Trident Hose Hoses

Trident Hose: Purpose-Built Marine Hoses for Every Application

When it comes to keeping a vessel's fluid systems safe, reliable, and leak-free, few names carry more authority than Trident Hose. Marine hoses are arguably the most critical plumbing components aboard any boat — they carry everything from engine coolant and raw water to fuel, exhaust, and sanitation — and Trident has spent decades engineering hoses that are purpose-matched to each of these demanding applications.

A Comprehensive Lineup for Every Onboard System

What sets Trident apart in the marine hose category is the sheer breadth and specificity of their product lineup. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, Trident engineers each hose series for its exact job aboard a vessel:

• Wet Exhaust Hoses — Trident's wet exhaust lineup includes multiple constructions: the corrugated #252 series for longer runs with substantial bends, the #252F EXTRA-FLEX for maximum flexibility in tight engine room routing, and premium #202 Silicone wet exhaust hoses rated for very high temperatures. The silicone variants are available in Glossy Blue with 4–6 ply polyester reinforcement and a maximum operating temperature of 350°F (177°C).
• EPDM Rubber Wet Exhaust Hoses — The 100 Series Flex hose features EPDM rubber construction and 2-ply reinforcement for increased resistance to heat, ozone, exhaust fumes, sanitation chemicals, panting, and collapse — ideal for longer bent connections.
• Fuel Hoses — The barrier-lined A1-15 fuel hose is suitable for gasoline (including ethanol blends) and diesel (including biodiesel), meeting ABYC H-24 and H-33 standards. The A2 Fuel Fill hose offers resistance to aging, fire, and heat for fuel fill and diesel transfer lines. The Ocean Flex series provides a versatile, economical option for critical fuel applications across both recreational and commercial vessels.
• Sanitation Hoses — The #102 Sani-Shield series features an extra-thick tube and cover specially formulated for maximum resistance to odor permeation, along with excellent bend radius for installation in tight spaces. Trident sanitation hoses are backed by warranties of 3 to 5 years depending on the specific product.
• Heater & Coolant Hoses — The #130 and #131V silicone heater hose series provide 2-spiral polyester reinforcement for engine coolant, A/C, and other mid-to-high temperature applications, with the 131V delivering very high temperature capability thanks to its blue outer and red inner tube construction.
• Bilge & Livwell Hoses — The #147 Vac XHD clear FDA-grade vinyl hose with a black helix allows boaters to visually spot clogs and blockages without disassembly, and is designed for bilge, livewell, drain, and scupper lines.
• Wash Down Hoses — The #168 wash down hose is constructed with an FDA-grade vinyl tube and cover with heavy-duty 3-ply reinforcement for durability at the dock and underway.

Standards Compliance You Can Count On

Trident hoses are engineered to meet or exceed recognized industry benchmarks including SAE J2006, ABYC, and NMMA standards — requirements that matter greatly for insurance compliance and Coast Guard inspections. Whether you're a weekend boater or a commercial mariner, knowing your hoses meet published standards provides critical peace of mind.

Why Choose Trident Hose?

Trident's approach to marine hose manufacturing reflects a commitment to matching materials to mission. Silicone constructions handle extreme heat in exhaust systems; EPDM rubber handles flex and chemical resistance; FDA-grade vinyl meets potable water and bilge requirements. Each hose series is engineered from the inside out — tube compound, reinforcement plies, and outer cover — to serve its specific marine environment reliably over years of use.
