The outer cover is also clear PVC material and it’s to protect the steel wire reinforce.
End fittings
The end fittings are to connect the hose to the piping system. These fittings can be various materials such as PVC, brass or stainless steel.
Property
PVC steel wire hose is flexible, thus you can bend it into tight spaces. The flexibility of the hose depends on the diameter and the thickness of the reinforce. In general, smaller diameter with thinner reinforce is more flexible. While larger diameter with thicker reinforce may be less flexible. However, even larger diameter PVC steel wire hoses can be flexible compared to other types of hoses. The flexibility also depends on the ambient temp. Colder weather makes the hose less flexible and more stiff.
