From industrial to domestic settings, steel hoses have necessary applications. The device is a means to transfer large quantities of gas or liquid from one location to another. Though some designs allow the rubber to be more ribbed than other designs, each type has in common the flexible steel hose nature. However, several styles are available to meet your specific requirements.

Garden/Universal

Also well-known as a universal design, garden hoses are among the most commonly initiate applications. The type has connectors at both ends to connect it to not only a spigot but also a sprayer or sprinkler. The design permits the device to be rolled or bent for storage. When the liquid starts to flow through it, it accepts the required straight shape.

Garden multiplicities are at most major retailers and home development stores. They come in changeable lengths, and some have a puncture or twist-free design.

Soaker

Unlike the garden variety, the soaker construction permits liquid to seep out slowly. The application is for gardens to ensure water is not futile. The tubing lies on the soil and functions best if placed just under the mulch to help confirm there is little to no water evaporation.

Air Tubes

The usage of air tubing is common. Applications variety from underwater is diving to industrial settings where it functions pneumatic screwdrivers, grinders, and various other equipment. The device can have a low-pressure function to connect to a demand valve used for expanding items. You can find high-pressure functions that handle up to 4400 psi. These typically attach to a pressure gauge to monitor the pressure.

Braking Systems

In all other motor vehicles, a tube supplies brake fluid to the wheels to reduce friction between the pad and rotor as you press the brake pedal. However, there are other types of steel hoses used in braking systems on various applications. Semi-trucks and railways use air tubes to run between the tractors and semi-trailers and railroad cars, respectively. Before the usage of air brakes in railway operations, vacuum brakes lines are standard. You can use these lines in some parts of the world.
