Ping Peggy sanitation hoses
Peggie-
Schedule 148? "Peggie Hall" wrote in message t... Joe Bleau wrote: Then, is the collective wisdom that the PVC hose should not be used? No. In fact, SeaLand's ultra-pricy OdorSafe is flexible PVC. Otoh, Trident Rubber's equally pricy 101/102 is double-walled rubber. There's flex PVC that is rated for sanitation and flex PVC that isn't...as people who try to save money by buying the hot tub hose from Home Depot that sells for $2/ft or less quickly discover. However, I wouldn't worry too much about accidental damage...overheating to make it bend tighter than it wants to bend willingly or to get it onto a fitting is about the only way to damage any hose without actually working at it. The only real issue is resistance to odor permeation...and although no hose is bullet proof forever, the more expensive ones remain the most resistant the longest...at least in theory. I had white schedule 148 flex PVC--which IS sanitation hose, but not one of the pricy ones--on one of my own boats for more than 7 years without a trace of odor...used it--same how, even same brand--on the project boat I bought and it permeated in less than 90 days. SeaLand OdorSafe is warranted against odor permeation for 5 years...I've seen it fail in less than a year too. -- Peggie ---------- Peggie Hall Specializing in marine sanitation since 1987 Author "Get Rid of Boat Odors - A Guide To Marine Sanitation Systems and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor" http://shop.sailboatowners.com/books...ku=90&cat=1304 |
