Continental Contitech 20016843 Suction Discharge Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20016843 is a synthetic rubber suction and discharge hose rated for water service and general fluid transfer applications. It handles a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a burst pressure of 600 psi, with an operating temperature range of -25 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The hose is black in color and carries a vacuum rating of 29 inches Hg, making it suitable for both push and pull flow configurations. Plumbers, irrigation contractors, and general contractors install this hose for dewatering, water transfer, and pump-in or pump-out service. It is sold and cut in 1-foot increments with a 5-foot minimum cut length.

This hose is designed for suction and discharge water service in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Common applications include sump pump discharge, portable pump connections, dewatering operations, and irrigation system supply lines. The synthetic rubber construction provides flexibility across a wide temperature range, allowing use in both warm-weather outdoor service and cooler indoor mechanical room environments. The 24-inch minimum bend radius should be observed during routing to maintain flow capacity and hose integrity. A licensed plumber or qualified contractor typically handles installation in permanent or semi-permanent piping configurations.
