EZ-FLO PVC Bilge Pump Discharge Hose Eastman 1-1/4″ ID x 6ft White

Description

Product Overview

The EZ-FLO PVC Bilge Pump Discharge Hose is engineered to meet the demanding needs of marine environments and low‑pressure water transfer applications. Constructed from high‑quality corrugated polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the hose delivers a perfect balance of flexibility, durability, and lightweight performance. With an outside diameter of 1.25 inches and an internal diameter of 1‑1/4 inches, the hose provides ample flow capacity while maintaining a compact profile that fits easily into tight spaces. The 6‑foot length is ideal for connecting bilge pumps to discharge points, allowing users to route water away from critical equipment without excessive slack or strain. Designed to withstand a maximum pressure of 20 psi, the hose offers reliable operation under typical bilge pump conditions, ensuring that water is expelled efficiently and safely.

Eastman’s commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of this product. The hose undergoes rigorous testing for abrasion resistance, kink resistance, and temperature tolerance up to 140 °F, making it suitable for a wide range of marine and industrial scenarios. The lightweight nature of the PVC material reduces overall system weight, which is especially beneficial for small vessels where every pound matters. Additionally, the hose is color‑coded white for easy visual identification, simplifying installation and maintenance tasks. The product comes with a one‑year limited warranty, reflecting confidence in its long‑term performance and providing peace of mind to customers.

Usage

This discharge hose is designed for use with both electric bilge pumps and manual hand pumps, making it a versatile accessory for boat owners, dock workers, and marine service technicians. Whether you are clearing water from a small fishing boat, a recreational sailboat, or a larger yacht, the EZ-FLO hose delivers consistent flow while resisting kinks that could impede water removal. The hose also performs well in low‑pressure water applications such as cooling system bleed‑off, deck washing, and auxiliary water transfer tasks where a flexible, lightweight conduit is required.

Installation is straightforward: simply attach the hose to the pump outlet using the standard 1‑1/4‑inch fitting, route the hose to the desired discharge location, and secure it with hose clamps if needed. The hose’s corrugated design allows it to bend around obstacles without compromising flow, and its smooth interior surface minimizes friction, helping to maintain optimal pump efficiency. Because the hose is made from PVC, it is resistant to corrosion from saltwater and chemicals commonly encountered in marine environments, extending its service life and reducing the need for frequent replacements.

For dockside maintenance, the hose can be employed to drain water from bilge compartments, pump out flooded compartments, or assist in cleaning tasks where a flexible, durable hose is essential. Its lightweight construction makes it easy to handle, store, and transport, while the white coloration provides high visibility even in low‑light conditions, reducing the risk of accidental tripping or entanglement.
