The Shields Blue Series 262 is a heavy-duty silicone exhaust hose engineered for demanding marine applications. This 12-1/2 foot hose is specifically designed to handle the extreme heat and harsh conditions of main engine exhaust systems, generator exhaust, engine coolant circulation, and engine or generator intake applications.

Key Features:

• Blue silicone construction provides superior heat resistance and durability in marine environments
• Wire reinforced design prevents collapse under vacuum conditions and maintains shape integrity
• Smooth finish on both tube and cover allows for easy cleaning and maintenance
• Corrugated design offers excellent flexibility for routing in tight engine compartments
• Suitable for wet exhaust, coolant circulation, and intake applications
• Marine-grade materials resist saltwater, oil, and chemical degradation

This versatile exhaust hose delivers reliable performance in high-temperature marine environments where standard rubber hoses would fail. The wire reinforcement ensures the hose maintains its internal diameter even under suction, making it ideal for critical engine systems aboard boats and vessels of all sizes.
