Film & TV Hose & Equipment Solutions

Film & TV

Supporting the People Who Make Film and TV Happen

Behind the scenes, the real work happens - in the workshops, studios and on-location setups where everything has to work first time. Fluid and air systems play a vital role in special effects, set dressing, prop builds and equipment operation and when something fails, the whole production feels it.

At Spectrum Hose, we work with SFX teams, prop makers, set dressers, rigging crews and studio engineers who need dependable kit to bring creative ideas to life. From water and air effects to practical props and cooling systems, we supply, build and support the equipment that helps you keep the action moving - and create a little magic on screen.

Hose & Equipment Solutions for Film, TV and Special Effects

On set, no two days look the same. One moment you’re powering a rain rig or wind machine, the next you’re plumbing a practical prop, cooling lighting towers or running pneumatic lines for a motion-control system. Our job is to make sure you have the right hoses, fittings and components ready when you need them.

We supply and assemble hoses and equipment for:

Special effects rigs - water, smoke, wind and air systems
Set dressing, prop mechanics and practical effects
Cooling lines for cameras, lighting, generators and distribution boards
Hydraulic and pneumatic systems for props, stages and moving set pieces
Everyday workshop and fabrication tasks

And it’s not just hoses. We also supply tubing, clamps, valves, adaptors, connectors and general workshop essentials - all the practical pieces that keep SFX rigs, prop builds and set installations running smoothly. Whether you need a custom build or an off-the-shelf part, we’ll help you find it fast.

For productions that want extra assurance, we can carry out optional equipment testing to support ongoing maintenance and safety checks.

Bring your worn or damaged hose to our Trade Counter and we’ll make a replacement while you wait. If you’re working on location, our Mobile Hose Unit can visit your studio, workshop or set to keep you on schedule.

Fast, Flexible Support for Production Teams

In film and TV work, timing matters. A single delay can stall an entire crew. That’s why we focus on quick, practical turnaround - from while-you-wait assemblies to same-day repairs where possible.

Whether you’re prepping for a stunt sequence, maintaining SFX rigs, building props or getting ready for a long studio run, you’ll get straightforward advice and the right solution without any fuss.

Your Questions Answered

Who uses Spectrum Hose in the film and TV industry?

We work with special effects technicians, set dressers, prop makers, rigging teams, stage engineers and facilities crews who need reliable hoses, fittings and workshop equipment for creative and technical setups.

Can you make custom hoses for special effects and prop rigs?

Yes. Bring your requirements, measurements or an old hose to our Trade Counter and we’ll build a custom assembly that matches your setup exactly.

Do you visit sets or studios for repairs?

We do. Our Mobile Hose Unit can visit studios, workshops or on-location sets to make or fit hoses and assemblies where you need them.

What else can you supply beyond hoses and fittings?

Quite a lot. Alongside hose assemblies and fittings, we can source a wide range of components, consumables and specialist items to support sets, props and special effects. If you’ve got an unusual request, just ask. Earlier this year we were even approached to source a specific type of pallet for set dressing - and we sorted it. Our role is to help production teams get what they need, even when it’s out of the ordinary.

Can you test equipment or rigs?

Yes. We offer optional equipment testing to help ensure your hoses, assemblies and connected components are safe, reliable and ready for production.
