How long do PVC Hoses Last

The service life of PVC Hoses is usually about 15 years, which is a more common standard. However, this value is not fixed, the actual service life is affected by a number of factors, including the use of the environment, material quality, production technology, maintenance conditions, etc. For example, if PVC Hoses are embedded in the ground or walls, they are less affected by the external environment and may have a longer service life.

In addition, there are regulations that point out that the service life of PVC Hoses requires protection of at least 50 years, but this is mainly for specific types of installation and use conditions. In practical applications, especially exposed PVC Hoses, enduring long-term sun and rain may accelerate the aging process, thereby shortening the service life. Water containing oxidizing substances or conditions of use outside the recommended temperature range can also adversely affect the life of PVC Hoses.

Therefore, although the general life expectancy is about 15 years, in order to ensure safety and efficiency, it is recommended to check the condition of PVC Hoses regularly and consider replacement according to the actual situation.
