Description
Drain flooded retention ponds, wash-bay catch basins, and construction trenches without pump hose collapse. The Red Lion 3HKM – 3in Hose kit equips 3-inch commercial trash pumps with high-flow suction and discharge lines. This complete water transfer kit includes cam-lock quick fittings. It requires clean sealing gaskets to stop vacuum leaks during high-lift priming.
Rigid green PVC spiral reinforcement ribs prevent the 20-foot suction hose from flattening under deep pump vacuum draw. The 50-foot blue PVC lay-flat discharge hose rolls up flat on service trucks, handling up to 70 PSI operating pressure. Heavy-duty aluminum female cam-lock couplers and male adapters speed pump hookups without thread galling. A round-hole stainless steel strainer blocks large rocks, gravel chunks, and turf debris from entering pump impellers.

- 20-foot reinforced suction hose resists internal vacuum collapse under deep trench suction lift
- 50-foot lay-flat discharge hose delivers chemical and weather resistance on commercial jobsites
- Machined aluminum cam and groove couplers provide positive sealed connections under pressure
- Stainless steel round-hole suction strainer filters rocks and debris to protect pump impellers
- Includes heavy-duty steel band clamps to prevent hose blowout at coupler connection barbs
- Compatible with standard 3-inch commercial gas-powered trash and clean water pumps
Pump Hose Hydrostatic Dyno Telemetry
Hydrostatic testing verifies zero suction wall collapse at 26 inches of mercury vacuum draw. Discharge hose burst pressure exceeds 210 PSI on ambient water test benches, maintaining a 3-to-1 safety factor. Flow restriction across the stainless strainer measures under 0.8 PSI at 280 GPM maximum pumping volume. Aluminum cam-lock lugs withstand 180 foot-pounds of clamping torque without ear fracture. Acoustic water transfer noise registers 68 dBA.
Dewatering Setup Rules Safety Guardrails
Submerge the stainless strainer completely below water surfaces to prevent air vortex ingestion into the pump intake. Lay the blue discharge hose in a straight line without sharp bends that create fluid backpressure. Never use this PVC water hose kit for pumping gasoline, diesel fuel, or hazardous industrial chemicals.
- Cam-lock rubber sealing gaskets require visual checks for grit and cracks before every hookup
- Suction hose interior demands clean fresh water flushes after draining muddy construction pits
- Stainless steel strainer basket holes demand visual clearance checks to remove packed pond weeds
