temperature	+30 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 10
EAN	8023601084271
Weight	0.268 kg
Code	60108020
Brand	IVAR

The hose is rated for a nominal pressure of PN 10, meaning it can handle a maximum working pressure of 10 bar. The operating temperature limit of +30°C indicates that it is suitable for cold water applications only. These parameters are essential for proper sizing and selection to ensure the hose functions safely and reliably within the intended system conditions.

Installation and connection

The hose is designed for 3/4 inch FF (female flange) connections at both ends. Installers should ensure that the mating fittings are clean and free from debris before connecting the hose. A wrench or spanner may be required to tighten the connection securely. It is important to avoid over-tightening, which can damage the hose or fittings. The hose should be installed in a straight line as much as possible to prevent unnecessary stress on the connections. Common installation mistakes include using the hose in high-pressure systems, failing to check for kinks, and not verifying the compatibility of the fittings.

Compatibility and accessories

This hose is compatible with standard 3/4 inch FF plumbing fittings and is typically used in conjunction with washing machines, dishwashers, and other domestic appliances that require a flexible water supply connection. No additional accessories are required for standard installations. However, installers should ensure that the system pressure and temperature are within the hose's operational limits before installation.

Technical background for designers

The hose operates by allowing water to flow through a flexible PVC tube, which is reinforced to withstand the nominal pressure of PN 10. The material is resistant to common domestic water conditions and is suitable for use in systems with non-aggressive media. The hose is designed to integrate into standard plumbing systems and should be selected based on the system pressure, temperature, and required length. The service life and efficiency of the hose are influenced by the quality of installation, the absence of kinks, and the compatibility of the system conditions with the hose's specifications.

Service and operation

The hose requires minimal maintenance during normal operation. Installers should periodically inspect the hose for signs of wear, kinks, or leaks. If any damage is detected, the hose should be replaced immediately to prevent system failure. No specific service intervals are provided for this product, but regular visual inspections are recommended as part of routine system maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Can this hose be used for hot water applications?
No, the hose is only suitable for cold water applications with an operating temperature up to +30°C.

Is this hose suitable for high-pressure systems?
No, the hose is rated for a nominal pressure of PN 10 and should not be used in systems with higher pressure levels.

Can the hose be cut to a different length?
It is not recommended to cut the hose, as this may compromise the integrity of the connections and reduce the hose's performance.

What should be checked before installation?
Before installation, ensure that the system pressure and temperature are within the hose's operational limits and that the fittings are compatible with the 3/4 inch FF connection type.
