A couple of the hoses getting supplied to a Sydney Water STP project. Blue Nitrile/PVC Suction Hose fitted with When it comes to major infrastructure projects, reliability is not optional — it’s essential. For Sydney Water’s Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) project, Fox Global supplied Flanged AS4087 PVC Blue Suction Hose assemblies fitted with Stainless Steel AS4087 flanges and BSP unions, ensuring a secure, durable, and leak-free fluid transfer solution.
Our hoses are designed and assembled to withstand demanding conditions while delivering exceptional performance. From suction to discharge, every component is engineered for Australian standards compliance, long service life, and safe operation.
The Role of Suction Hoses in STP Operations
Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) operate in harsh environments where pumps handle slurries, wastewater, and mixed solids. In these conditions, the hose system is just as critical as the pump itself.
A well-selected suction hose must:
- Maintain flexibility for installation and servicing.
- Withstand abrasive media.
- Resist chemical degradation.
- Retain strength under vacuum and pressure.
Our PVC Blue Nitrile Suction Hose is a perfect match for STP applications, thanks to its abrasion-resistant inner lining, UV-stable construction, and reinforced spiral helix for structural integrity.
Why AS4087 Flanged Connections Matter
The AS4087 flange standard ensures compatibility with most Australian water utility systems. This eliminates the guesswork when integrating hoses into pumps, valves, and fixed pipelines.
Benefits of using AS4087 flanges:
- Precise bolt alignment for quick installation.
- High sealing performance under pressure.
- Reduced risk of leaks and downtime.
- Long-term compatibility with other infrastructure.
At Fox Global, we machine and fit stainless steel flanges in-house, giving our customers faster turnaround and complete quality control.
