All Suction Hoses & Lances
At MAXA Group, we supply suction hoses and lances that support safe, clean waste removal from welfare toilets, built for robustness and easy handling. A discharge hose carries waste or fluid away from the tank once it's been drawn up, while a suction hose is used to draw waste or fluid into the tank in the first place - many of our hoses are rated for both suction and discharge use, so check the product description if your application needs one specifically.
Connect using cam couplers or Bauer fittings, and maintain vacuum equipment with suction tanker spares. Toilet suction lances combine a rigid tube with a valve, letting you draw waste directly from the tank without disconnecting the hose each time.

Suction Hoses & Lances FAQs
What is a discharge hose?
A discharge hose carries waste or fluid away from a tank or pump once it's been drawn up, as opposed to a suction hose, which draws it in. Many hoses in this range are suitable for both suction and discharge use.
What's the difference between a suction hose and a discharge hose?
A suction hose is used on the intake side to draw waste or fluid into a tank or pump, while a discharge hose carries it away afterwards. Some hoses are rated for both directions - check the individual product description to confirm.
What is a toilet suction lance used for?
A suction lance is a rigid tube fitted with a valve, used to draw waste directly out of a welfare toilet tank. It attaches to the suction hose and gives more control than a hose end alone.
How do I connect a suction hose to my tank or pump?
Most setups use either cam couplers or Bauer fittings. Check which connection type your tank, pump or lance uses before ordering, as the two aren't interchangeable without an adapter.
What size hose do I need?
Hose diameter should match your existing fittings, valves and tank connections - common sizes in this range run from 1" up to 4". If you're unsure, check the size marked on your current hose or contact us with your equipment details.
How often should suction hoses and lances be checked?
Check hoses and lances regularly for splits, kinks, perishing or loose fittings, particularly before use, since a failed connection during waste removal is messy and avoidable with a quick visual check.
