Common Concerns Answered
Can this hose be returned if it's not suitable?
This product cannot be returned to the point of purchase. For any issues, please contact the manufacturer directly for resolution, ensuring you review specifications carefully prior to purchase.
What does "working pressure (vacuum)" mean?
The "230 PSI (vacuum)" rating indicates the maximum pressure the hose can withstand when under a vacuum condition, which is relevant for suction lines. It is not a positive pressure rating for systems pushing water through the hose.
Is the color important?
Yes, the translucent blue color serves a practical purpose by allowing for clear visual identification of cold water lines within your vessel's plumbing system, preventing mix-ups with other fluid lines.
