An Overview of Spray Hoses
Hose Foam Sprayers Defined
As industry experts are aware, spray foam hoses are durable and flexible hoses that are able to transfer the liquid components that make up spray foam insulation. The goal of the hose foam sprayer is to transfer the liquid component from the proportioner to the spray gun for a smooth and even end product.
What to Know About Our Spray Hoses
The PMC hoses are designed with a transformer in order to fit many hose lengths. These spray foam hoses are built for the application of polyurea and chemical systems, polyurethane foam chemical systems, and a number of specific two-component epoxy systems.
In order to produce the most reliable form of heat obtainable, 100% of the circumferential is sheltered with a braided, tinned copper jacket. The heating element of the hose is very much resistant to fatigue and failure.
The high-pressure and heated hoses range from 2,000 psi up to 3,500 psi and the lengths range from 10 feet to 50 feet and can be secured together to make up to 410 feet. So, you don’t need to worry about joining different hoses to make one long one as they are available in lengthier sizes.

Hose Foam Sprayer FAQs – Additional Information
Do you want to know more info about spray hoses, as well as how they can best be used in your applications? If so, check out answers to some of our most commonly asked questions to learn more.
What are spray hoses typically made of?
When working with liquid components comprised of different chemicals and contained at different pressures, it’s important to have a hose foam sprayer suited for the job. That is why most spray hoses are made of nylon and other polymers to complete any spray foam insulation projects.
How should I clean my hose foam sprayer?
When working with spray foam hoses, we recommend cleaning the inside of the hose after each use for the best results. For a quick cleanup before your next use, you can simply pump the cleaning solvent through the hose as if you were applying the insulation.
If you’re looking for more of a deep clean of your spray hose, you can completely submerge the hose in the solvent as often as needed. A deep clean will ensure that your hose is free of any excess insulation product before the next application.
What temperatures can my spray foam hose withstand?
Based on the polyurethane materials that make up spray hoses today, the spray foam equipment can work with liquid components as hot as approximately 140 °F depending on whether it is an open-cell or closed-cell application.
Though there is a wide temperature range, our team does not recommend straying outside the listed temperatures, as doing so can cause cracking or fatigue of your hose foam sprayer, ultimately leading to it needing to be replaced.
When should I replace my spray hose?
Your hose foam sprayer should be inspected regularly to ensure that there is no damage to the hose itself. If there is damage, we recommend replacing your hose before the next use.
Spray foam hoses usually need to be replaced every 6 to 12 months depending on the frequency of use. To extend the lifespan of your spray hose, we recommend properly cleaning and storing the hose when you are not using it. Wrapping your hose in scuff guard and protecting end points with duct tape can increase the longevity of your hose.
How can I learn more about how to use my spray hose and spray foam equipment?
