Will Valterra Braided PVC Tubing For Fresh Water Kink
Updated 09/12/2022 | Published 09/09/2022
Question:
I need to replace my water hose on an electric hose reel. I need a hose that will not kink at the somewhat sharp angle I need to attach it to the reel. It has a 150 psi hose now made by Flex-Tech that I cant find to replace it. I have just installed a hose from my local camping store and it does kink a bit. Will this hose kink?

Expert Reply:
A kink is possible for really any PVC tubing hose, including the Valterra Braided PVC Tubing for RV Fresh Water - 50' Long - 1/2" ID x 5/8" OD # W01-1800.
That said, the reinforced braided tubing of the # W01-1800 will withstand sharper angles than standard tubing, but the possibility of it kinking does exist.
