Any thoughts on where to find a high capacity commercial grade hose?
Looking for 200' 1" or 1 1/4" capacity.



Hd and lowes hoses dont seem to meet my needs.

Your going to have to be a bit more specific such as pressure rating, material, chemical resistance, Couplings and anything else that may apply.

High capacity coming off of my well. 1 1/4" connection from well at 16gpm. No pressure tank yet so i need full flow and no pressure push back on pump. No chemicals. Will be used for fire and garden.

Look at Tigerflex, I use it in my maple operation for temporary and permanent flexible connections. Expensive, and a bear to work with, but basically indestructible. Probably overkill, and not easily handled for your application, but there are similarly constructed lighter duty hoses available, I just don't know the names.

Make a run of rolled pvc, inch is plenty for 16. You could knife it in a little to keep from tripping, use a garden hose as a whip. 40# will pump 30 true 25 ft of 3/4.

No retailer will carry garden hose with this dimension because the common garden hose connection is only large enough for a 3/4" hose. You might need to look at flexible hose used for pump discharge that some of the big box stores sell.

Have you looked for used firehose? It may serve your need. Also if somewhat rigid will work try a roll of black ABS tubing.

is this for potable or non potable water.... you can buy 1" rolled well line as others said, make a connection and go... that way if you don't damage it you can later bury it... Tractor Supply some hope depots carry. are you looking for something to leave out or coil every week?

If you are looking for something portable to put away every weekend or inbetween, and its not potable (drinking) then get some 1" pneumatic air lines they use with big tow behind compressors, they have Chicago fittings on them, you can make any adapter to fit to these as well.

I'd look at a larger industrial supplier. As much as I dislike them, Grainger probably has what you're looking for.

Otherwise I would start with a vendor that handles irrigation equipment on a large scale. They tend to sell stuff like pumps, hoses, fittings and the like.

when I lived in the country I came across( at a scrap yard) 1-1/4" air hose that had come out of GM plant . there was about 3to 400 ft complete with ball valves ( each pc ranged from about 50 to 75 ft )
it worked great for portable irrigation . It was a bear to move around, I used to drag it around with the tractor . used a 3hp pump or a 3/4 hp pump ( depending on what I was doing)

I wonder if the OP realizes how much an inch quality hose would cost? That is why a couple here expressed using rolled plastic, put a place or couple hydrants out where needed and connect with hose. As a side note, fire uses a big hose and small nozzle. Low line loss and restriction at the end to create pressure to make it shoot.
I have a small fire truck, 500 gallons, 1 1/2 hose, 3/4 nozzle.

Hi Sparky,
Go to Forestry Suppliers website and I think you will find exactly what you need. Lots of different hoses, including Mighty Hose and Fireboss. But prices for that stuff ain't cheap. Also have nozzles to go with. Biggest obstacle might be having enough pressure to satisfy those bad boys' thirst. Good luck.

They have an online presence, but will also send you quarterly catalogs and sale notices if you sign up at their website.
