Transparent PVC Hose 18×22mm - Food-Grade Brewing Tubing per Meter

This transparent unreinforced PVC hose is a large-bore, food-grade tubing solution for homebrewers who need high-volume liquid transfer capability without the cost of silicone. Available per linear meter, it gives you exactly the length you need — whether you're replacing a worn section of kettle drain tubing, plumbing a high-flow pump connection, or routing wort between vessels across a longer brewery run.

What makes this hose a practical workhorse for high-volume brewing applications is its combination of clarity, flexibility, and food-grade material properties. The transparent wall lets you monitor flow and immediately spot air ingress, sediment carry-over, or discolouration during transfers — a genuinely useful feature when racking or moving large volumes between vessels. The 18×22mm inner-to-outer diameter profile makes this one of the larger-bore PVC hose sizes available for homebrewing, delivering a high flow rate with minimal restriction — ideal for gravity-fed kettle drains, pump outlet lines, and chiller connections where flow rate matters. The PVC formulation is fully taste-neutral and will not impart flavour or odour to your beer, wine, cider, or mead under normal use conditions.

Rated to a maximum of 60°C, this hose handles warm wort transfers and hot-side cleaning comfortably, though it is not intended for boiling temperatures or sustained high-pressure applications. For high-temperature hot-side work, consider upgrading to food-grade silicone hose of the same diameter.

Transparent unreinforced PVC hose Flexible, food-grade, and easy to cut to length. Compatible with standard barbed fittings in the 18mm ID range.
