Camco 22853 Premium Drinking Water Hose, 50 Feet x 5/8 Inch, Anti-Kink Design, Blue
The Camco 22853 Premium Drinking Water Hose is a 50 foot, 5/8 inch inside diameter hose built for supplying safe drinking water to RVs, boats, and marine fresh water systems. It is constructed 20 percent thicker than standard drinking water hoses, giving it added resistance to kinking and everyday wear during hookup and storage. The anti-kink design pairs with machined fittings and strain relief ends at both connection points, reducing stress at the coupling where hoses most often fail.
This hose is made with NSF certified hose material that is lead free, BPA free, and phthalate free, so it will not leave a plastic taste in drinking water. It is UV stabilized for longer service life when stored or run in sunlight, and it is CSA Low Lead Content Certified to NSF/ANSI 372, meeting federal and state low lead requirements including California's AB1953 and Vermont's Act 193. The hose has a 1 inch outside diameter and is finished in blue for easy identification as a drinking water line versus a gray water or utility hose.
At 50 feet, the Camco 22853 gives enough reach to connect from a campground spigot or marina water source to an RV or boat fresh water inlet without needing extension sections for most standard hookups.
