Most flexible 6 inch suction hose?

[38ff 250]

I am looking to do a long (30-40 foot) squirrel tail type suction on our source pumper.

Who has the most flexible and or lightweight 6 inch threaded suction hose?

Thanks!

We have Kochek Hard Suction hose, and it is fairly flexible and dependable. Granted, we do not have any 30' lengths, we tend to stick with 10-12' pieces.

Kochek is most likely the most flexible but it also has the most issues with air leaks and slippage at the couplings. Harrington are much more rigid but you will never an issue with the couplings.

Other brands but can't speak for are TFT & Firequip.

TFT has a line of Suction hose. Light weight hose and couplings, no slippage of couplings to my knowlege.

We have mostly Kochek. They are close by, treat us very well, and make a quality product.

With that said, we had one truck with hard suction from Firequip - it was VERY flexible.
