Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20450179 is a thermoplastic water suction and discharge hose rated for a working pressure of 50 psi and a vacuum rating of 29 inHg. Built for demanding fluid transfer applications, it handles both suction and discharge duties in a single hose assembly. The thermoplastic construction provides flexibility across a wide service temperature range of -20 degrees F to 180 degrees F. The green outer cover aids in quick visual identification on jobsites where multiple hose types are in use. This hose is sold in 1-foot increments and is typically installed by plumbers, irrigation technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals.

This hose is suited for water transfer in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Common applications include pump suction and discharge lines, dewatering operations, irrigation systems, and portable water transfer setups. The wide temperature range makes it a reliable choice in seasonal outdoor installations where freeze-thaw cycling or summer heat exposure is a concern. Its green color is a standard field identifier for water service hose assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or irrigation technician familiar with pressure hose assemblies. Shut off and depressurize the connected pump or supply line before cutting or connecting the hose. Use properly rated hose clamps and fittings rated to at least the working pressure of the hose. Verify that the installed assembly does not exceed the 50 psi working pressure limit in service.
