DETHOSE-3 | Detergent Hose, 3 ft 1/4 in ID Feed Line

DETHOSE-3 | Detergent Hose, 3 ft 1/4 in ID Feed Line

• AR DETHOSE-3 — clear 3 ft detergent feed hose with 1/4 in ID and 3/8 in OD for reliable chemical draw and tidy routing in compact systems.
• Designed as a professional-grade detergent supply line for pressure-washing and industrial cleaning setups where space is tight but performance must be consistent day after day.
• Creates a short, efficient suction path between the detergent container and injector pickup or pump inlet so mix ratios stay predictable and priming is quick.

Hose Size & Construction

• Length: 3 ft (0.9 m) — ideal for neat, direct runs from chemical jug or tank to injector or pump inlet.
• Inner diameter: 1/4 in; outer diameter: 3/8 in for compatibility with common barbed and compression fittings.
• Reinforced thermoplastic wall balances flexibility with structural strength to prevent collapse under vacuum.
• Clear / translucent tube lets operators see fluid movement, air bubbles, and product changes at a glance.
• Material set is chosen for broad compatibility with common soaps, degreasers, and mild acidic solutions used in professional cleaning.

Performance & Flow Characteristics

• Short suction run minimizes losses so injectors prime quickly and maintain steady draw during trigger on/off cycling.
• Smooth internal bore promotes uninterrupted flow and discourages detergent film buildup that could skew injection rates.
• Reinforced construction resists kinks and flattening, preventing flow choke and maintaining stable injector performance.
• Maintains dimensional stability under continuous exposure to detergents and normal operating temperatures.

Installation & Use

• Precision-molded ends fit snugly over standard barbed or compression fittings for a secure, leak-resistant seal.
• Simple push-to-seat installation keeps the suction line airtight so injectors can draw at their intended ratios.
• Compact length routes cleanly between containers and injector ports without creating loops that snag on hoses or wiring.
• Vacuum-rated construction withstands typical chemical pickup conditions without collapsing or starving the injector.
• UV and ozone resistance help the hose preserve clarity and flexibility on mobile rigs or exposed wash bays.

Maintenance & Service

• Clear wall allows quick visual checks for air bubbles, residue, or color change when flushing or switching products.
• End-of-shift rinsing with clean water helps dissolve residues that could crystallize during storage.
• Inspection is fast—look for cuts, abrasion, or soft spots and replace as needed to maintain airtight suction.
• Smooth bore and short length clear quickly during flushing, reducing chemical waste and speeding product changeovers.

Typical Applications

• Pressure washer downstream and upstream injectors in mobile and stationary wash systems.
• Automotive detailing and fleet washing where accurate detergent metering and fast priming are critical.
• Agricultural equipment cleaning and farm washdown systems using jug or tank-fed chemicals.
• Food-service and facility sanitation rigs where operators rely on quick visual confirmation of chemical flow.
• OEM and retrofit use as a direct replacement or upgrade detergent suction line in carts, skids, and custom-built systems.
