{"product_id":"teknor-apex-aquaflex-fresh-water-hose-1-2-in-x-50-ft","title":"Teknor Apex AquaFlex Fresh Water Hose 1\/2 in x 50 ft","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eFresh, clean drinking water at the hookup, no plastic aftertaste. This is Teknor Apex's AquaFlex hose in the 1\/2-inch, 50-foot size, built for RV and boat fresh water hookups. The material is FDA-sanctioned and lead-free, so what comes out of the tap is safe to drink. The ThumThing coupling makes hand-tightening onto a spigot easy, even with wet hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Teknor Apex AquaFlex is the fresh water hose you run from the dock spigot or the RV park hookup to your onboard water fill. This one's the 1\/2-inch inside diameter in a 50-foot length, which is plenty of reach for most slips and most sites without coiling up a mess you have to step over. It connects with a standard threaded coupling, so it threads right onto a community water faucet the same way a garden hose would. The half-inch bore keeps the flow steady when you're topping off a tank, and it's flexible enough to route around a piling or under a fender without a fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets a drinking water hose apart from the green hose in your garage is what it's made of. The AquaFlex uses FDA-sanctioned material and it's lead-free, so the water that reaches your tank and your tap is safe to drink. A regular garden hose can leave that warm-plastic taste in standing water. You don't want that in your coffee. This one is built to carry potable water and taste like nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ThumThing coupling is the small touch that earns its keep. It's a molded grip on the fitting that gives your thumb something to push against, so you can snug the hose onto a faucet by hand without a wrench and without skinning your knuckles. If you've ever fought a stubborn spigot with cold, wet hands at a boat ramp, you'll get why it's there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to know up front: this isn't a heated hose. It's built for fresh water hookups in normal conditions, not for keeping water flowing when the temperature drops below freezing. If you're camping or cruising in the cold, drain it after each use or step up to a heated line. Otherwise, coil it, store it dry, and it'll give you years of weekends. It's a straightforward, honest piece of gear that does one job and does it clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch inside diameter keeps fresh water flowing steady when you're filling a tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e50-foot length reaches most slips and campground hookups without a second hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFDA-sanctioned, lead-free material rated for potable water, no plastic aftertaste\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThumThing coupling gives your thumb a grip to hand-tighten onto a faucet, no tools needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard threaded connection mates with any community water spigot\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible enough to route around pilings, fenders, and tight hookups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Teknor Apex reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs this hose safe for drinking water?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.
