Frequently asked questions & answers
Can’t find the answer to your question? You can always Contact Our Team of Experts for a chat!
Why is calibration hose important in CIPP installations?
Calibration hose (or cal tube as it’s known as) controls the shape of the liner during installation and cure, helping you achieve the correct wall thickness and a smooth internal finish rather than lumps and folds.
What sizes and types of calibration hose do you supply?
We supply a range of house diameters and constructions to suit domestic relining through to larger mains, matched to the liners and curing methods we support. Whether light duty for every day small bore lining up to large heavy-duty requirements and UV calibration, we have right cal tube for the job.
Can your calibration hose be reused, or is it disposable?
For the most part they are disposable, but depending on the product and how it’s used, some hoses can be reused for multiple installations. While others are designed for single‑use – we’ll explain the practical pros and cons for your typical work.
Do you help with choosing hose for bends, offsets and odd host pipes?
Yes, we can recommend hose types that track through bends and bridge diameter changes more easily, so you don’t spend half the day wrestling gear instead of installing liners.
