The Shields Marine Series 1600 Extra Heavy Duty Water Heater Hose is engineered for demanding marine applications where reliability is critical. This 50-foot hose features a 1-inch inner diameter and 1-29/64-inch outer diameter, designed specifically for heat exchangers, toilet intake systems, small engine cooling intake, and bilge pump intake/discharge connections.

Key Features:

• Approved for below waterline drains and scuppers installation
• EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) tube and cover for superior chemical and temperature resistance
• Fabric reinforced construction for enhanced durability and burst resistance
• 800 PSI working pressure rating for demanding applications
• Excellent bend radius for easier routing in tight engine compartments
• Resistant to ozone, weathering, and abrasion in harsh marine environments

The EPDM construction provides outstanding resistance to hot water, steam, and marine chemicals, making this hose ideal for water heater connections and other high-temperature freshwater applications. The fabric reinforcement ensures the hose maintains its shape under pressure while providing flexibility for installation in confined spaces.
