Why this hose?
AGRIFLAT is a layflat hose — meaning a hose that folds flat and can be stored compactly on a reel. That is critical for fire departments where the hose must deploy rapidly and be stored in limited space.
The NBR/PVC construction gives oil, petrol and UV resistance — worth noting for outdoor and demanding industrial applications. The hose tolerates hot water up to +80 °C and short-term peaks to +100 °C, covering nearly all irrigation and firefighting applications.
Where it is used
In practice AGRIFLAT is seen on fire departments, irrigation installations in agriculture and slurry spreading.
The formal product name is AGRIFLAT. In daily use: "the layflat hose" or "AGRIFLAT".

Overpressure and underpressure values are recommended operating limits; the product can be subjected to higher loads on request. Bend radius is measured along the inside of the hose bend.

Help with material selection
Even though this hose is not ATEX-relevant, these two articles provide useful background on electrical resistance and industrial safety — important if you later combine the hose with electrical equipment or work in mixed environments:
Industries that use it
The hose is used for water and firefighting applications:
Agriculture, horticulture, municipal and waste industries use the hose for irrigation, firefighting and wastewater transport.
Custom lengths and assemblies
The hose can be cut to length and assembled with couplings, cuffs and threaded fittings through Particulair's custom hose assemblies.
We offer guidance on material choice, coupling system and grounding, so the hose fits correctly into the overall system. If there is any doubt about zone classification or resistance requirements, a short conversation before ordering is well worth the time.
Frequently asked questions
What does "layflat" mean?
Layflat hoses fold flat when depressurised, allowing compact storage on a reel. When filled with water under pressure they unfold to a circular cross-section. That is the classic fire-fighting hose construction.
Does it tolerate fire department operating pressure?
Yes. AGRIFLAT is specifically designed for fire department applications and tolerates the operating pressures and deployment cycles typical of fire-fighting.
Can the hose be supplied cut to length with couplings?
Yes. AGRIFLAT can be cut to length and assembled with couplings, cuffs and threaded fittings through Particulair's custom hose assemblies. We provide guidance on coupling system and sealing so the hose fits correctly into the overall installation.
How do I order the hose, and where do you deliver?
The hose is ordered through Particulair (Karlslunde, Denmark). We deliver to Denmark, the EU and selected third countries such as Norway and Switzerland. Standard dimensions can typically be delivered in 1-2 weeks; custom assemblies and larger volumes require slightly longer lead time.
What is the hose's expected service life?
Service life depends on operating conditions: loading, temperature, chemical exposure, UV and mechanical movement. In standard industrial use, expected life is 3-7 years. Aggressive conditions (high temperatures, continuous flexing, chemical vapours) reduce service life. We recommend regular visual inspection for cracks, deformation or discolouration.
How is the hose best stored before use?
Store the hose dry, at room temperature (15-25 °C) and out of direct sunlight. Avoid contact with ozone-generating equipment (welding equipment, engines). If stored on a reel, the bend must be larger than the specified minimum radius to avoid permanent deformation. Proper storage significantly extends shelf life.
What is the minimum bend radius, and what happens if I go below it?
Minimum bend radius is the smallest radius the hose can be bent to without permanent deformation or internal damage. The table above shows specific values for each dimension. Bending the hose below this limit can collapse the wall, kink the spiral or damage the inner coating. The result is reduced flow, increased pressure loss and shorter service life. Always use bend radius as a design constraint in installation.
What is the difference between working pressure and burst pressure?
Working pressure is the pressure the hose is designed to operate at continuously and safely. Burst pressure is where the hose mechanically fails. The safety factor is typically 3:1 (burst is 3× working pressure), but varies by construction. Running the hose close to burst pressure is never safe in practice — there must always be margin for sudden pressure spikes, temperature changes and material ageing. Stay below working pressure in normal operation.
