Braided Hose

Braided hoses are one of the most commonly used types of hoses on the market today. Considered a versatile reinforced hose, different sizes and configurations of the braided hose are used around the home, in manufacturing plants, and in municipal utility systems. Essentially, the hose can be utilized to move both liquid and gases from a point of origin to a destination safely and efficiently.

The feature that helps to make the braided hose unique is the reinforcement that is woven over the tubing of the hose. Depending on the size and intended purpose for the hose, a single segment or multiple segments of yard cord or wire is woven over the body of the tube. The presence of the wire or cording enhances the integrity of the hose, and helps to provide the device with added strength.

While some braided hoses are almost rigid in their construction, they are also hose products of this type that are highly flexible. One example would be the hoses designed for use in providing water to a garden. While the cording or wire helps the tubing to remain intact even when there is a great deal of water pressure, that reinforcement does not prevent the hose from being rolled for easy storage.
