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.
