They play important roles in transporting sediments, sand, gravel, and other materials. When it comes to dredging projects, the choice of hoses can significantly impact the efficiency, and project outcomes. So when select right dredging hoses, it requires careful consideration of various factors. Here we walk you through the key aspects to ensure you choose ideal dredging hoses.

The first step in choosing hoses is to clearly define your project&#;s needs:

Material being Transported: The size, and density of the material, whether it&#;s sand, gravel, sludge, or waste, determine the durability and material of the hose.

Operating Environment: Consider whether the hose will operate in freshwater, saltwater, or highly abrasive environments.

By understanding these factors, you can narrow down the specifications needed for your hoses.

Dredging hoses are designed with specifications tailored to different operational needs. Pay attention to these key parameters.

Inner Diameter (ID): Match the hose diameter with your pipeline system and desired flow rate to ensure smooth operations.

Length: Choose a length that provides adequate reach without unnecessary slack, which can reduce efficiency.

Working Pressure: Select hoses capable of handling the maximum operating pressure without failure.

Bending Performance: Opt for hoses with flexibility that meets the needs of your dredging activities while maintaining structural integrity.

Abrasion Resistance: Highly abrasive dredging materials require hoses&#; inner linings with excellent abrasion resistance. armored hoses and ceramice hoses are the good choice.

To avoid costly errors and potential hazards, always select hoses that comply with industry standards such as ISO certifications. These certifications guarantee that the hoses meet performance and safety benchmarks.

What size hose are you looking for 2" 3"?
There are afew sites that sell suction hose but they are not cheap compared to what you can get from a hose supply shop in your town. To order from a manufacturer you need to buy 50-100ft rolls at once though you may be able to get lucky and score an already cut piece, remember shipping costs.
The hose needs to be flexible and see through to help spot plug ups.

Yep, duct tape is the ticket!! I never head off dredging without it! If need be, you can duct tape a pretty big gash and stick a couple hose clamps over it - works for years! As far as "cheap suction hose," I'll suggest that you don't skimp on that. If you buy used, you'll be getting someone else's leaky hose. If you try to buy something of a lesser quality, you'll be buying again before long. Go "all out" and get you some real suction hose, even if you have to bite the bullet (ie, high price) from Keene or hunt down Keene's supplier and get it for a bit less, perhaps.

Whatever you end up doing, good luck! Duct tape is cheap!
By the way--if you have to do an emergency repair job in the field, and still want some transparency to see plugs (not completely transparent, but at least it lets light pass through), use hockey shin-pad tape. It comes in decent sized rolls--it's transparent, tough, and man does it stay on!! I had to use it the season before last--my hose started to split and crack, I was in the gold fields, the hose was taking on air any place it was above the surface--it was a real mess.

I had a roll of shin-pad tape with me--worked like a dream--it's sticky, stretches, and it really gets down into those grooves between the ribs. I went home for a few days and took back a couple of more rolls with me--saved my bacon until I could get a new hose. Do an Internet search for the stuff--transparent shin-pad tape/hockey tape--you should get some hits.

***Addendum: www.FindTape.com and search for Shin Pad Tape.***

Hi Jason, yes lay flat hose can work as pressure hose to your suction nozzle, sometimes it has to be that way as it is almost impossible to carry in a really long solid hose if pump has to be any distance from nozzle. That solid hose gets heavy too, and adds another trip to the carry in phase. Lay flat is often how it has to be in smaller creeks, because of limited space and or water. Picture in my thread "Let Dredging Begin".
It's a lot more hassle though, as you are always having to reposition hose when you move even slightly, as it kinks and twists much more easily. So if you are only carrying a short distance, and you can put the pump within 7 to 10 yards of the nozzle it's better to use solid hose in my opinion. I tend to use lay flat as it's what I've got, originally for my highbanker, still waiting to be finished. Nuggy

John--great advice--I've used it many times for the hose, my wetsuit, boots, gloves--essential stuff. My hose had so many cracks that I ran out of goop! So, that's what made me desperate enough to try the shin-pad tape, and it worked like a charm. Hope to see you posting again soon.

All the best,

Hey there Nuggy--nice post reply there--I learned a few more tricks from your writings. You sure are knowledgeable and possess a great understanding of dredging. You've given me some ideas for things I'd like to try--and believe me, I've got all kinds of time to plot out plans for next dredge season.

All the best,

Lanny
