HOOTSUM 1-inch Suction Hose for Diesel Fuel Transfer, 6.5 ft Clear Reinforced PVC with 1" & 3/4" Adapters

HOOTSUM 1 Inch Suction Hose is a transparent, reinforced 6.5-foot PVC transfer tube with dual threaded couplings and a strainer, built for safe diesel, oil, kerosene and fuel transfer.

This clear suction hose kit from HOOTSUM is designed to replace rubber lines on portable pumps, siphons and fuel transfer setups. Constructed from wire-reinforced PVC, the hose balances flexibility with strength and includes both 1" and 3/4" threaded adapters plus a mesh strainer to keep debris away from pump internals. At 6.5 feet long and with a 25 mm (1") inner diameter, it fits common small transfer pumps and works across a range of temperatures and pressures.

How does this hose protect my pump and prevent clogs?

The hose arrives fitted with a strainer at one end and threaded couplings that create tight, leak-resistant connections. The clear PVC lets you visually monitor flow and spot sediment before it reaches the pump.

• Built-in mesh strainer removes large particles and debris.
• Transparent wall enables quick visual checks for contamination.
• Threaded 1" and 3/4" adapters ensure secure mating to pump ports.
• Included clamps allow snug fits to adapters and pump fittings.

Will this hose fit my diesel or kerosene transfer pump?

The hose has a 25 mm (1") inner diameter and comes with a 1" threaded coupling plus a 3/4" adapter to cover common pump inlet sizes. Two hose clamps are supplied so you can adapt the connections for a tight seal.

• Inner diameter: 25 mm (1"). Outer diameter: 35 mm.
• Length: 6.5 feet (approximately 2 meters) for reach and flexibility.
• Adapters included: 1" threaded coupling and 3/4" adapter for compatibility.
• Two hose clamps let you secure different adapter sizes firmly.

How durable and flexible is the PVC construction compared to rubber?

HOOTSUM uses wire-reinforced PVC that resists cracking, corrosion and aging while remaining lighter and more flexible than many rubber alternatives. The material handles low temperatures and typical transfer pressures without losing shape.

• PVC with internal wire reinforcement for collapse resistance under suction.
• Good resistance to oil, diesel and kerosene exposure.
• Smaller bending radius than many rubber hoses—easier handling in tight spaces.
• Longer service life with less perishing and cracking over time.

How do I install and maintain the suction hose for best performance?

Installation is straightforward: fit the appropriate threaded adapter to your pump, slide the hose over the adapter or barbed end, and tighten the supplied clamps. Periodic inspection of the clear hose and strainer keeps flow steady and prevents problem buildup.

• Select the 1" or 3/4" adapter that matches your pump port.
• Use the provided clamps to secure hose-to-adapter connections.
• Rinse or replace the mesh strainer if heavy debris accumulates.
• Store drained and coiled away from direct sunlight to prolong life.

Who is this for: The HOOTSUM 1 Inch Suction Hose is aimed at homeowners, mechanics, boaters and small-fleet operators who need a reliable, easy-to-see transfer line for diesel, kerosene, oil and other fuels. It suits anyone replacing hardened rubber hoses, equipping portable pumps, or seeking a flexible, reinforced hose that simplifies pump attachment and reduces the risk of contamination during transfer.
