A PVC layflat hose is a durable, flexible, and lightweight hose made from PVC that can be “laid flat” when not in use for easy storage. It is commonly used for water discharge and transfer applications in areas like construction, agriculture, and swimming pool maintenance. The hose is often reinforced with a polyester yarn to increase its strength and pressure resistance.
