The GrippaTank HydroHeat™ Reinforced Hose is a premium-grade 6mm internal diameter reel hose designed for use with heated pure water systems. Featuring a combination of rubber and PVC materials, HydroHeat provides excellent flexibility, superb durability, and strong temperature-holding properties — even in sub-zero conditions.

HydroHeat hoses are designed specifically for use with GrippaTank's diesel-fired water heating systems. Unlike standard hoses, the rubber/PVC blend maintains high flexibility without collapsing or kinking when hot, offering a professional-grade solution for year-round operation.

Important Note:

GrippaTank does not offer HydroHeat hoses in 8mm ID.

8mm hoses are not recommended for diesel hot water systems because:

• The increased bore size would reduce heating efficiency and lower water temperatures.
• The heavier weight of 8mm hose increases operator fatigue.

Stick with the tested and proven 6mm specification for maximum performance and ease of use.
