Product Overview The Manure Pump Suction Hose provides a flexible connection between a manure collection point and the inlet of a transfer pump. Its reinforced wall is designed to retain its shape under suction while accommodating practical routing around pits, tanks, and pump equipment. It is suited to pumpable liquid manure, screened slurry, and livestock wastewater when the selected hose material and assembly are compatible with the medium.
Key Features
  • Helical reinforcement supports the hose wall against collapse under pump suction.
  • Flexible construction simplifies connections where rigid piping is difficult to align.
  • A suitably sized bore helps maintain flow to the pump and limit intake restriction.
  • Compatible end fittings allow connection to pump inlets, suction pipes, or quick coupling systems.
  • Material and construction can be selected for the slurry, cleaning practices, climate, and expected wear.
Structural Components A typical assembly includes a flexible inner tube, a rigid reinforcing helix, an outer cover, and properly matched end connections. Depending on the installation, fittings may include cam-and-groove couplings, flanges, hose tails, and suitable clamps. A strainer or screened intake can be specified separately where oversized debris could enter the pump.
Working Principle As the manure pump operates, reduced pressure at its inlet draws liquid through the hose. The reinforcing helix helps preserve the flow passage under vacuum. Airtight connections, adequate submergence at the intake, and a route without sharp bends are important for reliable priming and consistent pump performance.
Technical Specifications
  • Hose material: Reinforced PVC or another compatible suction hose material, according to project requirements.
  • Internal diameter and length: Customizable to the pump inlet and site layout.
  • Vacuum and pressure ratings: Available upon request for the selected hose model.
  • Minimum bend radius: Confirmed for the selected diameter and construction.
  • End connections: Specified to match the pump and adjacent piping.
  • Operating environment: Designed according to local climate and farm conditions.
Applications Pump intake connections at pig house manure pits, slurry collection tanks, mobile manure pumps, wastewater sumps, and solid-liquid separation stations. The hose can also serve temporary transfer arrangements during farm maintenance or construction. The pump and intake system must be suitable for the actual solids and fiber content.
Customization Options Specify the required diameter, cut length, hose material, reinforcement, and coupling type. For pig farm construction or upgrades, provide the pump inlet size, intake depth, hose route, slurry characteristics, and installation location. These details help match the hose assembly to livestock equipment and nearby steel structure building services.
Installation & Maintenance Keep the suction route as short and direct as practical. Support the hose, observe its specified minimum bend radius, and prevent pulling loads from acting on the pump inlet. Fit compatible couplings securely and check every joint for air leaks before operation. Inspect the hose regularly for abrasion, cracks, soft spots, damaged reinforcement, and loose clamps; flush and store it according to the selected hose manufacturer's instructions.
Product FAQ

Can a flat discharge hose be used at the pump inlet?
The inlet requires a hose rated for suction. A discharge-only hose may collapse when the pump creates vacuum.

Can it handle manure containing bedding or long fibers?
Suitability depends on the pump, hose bore, and solids characteristics. Screening or chopping may be needed upstream.

What information is needed for selection?
Provide the pump model, inlet size, required hose length, conveyed material, expected operating conditions, and preferred end connections.
