Description
Product Overview
The Ketofa 2‑inch suction hose kit is engineered for demanding industrial and agricultural environments where reliable fluid transfer is essential. The kit includes a 65‑foot blue PVC backwash hose and a 20‑foot green PVC suction hose, both constructed from high‑density polyvinyl chloride that offers superior chemical resistance, abrasion tolerance, and flexibility. The hoses feature a reinforced woven loop that prevents expansion under pressure, ensuring a consistent internal diameter of 2 inches even at the maximum rated pressure of 90 psi. Complementing the hoses are a precision‑machined aluminum round‑hole strainer, which provides a rust‑free, corrosion‑resistant barrier against debris, and a set of cam‑groove adapters that enable quick, leak‑free connections to a variety of pump and discharge fittings. The entire assembly weighs 33.8 pounds, making it easy to transport and install while maintaining the durability required for heavy‑duty applications such as water, slurry, chemical, and fertilizer handling. Detailed specifications include a 720‑inch overall length, a 2‑inch outside diameter, and a maximum pressure rating of 90 psi, meeting or exceeding industry standards for suction hose performance.
Usage
This suction hose kit is suited for a broad range of real‑world scenarios. In agricultural settings, the green suction hose can be deployed to draw irrigation water from ponds, wells, or reservoirs, while the blue backwash hose efficiently returns excess water or cleaning solutions to the source. Construction sites benefit from the kit’s ability to handle concrete washout, mud, and other slurry mixtures, with the aluminum strainer preventing large particles from entering pumps and causing wear. Wastewater treatment facilities can use the hoses for transferring sludge, chemicals, and treated effluent, taking advantage of the PVC material’s resistance to corrosive substances. The cam‑groove adapters simplify connections to standard pump inlets, allowing quick setup and disassembly for maintenance or relocation. Because the hoses are designed to operate under both suction and discharge pressures, they are also compatible with air‑blowing applications, such as ventilating confined spaces or moving lightweight gases. The kit’s versatility makes it an ideal choice for any operation that requires dependable fluid movement, whether the medium is clean water, gritty sand, acidic chemicals, or nutrient‑rich fertilizers.

FAQ
What types of fluids can the hose handle?
The PVC hoses are compatible with water, slurry, chemicals, fertilizers, and light oils. Their chemical‑resistant formulation allows safe transport of acidic or alkaline solutions, while the reinforced wall prevents expansion when moving abrasive or particulate‑laden fluids.
Can the kit be used with both suction and discharge pumps?
Yes. The hoses are designed to operate under both suction and backwash (discharge) conditions. The cam‑groove adapters provide a secure connection for both pump inlet and outlet fittings, making the kit versatile for a range of pump configurations.
How do I install the round‑hole strainer?
Simply slide the strainer onto the hose end and secure it with the provided cam‑groove adapter. The strainer’s 2‑inch round opening aligns with the hose’s internal diameter, allowing unrestricted flow while trapping larger particles.
Is the kit suitable for outdoor use?
Absolutely. The PVC material is UV‑stabilized to resist sun exposure, and the aluminum strainer is coated to prevent rust. This makes the kit ideal for outdoor irrigation, construction sites, and agricultural fields where exposure to the elements is common.
What maintenance is required?
Periodically inspect the hoses for wear, check the strainer for accumulated debris, and verify that the cam‑groove connections remain tight. Flushing the system with clean water after each use helps prevent buildup of residues and extends the lifespan of the components.
