Trident Black 1-Inch VAC XHD Bilge Hose, 50-Foot

The Trident VAC XHD is a 1 inch black bilge and live well hose in 50 foot lengths, with a smooth extra heavy wall.

This is the soft plasticizer wall version rather than the helix-reinforced one, and it is described as extra flexible for that reason. A smooth-wall hose has less internal friction than a corrugated one, so it flows better at the same diameter, and it is easier to clamp because the surface is uniform.

The trade is that a smooth wall relies on wall thickness rather than a helix to resist collapse, so it suits discharge and gravity runs better than hard suction. Extra heavy wall construction gives durability and a good bend radius for bilge and live well work at 1 inch. Explore more marine water and bilge hose.
