Rubber water hoses are in various sizes to meet various usages. The most common sizes of rubber water hoses include:
1/2 inch
This is a smaller size commonly for light-duty use such as garden or water small plants.
5/8 inch
This is a standard size often for general household use. Like water lawn and wash vehicle.
3/4 inch
This is a larger size typically for heavier-duty use. For example, commercial or industrial use, where require higher water flow rates.
1 inch and above
These larger sizes are often in industrial or agricultural settings. As they need large volume of water to irrigate plants.
It’s to note that the size may vary based on the water pressure, flow rate and the special use. Thus you should consider the intended use and consult the supplier to choose the right size.
In addition, rubber water hose are typically available in various lengths, ranging from a few feet to hundreds of feet. The length of the hose will depend on the distance between the water source and the point of use.
In a word, if you need the industrial water hose for household use, you can choose a smaller size. But if you need it for industrial use, the larger size will be better. For example, the 4-8’’ hose.
