Industrial Hose

Industrial hoses are rugged, flexible tubes designed to carry a wide variety of fluids, gases, and materials in heavy duty settings. Abdex has been suppling industrial hose solutions nationwide for over 50 years. We partner with leading manufacturers (ContiTech, Gates, Parker etc.) to bring premium hose to the Australian market. Each hose assembly we provide is pressure tested and certified to international standards, ensuring safety and performance.

Why Choose Abdex For Industrial Hoses?
  •     •   Certified Quality: Every hose assembly is pressure tested and certified to international standards ensuring reliability and safety. 
  •     •   Extensive Range: We stock hoses in a diverse materials (rubber, PVC, thermoplastic, nylon etc.) to handle air, water, chemicals, fuels and more. Whether you need low pressure            or ultra high pressure hose, we have it. 
  •     •   Custom Solutions: Our workshops can cut and crimp hoses to any required length with precision. We can crimp hoses up to 8″ (203mm) nominal bore and fit them with the                  appropriate couplings and fittings. If you need a non standard assembly, just let us know – we’ll make it to order. 
  •     •   One Stop Service: We supply a full system – hose, end fittings (camlocks, Bauer, NPT, flanges, etc.), and pressure testing – so you don’t have to deal with multiple suppliers.                Our hose management service (including asset tracking and recertification) helps minimise downtime.

Chemical Hoses

For the transfer of a variety of current industrial chemicals used today. (Refer to chemical resistance guide for compatibility).

Air & Multipurpose

Air & multipurpose industrial hoses with a wide range of applications in factories, construction, agriculture, quarries, mines, railroads, the oil and gas industry, and ship building.

Petroleum Transfer

General purpose hoses used to transfer gasoline, oil and other petroleum based products. Hoses are specifically designed for pressure, gravity flow or suction service.

PTFE

The inner hose core is manufactured from PTFE. No pigments or additives are incorporated thus giving the hose liner a translucent appearance from for contamination.

Suction & Discharge

General purpose suction and delivery hose for use in medium to heavy duty operations. Made with a strong focus on flexibility and force to bend properties.

Truck Vacuum Hoses

Abrasion resistant suction hoses for vacuum trucks or handling abrasives, such as crushed rock, sand, pea gravel, cement powder, dry fertiliser, iron ore and grains.

Water Jetting Hoses

Medium to high pressure jetting and blasting applications including drain, sewer and stack pipe cleaning / unblocking

Food & Beverage / Gas Transfer

Our hoses for food, beverage and gas transfer are subject to stringent hygiene regulations and numerous standards.

Camlock Fittings

Our camlock fittings range from 1/2" to 6" in sizing across the different camlock types.

FAQ

The key difference lies in their application and pressure handling. Hydraulic hoses are specifically designed to transmit high-pressure fluid in hydraulic systems—commonly found in construction, mining, and heavy machinery. They’re reinforced to handle extreme pressures and often have tighter safety standards.

On the other hand, industrial hoses are used for a broader range of general-purpose applications such as air, water, chemical, steam, or food transfer. They typically operate at lower pressures than hydraulic hoses and are chosen based on the material being transferred, temperature, and environmental factors.

At Abdex, we supply both types and can help you choose the right hose for your specific application—whether you’re powering a hydraulic system or transferring chemicals in an industrial plant.

Absolutely. Abdex has the capacity and stock to handle bulk orders all across Australia at our Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane branches and ongoing supply contracts for large-scale operations. 

When selecting an industrial hose, it’s essential to consider the STAMPED criteria:

  • Size – Inside diameter, outside diameter, and length required.

  • Temperature – Both the temperature of the material being conveyed and the external environment.

  • Application – What the hose will be used for (e.g. chemical transfer, water blasting, food handling).

  • Material – Compatibility with the media being transferred (abrasive, corrosive, food-safe, etc.).

  • Pressure – Maximum working and burst pressures the hose must withstand.

  • Ends – The type of hose fittings or couplings required for secure connections.

  • Delivery – Any special delivery or handling requirements, such as custom assemblies or urgent dispatch.

Choosing the right hose ensures safety, reliability, and extended service life. At Abdex, our team is here to guide you through every step to ensure you get the best hose for your industrial application.
