The Benefits Of Using Layflat Hoses With A Layflat Hose Coupler

Layflat hoses are designed to be used in tight spaces or across long distances. One of the key benefits of a layflat hose is that, well, it lays flat. This means the hose is less likely to develop kinks or other issues as you work to maneuver it through a tight space or across the full length of your warehouse or work site. Layflat hoses are also less likely to suffer damage if stepped on or run over by a piece of equipment. But if you want to make the most out of your layflat hoses, you need to make sure you have the right couplers to assist you with the job. Here's why you should ask your layflat hose supplier about layflat hose couplers.

A Layflat Hose Coupler Lets You Connect Two or More Hoses Together So You Can Move Water or Another Substance Over a Long Distance

Are you trying to move a substance like water from one end of your construction site to the other end that is quite a long distance away? A layflat hose coupler will allow you to take shorter layflat hoses and essentially create a daisy chain, providing one long and uninterrupted hose to transport whatever it is you need to get to the other end of the property.

A Layflat Hose Coupler is Designed Specifically for Layflat Hoses and Will Be Less Likely to Cause Issues Compared to Other Couplers

When working with layflat hoses, you need to make sure you have the right kind of coupler to go with this specific type of hose. A layflat hose is designed to stay as flat as possible all the time so it doesn't get in the way of your workers or equipment. But if you try to use a traditional hose coupler with a layflat hose, you are going to create one or more spots along the chain where something will be sticking out a bit and that area of the hose will no longer be as flat as you need it to be. 

There's also the consideration that using a traditional hose coupler with a layflat hose might not create a perfectly tight seal. This could lead to leakage which either causes water damage or just makes the water move at a less efficient speed through the hose.

Using Couplers to Combine Hoses You Already Own is Much More Cost Efficient Than Purchasing a Longer Hose

Contact a layflat hose coupling provider today to discuss layflat couplers. It's likely much less expensive to daisy chain smaller hoses together with couplers than to buy a brand new hose just so you can move it across a longer distance.
