A versatile hose that can be used for many applications

Rarely is a hose manufactured that can handle so many different applications. Shields Series 250 ShieldsFlex II hose is just such a product. Available 1/2" to 8" IDs this hose is appropriate for raw-water intakes, bilge pump intakes and discharges, holding tank vents, scupper drains, and much more. It is ideal for wet-exhaust applications that require bends or longer runs. The Series 250’s strength is its permeation resistance to isolate engine exhaust, holding tank odors  and ozone gases from the surrounding areas. ShieldsFlex II hose now meets SAE J2006 requirements to double ozone resistance. The synthetic rubber of the Series 250 hose will withstand exposure to mild chemicals, antifreeze and saltwater. A wire helix imbedded between HD synthetic cord reinforces the hose and prevents it from collapsing under pressure while allowing it to make moderate bends. This hose is not recommended for tight radius bends.

Unless noted otherwise, maximum continuous lengths are 10'. Price shown is per foot.
