Replacement Peristaltic Pump Hoses

Cross-Reference for Vector, Bredel, Albin, Verder, Abaque, Hua Yun & More

Industrial peristaltic pumps (hose pumps) are seal-less positive-displacement pumps that excel at viscous liquids and fluids containing a high percentage of solids — including wastewater, chemical slurries and food-processing applications. Their simple design means the primary wear item is the hose.

Most industrial-grade hoses are designed for more than 1,500 hours of service. The major brands use similar materials and operate on the same principle. The guide below summarizes the six most common brands and provides a universal cross-reference so you can order the correct replacement hose.

Shoe vs. Roller Designs

There are two primary hose-compression methods:

• Shoe design — Two or more rounded shoes slide against the hose. The compression zone is filled with lubricant. Capable of pressures up to approximately 232 PSIG.
• Roller design — Rollers compress the hose with lower friction; usually only light external grease is required. Typically limited to <100 PSIG. The Hua Yun “lubricated roller” hybrid combines the benefits of both approaches and can operate up to 232 PSIG with longer hose life.

Most brands source hoses from a small number of specialty manufacturers, which is why ID dimensions are often identical and OD varies by only about 1 mm. Length is the dimension that differs most. We can supply Vector and Hua Yun hoses and trim them to the exact length required for other brands.

Important Measurement Notes

• Always confirm hose ID, OD and length before ordering.
• In the USA a 1½″ connection may be adapted to 32 mm or 40 mm ID hoses — do not assume the connection size equals the hose ID.
• A longer hose can be trimmed; a short hose cannot be properly extended.
