Continental Contitech 20450352 Water Suction Discharge Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20450352 is a thermoplastic water suction and discharge hose rated for continuous service across a wide temperature range of -20 degrees F to 180 degrees F. Built for demanding fluid transfer applications, it handles a maximum working pressure of 40 psi and a vacuum rating of 29.0 inches Hg, making it suitable for both pressure and suction-side installations. The green thermoplastic construction resists abrasion and environmental exposure. This hose is sold and cut in 1-foot increments with a 5-foot minimum cut length, and is typically installed by plumbers, irrigation contractors, and general contractors on water handling systems.

This hose is a standard choice for portable pump setups, dewatering operations, agricultural irrigation, and light industrial water transfer. Its thermoplastic body performs reliably in outdoor environments and seasonal temperature swings. The working pressure and vacuum ratings make it appropriate for centrifugal pump discharge and suction lines where flexible routing is required. Installations in both residential and light commercial applications are common.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, irrigation technicians, or pump service professionals. Shut off and de-energize the associated pump before connecting or disconnecting the hose. Verify that all fittings and clamps are rated at or above the hose working pressure before pressurizing the system. Inspect the hose ends and fittings for proper seating to prevent leaks under vacuum or pressure.
