Why Composite Hoses for Fuel Transfer?

Composite hoses are a proven choice for fuel transfer applications due to their flexibility, lightweight construction, and resistance to a wide range of hydrocarbons and chemicals. Unlike traditional rubber hoses, composite hoses are constructed from multiple layers of thermoplastic films and fabrics, reinforced with an internal and external wire helix.

Advantages of Composite Hoses in Fuel Transfer:

Lightweight – Easier for operators to handle and manoeuvre compared to heavy rubber hoses.
Flexibility – Superior bending radius for tight site conditions.
Durability – Multi-layered construction provides resistance to abrasion, crushing, and external wear.
Chemical Resistance – Compatible with a wide variety of fuels, oils, and solvents.
Compliance – Manufactured and tested to AS2683, ensuring compliance with Australian safety standards.

Spotlight on the Supplied Hose Types

Composite Code 1003 Hoses

The Code 1003 hoses supplied in 100mm diameter were ideal for bulk fuel transfer at high flow rates. With their robust layered design and stainless steel camlocks, these hoses deliver:

Heavy-duty performance
Resistance to hydrocarbons and fuels
Long service life under demanding conditions

The inclusion of both 20m and 5m hose lengths provides the flexibility for the client to set up across multiple pumping and transfer points.

Composite Code 1000 Hoses

The Code 1000 hoses in 50mm diameter were supplied in both 10m and 5m lengths, providing lightweight options for smaller transfer operations. These hoses are particularly well-suited for operators needing:

Lightweight handling with reduced strain
Reliable chemical resistance
Tight-bend manoeuvrability in confined areas

By combining Code 1000 and Code 1003 hoses, Fox Global supplied a balanced solution that could handle both bulk transfer and smaller-scale flexible applications.

Safety First – Tested, Tagged, and Certified

Every hose supplied by Fox Global is:

Crimped with stainless steel camlocks to ensure leak-free, secure connections.
Hydrostatically Tested to confirm safe working pressures.
Tagged with clear identification for traceability.
Certified to AS2683, meeting Australian standards for composite hoses used in fuel and chemical applications.

This ensures that when hoses arrive on site, they are not just ready for use—they are proven safe and compliant.
