A 1.8 m (about 72 inch) hose is the standard length for hookah and shisha service, and it is the length we produce every day: long enough for guests to sit back or pass the hose across a table, short enough to keep the draw responsive on a medium or large hookah.

Too short and guests lean forward; too long and the draw feels weak and the hose drags on the floor. 1.8 m with a 38 cm handle is the compromise most lounges settle on, and it is compatible with mid-size and large hookahs.

How many hoses fit in a container? At 100 pcs per carton and 0.1 CBM per carton:

• 20 ft (20GP) — roughly 280–300 cartons ≈ 28,000–30,000 hoses
• 40 ft high cube (40HQ) — roughly 650–680 cartons ≈ 65,000–68,000 hoses

Exact figures depend on stacking and pallets. We load mixed orders — hoses plus bowls, adapters and covers — into one shipment and quote a loading plan against your volume.

Tell us the length your market asks for and we will confirm what we can produce, at what minimum order and lead time. Measuring from the mouthpiece tip to the hose connector is the safest way to specify it.

Is 1.8 m the same as 72 inches?
Yes, approximately — 1.8 m is about 70.9 inches, which the trade quotes as 72 inch.

Will it fit my hookah?
The pipe diameter is 17.2 mm and the standard line suits middle and large hookahs. Send your stem connection photo if you are unsure.

How many cartons for a 40HQ?
Roughly 650–680 cartons at 0.1 CBM each, subject to stacking.
