Essential Tips from Utigoflex for Using Layflat Hoses Safely & Efficiently:

1. Match the Hose Based on the Working Pressure

Always select a hose with a pressure rating higher than your system’s max working pressure to avoid bursts.

2. Avoid Sharp Bends & Abrasive Surfaces

Lay the hose straight or in wide curves to maintain flow efficiency.

  1. Secure the connection

To make sure the secure connections between the hose and coupling.

  1. Inspect Before Use

Check for cracks, abrasions, or leaks—especially at couplings.

Avoid using damaged hoses; even small tears can worsen under pressure.

Drain completely — Empty all residual water before storage to prevent mold growth or freezing damage in winter.

6. Proper Storage to Extend Lifespan

Store coiled in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
