Two factory quotes next to a 2 inch PVC hose sample

2 inch pvc hose

Compare factory replies against the same 2 inch pvc hose basis. Two inches of inner diameter on one offer and “DN50 equivalent” on another is not a comparison until both plants reprint the bore in inches or millimetres. PVC Hose Sourcing does not publish its own size chart as a catalog.

Are the 2 inch pvc hose quotes being compared on the same basis?

Start with the bore. 2 in ID, 50 mm ID, and a supplier’s house “2 inch nominal” are three different rulers if the wall changes. If Factory A quotes 2 in ID clear reinforced hose in a stated working pressure in psi and Factory B quotes “2 inch water hose”, the gap is a specification gap before it is a price gap.

A cheaper-looking number on a different length, a different fitting set or a missing SAE/ASTM method is a different deal. This desk will not recast that gap as a market percentage.

Length, end fittings and the applicable SAE or ASTM standard explain many remaining gaps. Bulk coil versus a crimped assembly is not a courtesy upgrade. If the specification moves — bore, wall, fittings or destination — the line must be re-quoted. Keep the original reply on file so later lots can be compared with the approved item.

Scope differences that usually explain a price gap

Ask which 2 inch ruler the factory used: inner diameter or a nominal trade size. Reprint ID and wall in inches or millimetres on the invoice description.

Name cut length, whether ends are open, barbed or camlock, and the SAE or ASTM method the buyer will accept. A plant ISO certificate does not replace that line. Thermoplastic PVC versus vulcanized rubber remains a buyer trade-off for heat and oil.

Per-foot price without reel, export carton or freight is incomplete. If the specification moves, re-quote the whole line rather than editing one cell.
