Trident Marine 1-1/8" x 50' Heavy Duty PVC Bilge & Livewell Hose (FDA) - Clear w/Black Helix

The Trident Marine 1-1/8" x 50' Heavy Duty PVC Bilge & Livewell Hose with FDA approval delivers reliable fluid transfer for demanding marine applications. This clear hose with black helix construction combines smooth extra heavy wall vinyl with the optical clarity needed to monitor fluid movement in bilge systems, livewell circulation, drain lines, and scupper applications. The FDA-compliant material ensures compliance with potable water and food-contact standards where applicable, making it suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments.

Sizing at 1-1/8 inches inner diameter with 50 feet of continuous length, this hose provides substantial flow capacity while maintaining a manageable profile for vessel installations. The extra heavy wall construction delivers superior burst resistance and abrasion tolerance, critical when routing through engine compartments or across rough mounting surfaces. The black helix reinforcement pattern provides structural integrity without requiring external cuffs or clamps for most standard applications, reducing installation complexity and cost. The moderate flexibility of the 147-series design balances durability with practical bendability for routing around engine blocks, hull obstructions, and tight bilge spaces.

This hose is purpose-built for boat owners, marine technicians, and restoration shops requiring durable fluid-handling solutions in saltwater and freshwater environments. Whether replacing deteriorated bilge discharge lines, upgrading livewell circulation systems, or installing new drain routing, the FDA formulation and clear construction provide both regulatory compliance and operational visibility. The 50-foot length accommodates vessels from center consoles to cruisers without splicing, while the heavy-duty wall thickness withstands thermal cycling and UV exposure common to marine service.
