Trident Black 5/8-Inch VAC XHD Bilge Hose, 50-Foot

The Trident VAC XHD is a 5/8 inch black bilge and live well hose in 50 foot lengths, with a smooth extra heavy wall.

Five eighths is the small diameter in the range, suiting live well fill and drain lines, aerator plumbing and small pump runs rather than main bilge discharge. At that size a smooth wall matters more than at larger diameters, since internal friction has a proportionally greater effect on flow through a narrow bore.

Extra heavy wall construction is what gives a small hose the durability to be clamped repeatedly and routed tightly without splitting. The soft plasticizer wall keeps it flexible in cold, where a stiffer hose becomes hard to work with in a confined bilge. Explore more marine water and bilge hose.
