This Signa 100-foot solution hose is the pressure line that carries hot solution from your truckmount to the wand - and it is built with the safety margins that job demands: 4,000 PSI working pressure, 6,000 PSI proof, and a 17,000 PSI burst rating. After 18 months of testing in selected store locations, it met or exceeded the performance of the leading competitive hose. Veteran cleaner Jack Roth put it plainly: he ran it in the toughest cleaning situations for a year without a single failure.
Use Cases
One hose covers the standard solution-line jobs:
- Primary 100-foot solution run from truckmount to wand on residential and commercial work
- Hot water extraction with heat exchanger temperatures up to 250 degrees F
- Hard-surface and tile cleaning rigs running high solution pressure to spinner tools
- Replacing kinked or weather-cracked solution hose before it fails on a job
- Extension runs - pre-made sections couple cleanly with the plated male ends
Solution hose is a wear item that fails at the worst possible time - usually at a fitting, inside a customer's home. Two construction details on this Signa hose address exactly that: the steel braid carries the pressure load so the cover can stay smooth and flexible, and the molded bend restrictors at both ends prevent the sharp flex at the fittings where most hoses kink and fatigue. The 18-month field test program in working stores - not a lab - is what the rating numbers stand on, and the result matched or beat the leading competitive hose at a better price. At 100 feet it reaches most residential work from the driveway without a coupler, and pre-made sections couple cleanly when longer runs are needed.
Specifications
Steel-braided pressure hose, 1/4-inch x 100 ft, smooth blue cover. Working pressure 4,000 PSI; proof pressure 6,000 PSI; burst pressure 17,000 PSI. Temperature range -15 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Pre-made section with zinc-plated steel male hose ends and black bend restrictors at both ends.
Hose discipline extends service life measurably: keep the hose off hot exhaust, sweep it in wide arcs rather than sharp pulls around corners, and store it coiled rather than folded. Inspect the few inches behind each fitting monthly - that is where fatigue shows first - and retire a hose at the first sign of cover blistering or braid exposure.
Many operators also run a short whip line at the truckmount end to absorb vibration before it reaches the main hose, and mark each hose with an in-service date so the rotation schedule is visible at a glance. Combined with the bend restrictors and steel braid, those habits routinely take a quality solution hose through multiple seasons of daily route work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this hose rated for truckmount heat?
Yes. It is rated from -15 to 250 degrees F, which covers the solution temperatures produced by truckmount heat exchangers.
What pressure can it handle?
Working pressure is 4,000 PSI, with a 6,000 PSI proof test and 17,000 PSI burst rating - a wide margin over the 400-1,200 PSI most carpet and tile work actually runs.
Will the cover mark walls or carpet?
The smooth blue cover is designed to slide over carpet and around corners without the scuffing associated with rough-jacketed pressure hose.
Are the ends standard fittings?
Yes - 1/4-inch zinc-plated steel male ends with black bend restrictors at both ends, the standard for carpet cleaning solution lines and quick connects.
