Description
½-inch hose for drinking-water lines
Blue reinforced PVC hose for caravan, camping and motorhome water connections, with a nominal ½-inch / 12.7mm internal diameter.
Choose the length that suits your route, from a short replacement section to a longer run. Sixteen options are available between 1m and 60m.
Hose only. End fittings and installation accessories are separate.
Choose a length that follows your route
Measure where the hose will run, including bends and the connection at each end. A straight-line measurement can leave too little hose to make the joints without tension.
Choose 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m, 6m, 7m, 8m, 9m or 10m for shorter sections. The longer options are 15m, 20m, 25m, 30m, 50m and 60m. The Length selector shows each option with its own price.
The coil in a product photograph illustrates the hose; it does not show the length you have selected. Leave room for a gentle bend rather than making the hose stretch between two fittings.
Build the connection around the hose
The bore, hose wall and fitting type all matter.
Start with ½-inch bore
The nominal ½-inch / 12.7mm size is the opening inside the hose. It is not the measurement across the outside, and it is not a BSP thread size.
Check the hose end
Use a fitting intended for reinforced flexible hose of this size. A hose-tail must suit the bore; a clamping connector must also grip the hose wall correctly. Brand name alone does not establish compatibility.
Complete the system
This product supplies plain hose only. End connectors, clips, tap adapters and reels are separate. Choose components suitable for drinking-water service and the requirements of your installation.
Give the hose room to bend
The four-layer reinforced PVC construction combines a clear inner core with a blue outer layer. Route the hose smoothly and support it so the weight of the run does not hang from the end fittings.
Keep it away from sharp edges and avoid a tight fold beside a connection. Reinforcement helps support the hose, but a forced bend can still restrict the waterway.
Keep the open ends clean during installation. Follow your water-system instructions for flushing and cleaning, and inspect the joints with water before use. Check any pump or appliance requirements before connecting the line.
Questions about the ½-inch blue hose
Is the ½-inch measurement the outside diameter?
No. It describes the nominal internal diameter, or bore, which is 12.7mm. The hose wall makes the outside larger. A hose-tail connector is selected to suit the hose bore, while another fitting may also depend on the wall and outside size. Check the fitting’s requirements for reinforced flexible hose rather than treating ½-inch as a universal connection size.
Does the hose come with connectors?
No. This listing supplies the selected length of plain-ended blue hose. Quick connectors, hose clips, tap adapters and reels are not included. Choose hose ends suitable for nominal ½-inch reinforced hose and for drinking-water service. Check the fit and securing method, then test the completed joints before putting the water line into use.
Can I use it for a caravan fresh-water connection?
The hose is intended for drinking-water use, including caravan, camping and motorhome connections. Match the fittings to the hose and to your water system, and check any pump, tank or appliance requirements. Keep the hose ends clean, follow the system’s flushing and cleaning instructions and inspect the finished connections before use.
Which lengths can I choose?
There are sixteen options: every whole metre from 1m to 10m, plus 15m, 20m, 25m, 30m, 50m and 60m. Select the required option in the Length dropdown before adding the product to your basket. Measure the routed path with enough allowance for bends and the end connections; the coil shown in photographs does not indicate the selected length.
