Figures are from Dixon's industrial hose catalogue. The catalogue ID is shown in millimetres; the store size options round it (for example 76 mm for 76.2 mm). Pressure figures for the 152.4 mm hose are not shown because Dixon's documents disagree on them. Dixon prints the 20 m length as the 020 at the end of each part number.
Selecting the right option
Working pressure falls steeply with size, and the vacuum rating also drops above 45 mm ID, so read the row for your size. Dixon lists the hose to 60°C, so it is not listed for hot product. Confirm the pressure rating for your size with Dixon if you are using it for positive pressure.
