Continental Contitech 20450177 Water Suction Discharge Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20450177 is a thermoplastic water suction and discharge hose designed for fluid transfer applications requiring both pressure and vacuum capability. Rated to 50 psi working pressure and 29.0 inches of mercury (InHg) vacuum, it handles the dual demands of drawing and pushing water through a single assembly. The hose operates across a temperature range of -20 degrees F to 180 degrees F, making it suitable for seasonal outdoor use as well as light industrial environments. The green thermoplastic construction provides flexibility and resistance to abrasion. This hose is priced and cut in 1-foot increments with a 25-foot minimum cut length.

This hose is commonly used in water transfer, irrigation, pump suction lines, dewatering, and general-purpose fluid handling. It suits residential, commercial, and light industrial installs where a flexible, lightweight suction-and-discharge line is needed. Plumbing contractors, irrigation technicians, and pump service professionals are the primary installers. Its thermoplastic build makes it easier to handle in cold conditions compared to rubber alternatives, and the green color aids identification in multi-hose setups.

Key Features

• 50 psi maximum working pressure for reliable discharge service
• 29.0 InHg vacuum rating supports suction-side pump connections
• Temperature range: -20 degrees F to 180 degrees F
• 150 psi burst pressure provides a 3:1 safety factor over working pressure
• Thermoplastic construction offers flexibility and abrasion resistance
• Green color for easy hose identification in the field

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose thermoplastic water suction and discharge hose suitable for use with standard pump fittings and water transfer equipment where 50 psi working pressure and suction service are required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbing contractors or irrigation and pump service technicians. Before connecting or disconnecting hose runs, shut off and depressurize the associated pump or fluid system. Ensure all fittings and clamps are rated at or above the 50 psi working pressure of this hose. Route hose to avoid sharp bends, kinks, or contact with hot surfaces that exceed the 180 degrees F temperature rating.
