Continental Contitech 20016834 Suction Discharge Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20016834 is a synthetic rubber suction and discharge hose rated for water service and general fluid transfer applications. Built for both suction and pressure-side use, it handles a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a burst pressure of 600 psi. The temperature range spans -25 degrees F to 200 degrees F, making it suitable for seasonal or year-round outdoor service. The hose carries a vacuum rating of 29 in Hg, supporting true suction-side installations. Plumbers, irrigation contractors, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this product.

This hose is designed for water transfer in construction dewatering, agricultural irrigation, industrial fluid handling, and pump suction and discharge runs. It is sold in 1-foot increments with a 25-foot minimum cut length, allowing installers to specify the exact run needed for the job. The black synthetic rubber construction resists weathering and abrasion in exposed or semi-exposed environments. A bend radius of 14 inches should be observed during routing to maintain flow capacity and hose integrity.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers, irrigation contractors, or industrial maintenance technicians. Depressurize and shut off the water source completely before connecting or disconnecting the hose. Maintain a minimum bend radius of 14 inches during routing to prevent kinking and flow restriction. Verify that all end fittings and clamps are rated for the working pressure of the system before placing the hose in service.
