Continental Contitech 20450353 Water Suction Discharge Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20450353 is a thermoplastic water suction and discharge hose rated for a wide range of fluid transfer applications in trade and industrial settings. It carries a maximum working pressure of 25 psi and a burst pressure of 100 psi, providing a 4:1 safety factor. The hose handles a vacuum rating of 29 inches of mercury (InHg), making it suitable for both suction and discharge service. The operating temperature range runs from -20 degrees F to 180 degrees F. Green outer jacket aids visual identification on job sites. Licensed plumbers, irrigation contractors, and water-service technicians are the primary installers.

This hose is sold in 1-foot increments with a 5-foot minimum cut length, making it adaptable to a variety of job-site conditions. It is well suited for water transfer, dewatering, irrigation supply lines, and light industrial fluid-handling tasks where a flexible, vacuum-capable thermoplastic hose is required. The thermoplastic construction resists abrasion and weathering, performing reliably in outdoor and semi-exposed installations.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style thermoplastic water suction and discharge hose suitable for use with standard hose fittings and couplings appropriate to the application pressure and vacuum ratings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified contractor familiar with fluid-transfer piping systems. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before connecting or disconnecting the hose. Verify that all fittings and clamps are rated to at least the working pressure of the hose. Do not exceed the rated working pressure, vacuum rating, or temperature limits specified for this hose.
