Helpful Buying Guide

Choose a hose for your water-moving setup

Compare whether your work requires suction or discharge service first, then match hose diameter, length, construction, and end-fitting style to the equipment and routing needs of the job. The available selection includes ready-to-connect suction assemblies, suction kits with intake strainers, lay-flat PVC discharge hoses, and washdown and discharge hose.

Use Cases

Match the hose to the direction of water flow

Use suction hoses and suction kits to draw water from an intake point to a water pump. Use discharge hoses to move water from pumping equipment, while washdown and discharge hose supports facility and mill washdown or discharge tasks.

How to Choose

Check size, reach, and connection ends

Choose a diameter that matches the hose connection required by your equipment, then select the needed length. Review whether male and female aluminum short-shank ends or aluminum cam-and-groove fittings are appropriate for the intended connection.

Applications

Support pumping, transport, and washdown work

These hoses are represented for water-moving, pumping, discharge handling, water transport, flood recovery, and washdown applications. Lay-flat discharge styles are especially useful where compact storage between uses matters.

Additional Information

Compare hose construction for the work area

PVC suction options use a rigid PVC helix and smooth bore to support flexible routing. Many PVC discharge hoses use three-ply polyester reinforcement and offer resistance to oils, grease, many chemicals, and acids. One suction assembly is listed for operation from -10°F to 130°F.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Start with suction or discharge

Choose the hose type based on the job

Suction hose assemblies are intended for bringing water to a pump. Available suction options include green PVC assemblies with aluminum fittings and a 4-inch suction kit with an aluminum camlock end and strainer intake end. A 2-inch trash pump kit combines suction and discharge hose connections with aluminum couplings and a square-hole strainer.

  • Select a suction assembly or kit for pump intake routing.
  • Select a discharge hose for moving water from the pumping setup.
  • Consider a combined trash pump hose kit when both suction and discharge connections are needed.
Compare discharge hose designs

Lay-flat PVC supports compact storage

The discharge range includes lay-flat PVC hose in 1-1/2-inch, 2-inch, 3-inch, and 6-inch sizes, with lengths from 25 to 100 feet among the listed options. These hoses roll flat for easier handling and compact storage when not in use. A 2-inch washdown and discharge hose offers polyester jacket reinforcement and a synthetic rubber lining.

  • Three-ply polyester reinforcement is featured on the listed PVC lay-flat discharge hoses.
  • Available discharge hose ends include aluminum short-shank couplings and aluminum cam-and-groove fittings.
  • PVC discharge hose descriptions note resistance to oils, grease, many chemicals, and acids.
Confirm fit before selecting

Review diameter, length, fittings, and operating needs

Match the hose diameter to the intended equipment connection and choose a length that reaches between the water source, pump, or discharge point. Then check the installed end fittings. Short-shank options provide male and female hose-end connections, while cam-and-groove options are for compatible cam-and-groove connections. For water suction work, consider the hose construction, such as rigid PVC helix support, smooth internal bore, and abrasion resistance.

  • Listed suction sizes include 2 inches, 3 inches, and 4 inches.
  • Listed lay-flat discharge sizes range from 1-1/2 inches to 6 inches.
  • Listed hose lengths range from 20 feet to 100 feet.
