Plastic Transparent Hose for Marine & Shipboard Applications

This plastic transparent hose is engineered for marine and shipboard use, offering a reliable solution for water transfer, bilge pumping, and discharge applications. The clear PVC construction allows for easy visual monitoring of flow, enabling crew to quickly detect blockages, air bubbles, or contamination. Its flexible spiral reinforcement provides excellent kink resistance while maintaining maneuverability in tight spaces, making it an ideal choice for engine rooms, deck operations, and general ship maintenance.

Built to withstand the harsh marine environment, this hose resists abrasion, seawater, and many common chemicals found aboard vessels. The smooth inner bore minimizes friction loss, ensuring efficient pumping performance. Available in a range of diameters and lengths, this transparent hose can be easily cut to size or fitted with standard camlock, barb, or threaded fittings. Whether you need to transfer potable water, cool machinery, or handle oily wastewater, this durable and versatile hose is a dependable addition to any ship's inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this transparent hose be used for potable water on board?

Yes, the PVC material is non-toxic and meets FDA food-grade standards, making it safe for drinking water transfer. However, we recommend flushing the hose before first use and ensuring no chemical contamination from prior applications.

What is the maximum temperature and working pressure?

This hose can handle temperatures from -5°C to +60°C (23°F to 140°F). The working pressure depends on the diameter, with smaller sizes rated up to 150 PSI, while larger diameters have lower ratings. Always check the hose labeling for exact specifications.

Is the hose resistant to oil and fuel?

While the hose resists many chemicals, prolonged exposure to petroleum products such as oil, diesel, and solvents is not recommended, as they can degrade the PVC. For fuel transfer, use a hose specifically rated for that purpose.

Can I use this hose in saltwater environments?

Yes, it is resistant to seawater and UV radiation, making it suitable for deck use, bilge pumping, and other marine applications. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure to extend service life.
