Brass 3ft Suction Hose kit - Includes 65ft Blue Backwash & 20ft Green

In this review of the Brass 3' Suction Hose kit the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, no-frills pump accessory package for users who need durable suction and discharge lines with a protective strainer. The kit is best for construction crews, farmers, and contractors who pair trash pumps or submersible pumps with general purpose water, slurry, or fertilizer transfer work. The single biggest reason to buy is the combined value: a long 65ft blue discharge hose, a heavy green 20ft suction hose rated for full suction, couplings and a plated steel round-hole strainer that helps protect pumps from damaging debris.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes a 3' x 65ft blue PVC backwash hose and a 3' x 20ft green PVC suction hose so users can tackle both suction and discharge with one purchase.
• Durable suction hose: The green 3in suction hose is built to withstand full suction and discharge pressures and handles water, slurry, sewage and solids.
• Weather and chemical resistance: The blue discharge hose is designed to resist weathering, chemicals and abrasion typical on construction sites.
• Rust resistant strainer: The round hole suction strainer is made of plated carbon steel to reduce corrosion risk and keep large solids out of the pump.
• Cam and groove adapter: The included male and female water shank couplings and adapter make the kit compatible with multiple pipe and pump fittings for quicker hookups.
• Wide temperature range: Rated for operation from -5C to 65C (23F to 149F) for use in varied climates and seasons.

Who It's For

This kit is best suited to contractors, landscapers, agricultural users and small rental operations that need a ready-made suction and discharge solution for trash pumps and submersible pumps. It is also useful for emergency water removal and routine transfer of non-corrosive liquids and mixed solids where a simple, heavy-duty hose set is preferred.

Those who require specialized hoses for highly corrosive chemicals, food-grade transfer, or precision high-pressure hydraulics should look elsewhere. Also, if absolute leak-free, precision-thread fittings are critical for continuous industrial use, plan to inspect fittings and consider upgrading couplings as needed.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good value for a combined suction and discharge package that includes a strainer and adapter.
• Green suction hose tolerates full suction and a range of solids and liquids, expanding its utility.
• Plated carbon steel strainer helps protect pumps from damaging debris on intake.
• Blue discharge hose offers weather and chemical resistance for rugged jobsite use.

Cons

• Some customers report mixed durability of fittings and occasional small leaks, so expect to verify threads and seals before heavy use.
• The plated steel strainer is functional but heavier than plastic alternatives, which may matter for portable setups.

Our Verdict

The Brass 3' Suction Hose kit is a practical, cost-conscious choice for contractors, farmers and anyone needing a reliable suction and discharge pair with a protective strainer. It delivers broad utility and durable hose construction at a reasonable price, though buyers should inspect fittings for thread integrity and potential leaks before intensive commercial use.
