76mm Rubber Water Suction Hose

At 76 mm (3"), RWS076mm is the inlet hose for 3 inch trash and dewatering pumps. A pump this size generates enough vacuum to flatten anything without a rigid element in the wall, which is why the carcass carries a steel wire helix as well as high strength synthetic cord. It is rated 10 bar (145 psi) and -20 to +80°C, and the black rubber cover shrugs off the abuse of being dropped into a sump repeatedly.

Key features

• 76 mm inside diameter
• Steel wire helix with high strength synthetic cord reinforcement
• Black, smooth rubber cover
• Working pressure 10 bar (145 psi)
• Temperature -20 to +80°C

Applications

• 3 inch trash pump inlets
• Site dewatering from pits, trenches and settling ponds
• Flood and emergency pump-out suction
• Bulk irrigation pump feeds
• Quarry and mine water handling

Compatibility and fitting

• 76 mm camlocks and tails terminate it; the range is under camlock fittings
• Fit a strainer at the wet end, because a trash pump will draw whatever the sump holds
• Band clamps for this diameter are in hose clamps
• Discharge at this volume runs on 75 mm blue layflat hose
• The whole range is on rubber water suction hose

Is 76 mm the same as a 3 inch pump inlet?

Yes, 76 mm is the metric size for a 3 inch bore and fittings are sold under both labels. Match the hose to the inlet on the pump and avoid going a size smaller.

How heavy is a charged 76 mm suction hose?

Heavy enough that the coupling should never carry it. Support the hose close to the pump and lay the run so the weight sits on the ground rather than hanging off the inlet.
