Shields Hose 16-250-2000S ShieldsFlex II 2" Marine Water Exhaust Hose with Wire

The Shields Series 250 ShieldsFlex II is a premium wire-reinforced marine hose constructed with black synthetic rubber tube and cover, reinforced with a wire helix embedded between layers of heavy-duty synthetic cord. This 2-inch inner diameter hose is designed for engine raw-water intakes, wet-exhaust applications that require bends or longer runs, bilge pump intakes and discharges, holding tank vents, scupper drains, and more.

Key Features:

• Resistant to exhaust fumes, ozone, mild chemicals, antifreeze, and saltwater
• Handles 200°F continuously and up to 250°F intermittently
• Meets SAE J2006 requirements with twice the ozone resistance standard
• Abrasion and odor permeation resistant
• Wire reinforcement prevents collapse under pressure while allowing moderate bends

The Series 250's strength lies in its permeation resistance, effectively isolating engine exhaust, holding tank odors, and ozone gases from surrounding areas. This versatile hose handles multiple demanding marine applications where durability and chemical resistance are critical.
