Hose Length Estimator
Build a route plan segment by segment, add the number and type of fittings, and calculate the total hose length to order — including a configurable routing and waste buffer. Use preset routes or enter your own measurements.

Measurement Tips
Measure the centreline. For every bend in the route, measure along the centreline of the hose path — not the inside or outside of the bend. Use string or wire to trace the route first.
Fitting insertion depth. Each fitting end requires the hose to be inserted a certain depth for proper sealing. These lengths are already included in this estimator's fitting allowances.
Order 10–15% extra. Always add buffer for routing adjustments, assembly errors, and possible re-cuts. Hose is inexpensive relative to the cost of a second order or a leak.
Minimum bend radius. Ensure each segment allows for the minimum bend radius of your chosen hose. Tight bends that collapse the bore are not accounted for in straight-line segment lengths.
