Layflat hose combines flexibility, lightweight handling, and cost-effectiveness for demanding outdoor fluid transfer jobs.
Layflat hose may be your best choice if you are looking for a flexible, lightweight, cost-effective hose. Because it rolls up flat, much less storage space is needed for transportation. This means it's ideally suited for the irrigation industries such as farming, construction, mining, and rental industries. We stock Continental brand Spiraflex® Blue and Red hose but can order other series described below.
Another area where layflat hose can be well utilized is that of flood cleanup, when used in tandem with a water pump. The water pump sucks up water from the flooded area, and then the layflat hose is used to discharge this to a safe area or flood plain that is often several hundred feet away. Layflat hoses can be joined together quickly and easily with lever lock couplings, which allow you to create the perfect length of hose
What Is a Water Discharge Hose and When Should You Use Layflat?
A water discharge hose is designed to move large volumes of water quickly from one location to another. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) layflat hose is one of the most practical options for this application because it stores flat, deploys rapidly, and can be extended to custom lengths by connecting multiple sections with lever lock couplings.

Frequently Asked Questions
A PVC layflat hose is a flexible discharge hose made from polyvinyl chloride that collapses flat when not pressurized, making it easy to store, transport, and deploy. When water flows through it, the hose expands to its full circular cross-section.
PVC layflat hose is ideal for agricultural irrigation, construction site dewatering, mining, flood cleanup, and equipment rental applications where lightweight, portable, and cost-effective water transfer is needed.
Layflat hose sections connect quickly using lever lock couplings. These allow you to assemble custom run lengths in the field without tools, then disconnect easily when the job is done.
