Smaller minimum bending radius doesn’t necessarily mean it is softer.

Although it is a measure of softness, it is not absolute. For example, the bend radius is TOYOSPRING < TOYORON, but in this case TOYORON feels softer. The softness varies depending on the thickness, material and reinforcement structure. Select an appropriate hose with reference to the deflection data and product samples.

For used hoses, the ends used for connecting may have become deformed to fit the size of the hose nipple (coupling), and the hose’s overall inner diameter may have increased due to piping internal pressure. Therefore, even if you measured the used hose with a vernier caliper, a slightly different size may be required. To find a hose, refer to the Hose Selection Guide or the specifications table on the Toyox website and select a hose that is thinner and closer to the inner diameter size. Feel free to contact Toyox for assistance in making a selection.

In order to provide products suitable for the usage conditions, etc., we provide samples upon confirming the usage conditions. Note that samples may not be available depending on the conditions.

There are various types of hoses. Hoses used in factories are roughly divided into hoses reinforced with thread and those reinforced with metal or resin coils. If the currently used hose is reinforced with thread, the hose may bend or collapse. It is possible to minimize bending and collapsing by using a hose reinforced with a metal or resin coil. These reinforced hoses are resistant to bending and collapsing and can be used for vacuum applications. In addition, there are hoses with a new structure that’s not reinforced with a metal or resin coil and is resistant against bending and collapsing.

The model number can be found in the circled part in the image below. Model numbers are marked on hoses every 1 meter. If cut into 10 cm pieces, some pieces will have no model number marking. If your piece of hose has no model number marking, please contact Toyox.

Do not use fuel oil in the TOYOFUSSO Hose Series. We do not produce hoses that can be used with fuel oil.

Yes. Be sure to ground or bond the hose clamp. Failure to ground may cause the hose clamp to become an isolated conductor, accumulating static electricity and leading to electrical discharge or ignition. Note that hoses with an antistatic band on the hose exterior (TOYOTOP-E Hose, TOYOTOP-E 100°C Hose, and TOYOFOODS EARTH Hose) are designed with a structure that does not generate static electricity on the surface of the hose (to a degree that static electricity could accumulate on the clamp).

Although you can used anything with a sharp blade to cut PVC hose containing hard steel wire, we recommend using an end nipper capable of cutting through hard steel wire. Check out our videos on how to cut PVC hose containing hard steel wire.

Many of our dealers will cut hoses to the desired length. Please consult with your local dealer for available sizes and pricing.

Yes, depending on lead times and quantities, we do our best to provide custom lengths. Please note that prices may differ. Consult with your local dealer for details.
