View Our Wide Selection of Industrial Hoses
Industrial hoses are an essential component of many manufacturing businesses. Their main function is to transfer varying types of media throughout a facility during the manufacturing process. There is a wide array of different types of industrial hoses, so selecting the right type is critical. Size, flexibility, and material composition are essential elements to consider when selecting the proper hose for your application.
UIP International is a leading industrial rubber hose manufacturer. For more than 40 years, we have been a dominant supplier of industrial, marine, and hand-built custom hoses. Our manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas, can engineer industrial hoses up to 100’ in length and 28″ in diameter. We offer several types of hose material to meet the stringent demands of any application.
Water Hose
The beverage, agricultural, construction, and fire safety industries use water hoses for safe water transport.
FDA Food Grade/Sanitary Hose
These hoses must meet the strict regulations enforced by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to prevent contamination. Food-grade hoses are available in varying sizes and pressure ratings and are constructed of non-toxic materials.
Material Handling Hose
Abrasive or dry substances need a material handling hose that is thick enough to withstand prolonged use. Typical uses include the transfer of concrete, asphalt, or sandblasting materials.
Marine Hose
We offer U.S. Coast Guard-approved marine hoses that keep vessels running efficiently. A marine hose can transfer oil, fuel, water, and coolants and perform discharge and suction applications.
Air/Multi-Purpose Hose
Air hoses can tolerate high air pressures of up to 1,500 psi. They typically consist of nitrile tubes reinforced with a braided fabric cover, and they are commonly used in heavy-duty applications like construction sites, mines, quarries, and more. Our air/multi-purpose hose models include:
Chemical Hose
A chemical hose must be able to withstand the pressure and temperature requirements of transferring a variety of industrial chemicals. Corrosion-resistant hoses are essential for safe material handling of alkaline, reactive, or acidic chemicals.
Steam Hose
A rugged hose allows for multi-purpose steam services in pressure washing, steam cleaning, fire prevention, and much more. Steam hoses are comprised of synthetic rubber with reinforced steel wiring to provide added support.
Petroleum Hose
Rubber petroleum hoses safely and efficiently transfer gas, oil, and other petroleum-based solvents. The heavy-duty hose can handle high-temperature petroleum such as asphalt and tar and is also applicable for suction and discharge services at bulk stations or on tank trucks.
Hydraulic Hose
Manufactured according to SAE regulations, high-pressure hydraulic hoses carry fluids to various components in hydraulic systems to exert the necessary force. To accommodate the high-pressure requirements, hydraulic hoses are often constructed with several layers of reinforcement.
Offshore Oil & Submarine Hose
These hoses are effective in transferring oil and its byproducts from extracting facilities to shuttle tankers.
Special Applications
Coolant hoses transfer coolant from the engine to other vehicle components to avoid overheating. A heavy-weight interlocked tar and asphalt hose can is necessary when transferring high-temperature fluids requiring up to 100 psi.
What Are Industrial Hoses?
The term industrial hose is used to refer to a broad spectrum of hoses used in various capacities to transfer media from one location to another. These components allow for the proper flow of fluids and gases in hydraulic and pneumatic applications and more.
Companies must select the proper type of hose for safe material handling. The functionality and purpose of the applications determine the type of hose required. Specific applications of industrial hoses include:
