Lay Flat Slurry Hose Coupling, 4" to 10"
Anodised aluminium coupling for 4" to 10" manure and slurry drag and supply hose: forged shank, knurled grip ribs, extruded clamp; 4", 5" and 6" intermate without adapters, as do 7" and 8". Supplied loose or fitted to lay flat hose assemblies by Indus Hydraulics in the UAE.
Product description
A coupling made for slurry umbilical systems, where drag hose is coupled and uncoupled in the field with gloved, wet hands and has to withstand liquid manure. Knurled ribs give grip, the round body design reduces stress concentration, and the anodised aluminium resists manure corrosion.
Construction
- Hose shank: forged
- Grip: knurled ribs
- Clamp: re-attachable, extruded aluminium
- Finish: hard anodised aluminium
- Sizes: DN100 to DN250 (4" to 10")
Intermating sizes
The 4", 5" and 6" couplings connect to each other without adapters, and so do the 7" and 8" sizes, so a supply line and drag hose of different bores join directly.
Fitting large-bore lay flat couplings
- Cut the hose square and push it fully onto the shank before closing the clamp halves.
- Tighten the clamp bolts evenly, side to side, to the torque given for the size; re-check after the first pressurisation.
- Match the coupling to the hose: lay flat wall thickness varies by class, and a clamp sized for one wall will not hold another.
- Check the working pressure of both the hose and the coupling — the line is limited by the lower of the two.
- Inspect shanks, clamps and seals for damage before each deployment, and keep seals clean of grit.
How to order
Send the hose bore and type, the mating connection at the other end (Storz size, grooved pipe OD, flange standard and rating, or the mating half) and the working pressure. We supply couplings loose or fitted to the hose as assemblies. Price and lead time are confirmed with the quotation.

Industrial hose
Slurry umbilical systems explained: supply line, drag hose, reels and couplings
An umbilical system pumps slurry from the store through a hose to an applicator on the tractor — no tankers, no road trips, far less soil compaction. With low-emission spreading now required across Ireland, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands and Scotland, it is how many farms and contractors meet the rules. How the system is laid out, what each hose does, and how to choose supply line, drag hose, couplings and reels.

Low-emission slurry spreading rules in Europe: Ireland, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands and the UK
Splash plates are on their way out across north-west Europe. Ireland’s LESS rules now reach farms above 100 kg organic N per hectare; Germany requires strip application on grassland from February 2025; Denmark and the Netherlands have required low-emission methods for years; Scotland bans splash plates and goes further in 2027. What each country requires, which equipment counts, and what it means for hose.

Slurry drag hose: choosing 4", 5" or 6", and making it last
The drag hose is the part of an umbilical system that works hardest: pulled, turned and scrubbed across the field all day. Size it too small and the pump fights friction; too big and the tractor fights the weight. How to choose between 4", 5" and 6" drag hose, how supply and drag sizes fit together, and what shortens — and extends — drag hose life.
