Petroleum Hose, Flexible Pipelines, Agriculture Hose, Easy Handling Hoses

Each Flexibore , Petroline and Waterlord hose is hydrostatically tested prior to despatch. Our standard test pressure is 1500kPa but we can test to higher pressure if required. We also carry out pressure testing for fire hose as required. We have an accredited hydrostatic testing facility and can test up to 7400kPa pressure.

Yes, Crusader Hose has a good record for supplying Flexibore and other flexible rising main hose to Manila and other parts of the Philippines for a number of years now.

All hose is covered by a full warranty for materials and workmanship. The various types of hose carry different terms.

Waterlord - 10 year pro rata
Flexibore - 5 year pro rata
Petroline - 5 year pro rata
Fire hose - 5 year pro rata

The warranty does not cover indirect costs unless agreed to prior.

There are 3 typical methods for installing Flexibore.

1. Vehicle assisted
2. Crane assisted
3. Hand assisted

Depending on the bore depth, pump weight and access space, a decision must be made on which installation method will be used. See the installation instructions

Flexibore couplings are designed to be fitted onto the hose during installation. The hose is pushed onto the coupling tail and 2 sets of clamps are securely fastened around the tail using an Allen key.

No. As long as the total weight of the pump and cable falls within the safety margin of the ultimate tensile strength, then no safety cable is required.

You can see more information on the Flexibore Safety Cable recommendations.

If the total weight is higher than the recommended max tensile load, please contact us to confirm safety cable usage.

Note that if you want to use a safety cable, this is allowed yet we recommend that the Flexibore hose takes the load of the pump and cable. In other words the pump must hang on the hose and not the cable.

There are 2 methods to secure the power cable to the hose.

1. Heavy duty cable ties
2. Polyurethane straps

We have a large warehouse in which we attempt to carry a comprehensive range of stock of all hose that we manufacture. However if we do not have stock, we will advise an accurate lead time.
