A flexible conduit with a 5/8-inch internal diameter, specifically engineered for low-pressure cleaning applications, facilitates the delivery of cleaning solutions from a pump to a dispensing nozzle. This type of hose is commonly used in exterior cleaning to apply detergents and algaecides at low pressure, minimizing the risk of damage to delicate surfaces. For example, it might be used to apply a bleach solution to remove mold and mildew from siding.
Its utility lies in its capacity to handle chemicals and maintain flexibility under varied temperature conditions. The specific diameter allows for adequate flow rate while ensuring maneuverability, which is critical for reaching difficult areas. Historically, the development of these hoses reflects advancements in polymer technology, allowing for increased durability and chemical resistance compared to earlier generations of cleaning equipment. Benefits include safer cleaning of fragile surfaces, reduced water consumption compared to pressure washing, and effective removal of organic growth.
