Teknor Apex 8650-50 Rubber Water Hose, 50 ft x 5/8 in
Teknor Apex 8650-50 Rubber Water Hose, 50 ft x 5/8 in — Product description
The Teknor Apex 8650-50 is a 50-foot all-rubber water hose built for daily, hard use. It runs a 5/8-inch inside diameter for strong flow and handles both hot and cold water up to 160 degrees. Commercial-duty rubber shrugs off kinks, sun, and dock abrasion, so it's a solid pick for washdown at the slip or utility water around the rig.
The Teknor Apex 8650-50 is a 50-foot rubber water hose that's built to work. It carries a 5/8-inch inside diameter, so you get a strong, steady flow whether you're rinsing salt off the boat or running water across the yard. And because it's rated for both hot and cold water up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit, you're not stuck with a hose that only likes cold taps.
The whole thing is all rubber. That matters more than it sounds. Vinyl hoses go stiff in the cold, crack in the sun, and kink the second you drag them around a corner. Rubber stays flexible, coils back without fighting you, and takes abrasion from concrete, gravel, and dock boards without wearing through. This is commercial-duty construction, the kind of hose you'd hand to someone who uses it every single day and expects it to last.
It's a natural fit for washdown work at the slip. Rinse the deck, flush the outboard, hose down the trailer after a saltwater launch. The 50-foot length gives you room to reach the bow and the stern from one spigot, and the hot-water rating means you can run warm water for cleaning jobs that cold water just won't touch. Around an RV or a shop it handles the same utility duties, filling buckets, washing gear, general water work.
A couple of honest notes. This is a heavy hose. All-rubber construction gives you the durability, but it weighs more than a lightweight vinyl or hybrid hose, so it's less about packing light and more about lasting. It ships as a 2.8 cubic foot coil. And it's a utility and washdown hose, so treat it as general water duty. If you need certified potable water for drinking, pick up a hose labeled for that and keep this one for the wash bucket and the wet, dirty jobs it's made for.

Frequently asked questions
What is the inside diameter of this hose?
It's a 5/8-inch inside diameter, which gives you a strong, steady flow for washdown and general water work.
