SHASKOKOEN Wire-Reinforced Hose, 16.4 ft

If you need a hose that can handle suction without flattening, this wire-reinforced design is aimed at that job, a basic, unreinforced tube may suit straightforward gravity-fed routing better. Its clear PVC construction also lets you see what is moving through the line, which can be useful when setting up a water transfer or checking flow.

The listed size is 1-inch ID and 1-1/4-inch OD, and the hose is 16.4 feet long. That gives you a defined hose run, but not a full connection kit.

Size & fit

This hose is specified at 0.984-inch inner diameter and 1.26-inch outer diameter, with steel wire reinforcement through the clear PVC tubing. Match both diameters to your fittings and equipment: inner diameter affects the flow path, while the outside measurement matters when fitting a clamp or routing the hose through a tight opening. The listing does not identify included connectors, so plan around the fittings you already use rather than assuming it will attach directly.

For a practical example, imagine a pump drawing water from a container: the reinforced wall is intended to resist collapsing on the suction side, while the transparent body gives you a view of the line as it fills. The maker also describes it for discharge use. Would that flexibility matter more than choosing a simpler hose made just for a basic, non-suction run? That depends on how your setup operates.

The stated working pressure is 75 PSI, with a 220 PSI burst pressure and a temperature range of 25°F to 150°F. Those ratings help define its intended operating envelope, but they are not a substitute for checking the requirements of your specific equipment or fluid. The listing mentions water, vacuum, fuel-cleaning, garden-sprinkler, hydraulic-return, and powder applications, it does not give detailed chemical-compatibility guidance for particular fuels or substances.

Pros

• Steel-wire reinforcement is intended to help the hose resist collapsing under suction.
• Clear PVC makes the contents visible during use.
• The stated pressure and temperature limits give buyers concrete parameters to compare against their setup.
• It is described for both suction and discharge, rather than only one side of a transfer system.

The main trade-off is that broad application language does not confirm suitability for every fluid, pump, or connection. For fuel or other demanding use, identify the exact fluid and operating conditions before relying on the hose, no specific compatibility chart is provided.

Spec sheet

The hose is clear PVC with steel-wire reinforcement. Its listed inner diameter is 0.984 inch, outer diameter is 1.26 inches, and length is 16.4 feet. Maximum working pressure is 75 PSI, burst pressure is 220 PSI. The stated temperature range is 25°F to 150°F. The maker describes it as negative-pressure resistant and suitable for suction and discharge, according to the maker.

Buying verdict

Worth considering if you need a transparent reinforced hose for a suction or discharge setup and its dimensions, pressure rating, and temperature range match your equipment. It’s not for you if you need confirmed compatibility with a specific fuel or chemical, or if your installation depends on fittings that the listing does not detail. Compared with a plain hose for simple routing, this one emphasizes suction resistance and visibility, for a highly specific fluid-transfer job, verified compatibility should take priority over that versatility.
