Washdown hoses convey a powerful jet of water for washing equipment and surfaces in food- and beverage-processing plants, dairies, paper mills, and other industrial areas. Sometimes called water washdown hoses, they are used in sanitation and janitorial tasks. Bulk washdown hoses can be cut to the desired length and compatible hose fittings can be added to the ends of the hoses to create custom hose assemblies. Washdown hose assemblies come with fittings installed on the ends of the hose and are ready to be connected to equipment.
