Made in Australia — 25 Years of Hose Factory

Our Story: Australian Made Since 2000

Hose Factory was founded in 2000 in Melbourne, Victoria — and for 25 years we've been proudly Australian-owned and operated. What started as a trade-focused supplier has grown into one of Australia's most trusted names in hoses, fittings, and irrigation, serving homeowners, tradies, and industrial customers right across the country.

Our warehouse and operations are based in Dandenong, Melbourne — the heart of Victoria's industrial south-east. When you order from Hose Factory, you're supporting a local Australian business with a quarter-century of hands-on expertise.

What 'Made in Australia' Means at Hose Factory

We're proud to manufacture a range of our hoses right here in Australia. That matters more than you might think. Australian-made hoses are engineered specifically for our conditions — the harsh UV of the Aussie sun, the demands of a busy jobsite, and the temperature extremes that imported products often can't handle long-term.

Our locally manufactured hoses are built for UV stability, durability, and compliance with Australian Standards — not just designed to a price point. We'll always be upfront about which products are Australian-made and which are sourced from trusted international suppliers, so you can make an informed choice.

Australian Standards — Plain English

We take compliance seriously. Here's what the key standards mean for you:

• AS2554 Class B — Garden Hoses: This is the Australian Standard for garden hose performance and safety. Class B hoses meet requirements for burst pressure, kink resistance, and UV stability — so you know the hose won't let you down under normal use conditions.
• AS2698.1 — Poly Pipe: The standard governing polyethylene pipe used in irrigation and water supply. Compliance means the pipe meets strict requirements for pressure rating, dimensions, and material quality — critical for reliable, long-lasting irrigation systems.
• AS2660 — Food & Water Grade: Products meeting this standard are safe for use with drinking water and food-contact applications. If you're connecting to a potable water supply, look for this certification — it's non-negotiable for health and safety.

Why It Matters to Buy Right

Cheap hoses and fittings that don't meet Australian Standards can fail under pressure, degrade quickly in UV, or leach chemicals into drinking water. At Hose Factory, we stock products that meet the standards Australians expect — and we back that up with our warranty and price-match guarantee.

Our Promises to You
