Inquiries

Q During use, hoses might bend or collapse in the middle, stopping flow or causing a change in flow rate, possibly resulting in work stoppage or loss. Is there a hose that can improve this? Function and performance

A.

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.

Q Where on the hose should I look to find its model number? Specification

A.

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.

Q Can gasoline be run through the TOYOFUSSO Hose? Fluid

A.

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

Q Does the TOYOFUSSO-E Hose for antistatic use require grounding on the clamp also? How to use

A.

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).

Q I want to cut a PVC hose reinforced with steel wire. What kind of tool is best for a clean cut? How to use

A.

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.

Q Is it possible to purchase hoses in shorter lengths than listed, and if so, is there a minimum length? Also, how does the pricing work for that? Service

A.

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

Q Is it possible to buy hoses in longer lengths than listed? Specification

A.

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.

Q While the weather was hot, a previously transparent hose turned cloudy white. Is it no longer usable? Function and performance

A.

Assuming the cause is devitrification (water absorption), it can be used without any problems. Such clouding is likely to occur to oil-resistant PVC hoses during the hot and humid months.

Q Can natural gas, liquefied petroleum (propane) gas and other flammable gases be run through Toyox soft PVC hoses? Fluid

A.

Toyox hoses should not be used for flammable gases. Doing so may result in fires and extensive burning.
