Dixon Hose Fittings, Lay Flat Hose, PVC Suction Hose & Industrial Fluid Handling

Dixon is a globally recognised industrial fluid handling brand with an extensive product catalogue spanning hose fittings, couplings, lay flat hose, suction hose, sheet rubber, washdown guns, valve fittings, and fluid transfer accessories across mining, construction, agriculture, fire fighting, and general industrial markets.

Dixon’s history in the fluid handling industry spans over a century, making it one of the most established and broadly trusted names in hose coupling and industrial hose supply worldwide.

In Australia, Dixon products are used wherever fluids need to be transferred, contained, or directed — from mine site dewatering to agricultural irrigation, from food processing to construction washdown, from petrochemical transfer to fire protection systems. The breadth of the Dixon catalogue is one of its defining characteristic, covering everything from the lay flat hose used on a dewatering pump to the BSP cam-lock couplings on the pump discharge manifold, the sheet rubber gaskets on the flange connections, the coupling lubricant for assembly and maintenance, and the washdown gun at the end of the water service line.

This catalogue depth reduces the number of suppliers a maintenance or procurement team needs to manage for fluid handling requirements.

Dixon’s lay flat hose range is particularly significant in the Australian mining and construction market, where large-volume temporary water transfer is a routine operational requirement for dewatering excavations, settling ponds, site dust suppression, and potable water supply on remote sites.

Lay flat hose stores compactly when empty and can be deployed in long runs without the rigid pipe infrastructure required for permanent installations, making it the preferred solution for temporary and semi-permanent water transfer on sites where conditions change regularly.

Dixon’s PVC suction hose range provides the flexible, vacuum-rated hose needed for pump suction lines, tank draining, and fluid transfer applications where a rigid suction pipe cannot be accommodated.

AIMS Industrial sells Dixon hose, fittings, and fluid handling accessories for direct online ordering with delivery across Australia.

Dixon Lay Flat Hose, PVC Suction Hose & Sheet Rubber

Dixon’s hose and rubber range covers the major flexible fluid containment and transfer requirements in Australian industrial and civil operations. Buy online at AIMS Industrial for fast delivery.

• Dixon Medium Duty Blue Layflat Hose: Dixon’s medium-duty blue lay flat discharge hose for temporary and semi-permanent water transfer in dewatering, irrigation, dust suppression, and construction site water management applications. Lay flat hose collapses flat when empty for compact storage and transport, then pressurises to a round section in operation. The medium-duty construction suits submersible pump discharge pressures typically encountered in construction dewatering and site water management. Available in a range of bore sizes from 50mm to 200mm and in full-reel lengths to suit long-run transfer applications across large sites.
• Dixon Metaflex PVC Suction Hose — Clear Food Grade: A clear PVC suction and discharge hose with a rigid helix support for pump suction lines, tank draining, and fluid transfer applications in food and beverage, water supply, and general process industry. The clear wall allows visual inspection of flow and contaminant ingress without disconnecting the hose, and the food-grade PVC compound meets the material requirements for food contact and potable water applications. The external helix provides crush resistance under vacuum conditions, preventing hose collapse on pump suction lines where internal vacuum would flatten a non-reinforced hose.
• Dixon Natural Insertion Industrial Sheet Rubber: Industrial sheet rubber with a natural rubber compound and fabric insertion reinforcement for gasket cutting, sealing applications, liner material, and general industrial rubber fabrication. Sheet rubber is a fundamental workshop material for cutting custom gaskets to fit non-standard flanges, valve seats, expansion joints, and equipment covers where moulded gaskets are not available. The fabric insertion provides dimensional stability and cut resistance compared to unreinforced sheet rubber. Available in a range of thicknesses and hardness ratings for different sealing pressure requirements.
• Dixon Rubber Straight Radiator Hose Black: A straight-cut black rubber radiator hose section for vehicle cooling system repair, custom radiator plumbing, and coolant transfer applications. Straight rubber hose sections are used as connector pieces between curved moulded hoses and as replacements for sections of vehicle-specific hoses that have perished or cracked. The black rubber compound is formulated for resistance to antifreeze coolant, water, and the temperature cycling of vehicle cooling system operation. Available in multiple bore diameters to suit common radiator and coolant hose diameters.

Dixon Washdown Guns, Coupling Hardware & Ancillaries

Dixon’s coupling and washdown range provides the connection hardware, cleaning equipment, and maintenance accessories needed across industrial fluid handling systems. Order from AIMS Industrial.

• Dixon 1/2" Washdown Gun Heavy Duty 350psi BSP: A heavy-duty 1/2" BSP washdown gun rated to 350psi for industrial cleaning, vehicle washdown, dust suppression, and general site water application. Heavy-duty washdown guns are built to withstand the continuous operation, dropped-tool impacts, and exposure to UV and ozone that standard consumer-grade guns cannot tolerate. The 350psi rating suits most industrial water supply pressures including booster pump systems. The BSP connection is compatible with standard Australian hose fittings and hose reels. The trigger mechanism provides positive on/off control with a locking option to avoid hand fatigue during sustained washdown operations.
• Dixon Shouldered Weld Ring Mild Steel: A mild steel shouldered weld ring for welding into pipeline ends to create a shouldered cam-lock or hose coupling fitting interface on custom fabricated pipework and suction manifolds. Weld rings are used by fabricators who need to integrate quick-release coupling connections into welded pipe assemblies without purchasing pre-fabricated threaded or flanged fittings. The shoulder profile ensures consistent coupling engagement depth and seating for reliable coupling operation after field welding.
• Dixon Coupling Lubricant: A proprietary coupling lubricant for assembly, disassembly, and maintenance of cam-lock couplings, storz couplings, and other quick-release hose fittings. Coupling lubricant reduces the force required to connect and disconnect couplings that have been in service under pressure or have corroded or stiffened at the sealing surfaces, and extends seal life by preventing the drying and cracking of elastomeric seals in couplings exposed to heat and UV. An inexpensive but essential maintenance item for any operation using quick-release hose couplings that must be regularly connected and disconnected.
• Dixon Poly Metric Spanner Cast Iron: A cast iron poly (hydrant) spanner for operating fire hydrant landing valves, gate valves, and other rotating valve stems with a square or pentagonal driving profile that a standard open-jaw spanner cannot engage. Poly spanners are a required tool on fire hose reels and fire hydrant systems where the valve stems are designed to be operated with a dedicated spanner rather than a handle to prevent unauthorised operation. Cast iron construction provides the weight and rigidity needed for high-torque valve operation.
