Trident 3/4-Inch 50-Foot Black VAC XHD Bilge Hose

The Trident VAC XHD hose is built for bilge discharge and livewell plumbing that needs to turn through confined spaces. Its black PVC construction uses a hard helical reinforcement to resist collapse around bends. The 3/4-inch inside diameter suits smaller discharge connections, while the 50-foot boxed length provides material for a longer run or several shorter cuts.

A smooth outer wall gives hose clamps a consistent surface to grip, and the reinforced construction supports a 28 psi working-pressure rating. For this size, Trident lists a 3-inch minimum bend radius and an outside diameter of approximately 0.986 inch. The stated operating range is 10°F to 120°F, so it is intended for water-handling rather than high-temperature exhaust lines. Its PVC helix also helps maintain the hose shape where plumbing has to snake around equipment.

The 149 series is notably flexible for a reinforced heavy-duty hose. This is a practical replacement for aging bilge or livewell hose when easy routing is as important as a secure connection. Check the inside diameter of existing fittings and allow enough length to avoid tight kinks or strain at the clamps.
