Water Diversion Tube – High-Strength Reinforced PVC Water Control Tube
DERFLEX is a professional manufacturer and global supplier of Water Diversion Tubes designed for flood control, emergency drainage, municipal diversion, irrigation projects and industrial water management. Made from reinforced PVC coated fabric, the tubes provide outstanding tensile strength, hydrostatic resistance, abrasion durability, and long service life under harsh outdoor environments.
With more than 20+ years of experience in PVC industrial textiles, DERFLEX offers custom sizes, thickness, pressure rating and connection systems to support large engineering projects worldwide.
What Is a Water Diversion Tube?
The Water Diversion Tube, also called Flexible Water Diversion Pipe, Emergency Flood Control Tube, or PVC Water Control Tube, is a collapsible, flexible, and high-capacity water conveyance structure made from heavy-duty PVC coated industrial fabric. Unlike rigid pipes, it provides lightweight transport, fast deployment, and large-volume water transfer capacity.
Water diversion tubes are widely used in:
- Flood response and emergency drainage
- River and canal water diversion
- Municipal drainage engineering
- Agricultural irrigation water supply
- Temporary water transfer in construction sites
- Reservoir and dam maintenance projects
- Disaster relief operations
The flexible structure allows easy storage, transport, and quick coupling using customized connectors, making it ideal for rapid-response projects.
Key Features of DERFLEX Water Diversion Tubes
