All three share the same family DNA: PVC compound, chemical / pesticide resistance, all-season softness . They differ in the reinforcement layer — the part that decides how much pressure the hose can safely hold and how much it costs.
- Braided (double-layer + polyester braid) — high-density braiding, single or triple braid. The flagship for the toughest pressure demands.
- 5-Layer (three-glue two-line) — dual polyester spiral reinforcement. The balanced all-rounder for daily agricultural work.
- 3-Layer (two-glue one-line) — one polyester spiral line. The economical entry grade for light-duty spraying.

Frequently asked questions
Which spray hose should I choose for my farm or orchard?
For intensive orchard and field spraying with pesticide pumps, choose the braided hose (up to 280 BAR) or the 5-layer hose for daily agricultural work. For light spraying, garden watering and household sprayers, the 3-layer hose is the economical choice.
Which high pressure spray hose has the highest burst pressure?
The high pressure braided spray hose. With single or triple high-density polyester braiding it reaches 180–300 BAR burst pressure, versus 130–180 BAR for the 5-layer hose and 60–120 BAR for the 3-layer hose.
Can the length, color and braid of the spray hose be customized?
Yes. YINGHUIPVC offers custom coil lengths, custom colors, single or triple braid options and OEM / private label printing. MOQ, lead time and freight are quoted per specification.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for spray hoses?
MOQ depends on the specification and customization level. Contact our factory sales team for a quotation tailored to your size, length and packaging requirements.
