Green Expert Lay-Flat Discharge Hose, 1-1/2-Inch ID

Pool owners, pump users, and homeowners dealing with standing water may find this Green Expert lay-flat discharge hose useful when water needs to move through a flexible line. Its 1-1/2-inch inside diameter is designed for fittings with a 1-1/2-inch outside diameter, and the 50-foot length gives you room to route it away from a pool filter, pond, or flooded area. The hose is made from heavy-duty extruded vinyl and is described as chemical-resistant. One important distinction: its listed 8 bar (116 psi) rating is a burst-pressure figure, not a stated working-pressure rating.

Key specifications

The hose has a 1-1/2-inch inner diameter and a listed 50-foot length. Its wall thickness is 0.06 inches (1.5 mm), and its stated temperature range is 14°F to 122°F (-10°C to 50°C). The manufacturer lists a burst pressure of 8 bar (116 psi), that number should not be treated as the pressure the hose is rated to handle continuously. It is made of extruded vinyl/PVC, described as chemical-resistant, and has a lay-flat design intended for water discharge and backwashing.

The main fit check is the connection: the hose is intended for 1-1/2-inch outside-diameter fittings. A fitting that looks close in size may still not connect properly, so match the hose opening to the equipment outlet before choosing it. The provided details do not specify a separate operating-pressure rating or identify particular chemicals it can handle.

Who it’s for

This hose is aimed at people moving water from pool equipment, draining with a pump, backwashing a pool filter, or directing water away from a pond or flooded area. Its flexible, flattening profile suits temporary routing where rigid pipe would be awkward to carry or position. For example, you could run the hose from a pump near a low spot in a flooded room toward a suitable discharge area, then store it flatter than a rigid line when the job is done.

A solid pick if you need a long, flexible discharge hose and your equipment uses a compatible 1-1/2-inch outlet. Not the best choice if you need a clearly stated continuous working-pressure rating, a specified chemical compatibility list, or a line for a fitting size other than the one given. Without having tried it, the decision rests on those published fit and pressure details rather than any claim about real-world service life.

What’s included

The product name identifies a 50-foot hose and a steel clamp kit. The available information does not state how many clamps are included or give their dimensions, so don’t assume the kit will suit every fitting or installation. Check the connection style and space for a clamp on your pump or pool equipment before relying on the included hardware.

Before you decide

Will it fit a 1-1/2-inch fitting? It is designed to match fittings with a 1-1/2-inch outside diameter. Confirm the equipment outlet’s measurement and connection style.

Is 116 psi the normal operating pressure? No working-pressure rating is provided in the product details. The listed 116 psi is identified as burst pressure, which is a different measure.

Can it be used for pool backwashing and drainage? Those are listed uses, along with water transfer for pool equipment, ponds, and flooded areas. The stated temperature range is 14°F to 122°F.

Is it worth it?

This hose makes most sense when a 50-foot lay-flat line matches the route you need and the outlet is the specified size. Its flexible construction is a more convenient approach than rigid piping for temporary drainage or pool backwashing, while the diameter and pressure information narrow down which equipment it can suit. Choose a different hose if you need a documented working-pressure limit, a different connector size, or more detail about the clamp kit before installation.
