A suction hose is a kind of hose that is mainly used to make the transfer of air, water, coolant, refrigerant, or debris under vacuum conditions, so it becomes a very important hose component in many off-road and industrial systems. Different froma pressure hose, a suction hose must have enough strength to prevent collapse, while at the same time keeping flexibility and stable internal flow.
In equipment like forklifts, loaders, scrubbers, and vacuum systems, the suction hose has a direct influence on the pump working efficiency, intake stability, and the reliability of the whole system. Because of this, material strength, reinforcement structure, and correct fitment are as important as hose diameter and length, and cannot be ignored in actual application.
Suction hoses are engineered differently depending on the media they handle. Some are reinforced for hydraulic or water suction, while others are designed for air intake, refrigerant flow, or debris recovery in cleaning equipment.
| Suction Hose Type | Typical Use |
| Hydraulic Pump Suction Hose | Loaders, excavators, forklifts |
| Water Suction Hose | Scrubbers, wet & dry vacuums |
| Air Intake Suction Hose | Engine intake systems |
| A/C Refrigerant Suction Hose | HVAC systems |
Choosing the correct hose ensures stable vacuum performance and longer service life.
A suction hose carries liquid, air, or debris under negative pressure from one part of the system to another—commonly used on pumps, hydraulic systems, vacuums, and air intake systems.
If you notice cracks, soft spots, loss of suction, or leaks, your suction hose may be deteriorating and should be replaced immediately.
Our hoses are made of PVC, silicone, or reinforced rubber, depending on usage—each type optimized for chemical, temperature, and pressure resistance.
Most industrial suction hoses operate under vacuum conditions and handle low to moderate pressure depending on application—consult specific product specs for details.
