Lay Flat Hose Couplings
Couplings made for lay flat hose, from 1" fire hose to 16" dewatering mains. Large-bore couplings use a forged shank and a re-attachable bolted clamp, and end in a grooved, Storz, flanged or male × female connection; high-pressure, slurry, well riser and expansion ring couplings cover the special duties. We also fit them, supplying ready-made hose assemblies.
Delivery
Lay Flat Hose Couplings across the Gulf
Ex-stock from Dubai, delivered within 3 working days in the UAE.
Lay flat hose is the easiest large-bore line to move: empty, it rolls flat, so several hundred metres travel on one reel and a container holds a whole dewatering or transfer system. It ships from Dubai as bulk coils up to 400 m or as made-up assemblies with the couplings fitted and tested, with the size table and pressure rating for each bore. Send the flow, the line length and the lift, and we will size the bore before quoting.

How to repair lay flat hose: cutting out, re-coupling and menders
A cut, a burst fold or a crushed coupling does not have to mean a new hose. Most lay flat damage is repaired by cutting out the bad section and re-coupling, or — on low-pressure lines — joining the ends with a mender. When to repair and when to scrap, how to make each repair properly, and the extra rules that apply to fire hose.

Lay flat hose couplings: Bauer, camlock, Storz, grooved and flanged compared
A lay flat line is only as good as its joints. Small bores take camlock, Storz or Bauer couplings banded onto the hose; from 4" up, purpose-made couplings with forged shanks and bolted clamps end in grooved, Storz, flanged or high-pressure connections. Here is how each family works, where it fits, and how to fit one so it stays on.

Frac water transfer with lay flat hose: sizing, pressure and layout for GCC well pads
A fractured gas well can take millions of litres of water, delivered at rates of 40 to 100+ barrels a minute. Large-bore lay flat hose moves it from pond to pad faster than any temporary pipe. How to size the line, what pressure it must carry, which couplings hold, and what changes when the water is treated seawater — as at Saudi Arabia’s Jafurah field.
