The High-Quality Reinforced 6mm 100m Microbore Hose you described has the following specifications:
-
Outer Diameter: 11mm
-
Inner Diameter: 6.3mm
-
Usage: This 6mm reinforced hose is commonly used in water-fed pole window cleaning systems to transfer water from a tank to the cleaning pole. Having 100 meters of hose allows the user to keep the hose reel close to the tank, typically in a van, and easily unreel it around buildings.
-
Advantages:
- Lighter than 8mm hose: This hose is lighter and somewhat easier to handle than the more popular 8mm hose, making it more maneuverable.
- Higher Strain on Pumps: Due to its smaller inner diameter, 6mm hose exerts a higher constant pressure on the pumps, which may impact the performance of the system.
- Rated to 60 degrees: This hose is rated for use in temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius.
- Made in Europe: It is manufactured in Europe, which often implies a certain level of quality and adherence to safety standards.
This hose appears to be suitable for water-fed pole window cleaning systems where lightweight and maneuverability are important. However, as mentioned, it exerts higher pressure on the pumps, so it's essential to ensure that your system can handle this pressure. Always consider the specific requirements of your application before selecting a hose. If you have any doubts, it's a good idea to consult with the manufacturer or a specialist to ensure compatibility and performance.

6 mm Microbore Yellow Hose (100 m) — FAQs
1. What is the 6 mm Microbore Yellow Hose?
It’s a 100 metre reinforced PVC microbore hose with a 6 mm internal diameter and ~11 mm outer diameter designed for use with water‑fed window cleaning systems and hose reels.
2. What does “6 mm microbore” mean?
“6 mm” refers to the inner diameter (ID) of the hose — a standard size for water‑fed pole systems that’s lighter and easier to handle than larger diameter hoses.
3. What is the hose used for?
It’s mainly used to transfer water from your tank, reel or pump to a water‑fed pole brush, especially in window cleaning applications where long hose runs are needed.
4. Why is the hose yellow?
The high‑visibility yellow colour makes the hose easier to see on site, improving safety by reducing trip hazards and helping you keep track of the line while working.
5. Is this hose reinforced?
Yes — the hose is reinforced internally so it’s stronger, more abrasion‑resistant and kink‑resistant than non‑reinforced PVC hoses.
6. Is it suitable for professional use?
Yes — its length, durability and flexibility make it ideal for professional window cleaners and those using water‑fed pole systems on long jobs.
7. How does it handle water flow?
A smaller 6 mm bore gives good water delivery while keeping the hose light. However, it puts higher load on pumps compared to 8 mm hoses, so ensure your system is sized correctly.
8. What temperatures can it handle?
Reinforced PVC microbore hoses like this typically operate with cold to moderately warm water, often up to around 60 °C.
9. Does it work with hose reels and guides?
Absolutely — the 6 mm size fits most manual and powered hose reels, through‑floor guides, and hose guides used in water‑fed pole setups.
10. Who is this hose ideal for?
It’s best for window cleaners and exterior cleaners who want a lightweight, flexible hose that’s easy to reel, uncoil and manage on site.
