Frequently asked questions
Common questions about TIGERFLEX from 3G Electric.
What is the typical pressure rating for TIGERFLEX PVC suction and discharge hoses?
TIGERFLEX PVC water suction and discharge hose assemblies are rated for working pressures between 30 and 45 psi, depending on the inside diameter. For example, the 3-inch diameter hose (SH300C010-NH300) is rated at 45 psi, while the 6-inch diameter hose (SH600C010-NH600) is rated at 30 psi. These ratings are suitable for general water transfer applications where moderate pressure is required.
What temperature range can TIGERFLEX clear PVC hoses handle?
TIGERFLEX clear PVC hoses have a temperature range of -4°F to 150°F for the 3-inch model, and -6°F to 150°F for the 4-inch, 5-inch, and 6-inch models. This range covers most ambient and water temperature conditions in industrial and agricultural settings, but the hoses should not be used with fluids above 150°F or below -6°F.
Are TIGERFLEX hose assemblies supplied with fittings?
Yes, the TIGERFLEX hose assemblies stocked by 3G Electric come with factory-attached NH-type couplings. For example, the SH300C010-NH300 includes NH300 fittings, and the SH600C010-NH600 includes NH600 fittings. These are standard cam-and-groove or threaded couplings designed for quick connection to compatible equipment.
What is the advantage of the clear PVC construction in TIGERFLEX hoses?
The clear PVC construction allows visual inspection of the fluid flow, which helps operators detect blockages, air pockets, or contamination without disassembling the line. This is particularly useful in suction applications where debris or cavitation may occur. The material also offers good abrasion resistance and flexibility for routing in tight spaces.
Can TIGERFLEX hoses be used for both suction and discharge?
Yes, TIGERFLEX PVC hose assemblies are designed for both suction and discharge of water. The rigid PVC helix reinforcement provides the structural strength needed to prevent collapse under vacuum conditions during suction, while the pressure rating supports discharge applications up to 45 psi. They are suitable for general water transfer in construction, agriculture, and dewatering.
