The Maxi-Flex Hose
Maxi-Flex PVC
Light and Flexible PVC Hose
Maxi-Flex is the industry’s original lightweight PVC suction-only hose, designed for optimal performance and ease of use. Its special corrugated PVC exterior ensures maximum flexibility and a smooth waterway for superior flow. The unique design features clear flexible PVC between the helix ribs, allowing full visibility of the water, while the distinctive black helix ribs provide excellent UV protection. Lightweight and ultra flexible, the Maxi-Flex Hose enables one-person hookup operations with extruded aluminum reattachable, bolt-on couplings. Perfect for suction-only applications, it effectively handles full-vacuum conditions, making it ideal for drafting from any rural or municipal non-pressurized water source.
