Trident Hose Exhaust Hose

Trident Hose Marine Exhaust Hose: Purpose-Built for the Demands of Wet Exhaust Systems

When it comes to marine wet exhaust plumbing, few names carry the weight of Trident Hose. Founded with a direct connection to the U.S. Coast Guard and marine safety, Trident was built from the ground up with one mission: produce the highest-quality marine hose available. That dedication to quality is perhaps nowhere more evident than in their lineup of exhaust hoses, where the consequences of failure — heat damage, exhaust intrusion, or hose collapse — can be severe.

A marine wet exhaust system mixes cooling water with hot engine exhaust gases before routing them overboard, which means the hose carrying that mixture must resist heat, ozone, exhaust byproducts, and the physical stress of bending through tight engine compartment runs. Trident's exhaust hose lineup is engineered specifically for these demands, offering multiple series to match the exact requirements of a given installation.

Trident's Marine Wet Exhaust Hose Product Lines

Trident's exhaust hose catalog spans several distinct series, each suited for different installation types and performance needs:

• #252 Corr Marine Wet Exhaust Hose: A corrugated EPDM rubber hose designed for longer runs with substantial bends. Its wire helix between 2-ply reinforcement delivers exceptional flexibility and bend radius for complex engine compartment routing.
• #252F EXTRA-FLEX Corrugated Exhaust Hose: Trident's most flexible corrugated option, featuring a bend radius of 1.5x the inside diameter — ideal for especially tight or demanding installation geometries where standard corrugated hose falls short.
• #202V Silicone Marine Wet Exhaust & Water-Coolant Hose: An extra-thick soft-wall silicone hose rated up to 350°F (177°C), featuring 4–6 ply polyester reinforcement. This series exceeds SAE J2006-R1, ABYC, and NMMA P-1 exhaust standards and has become a recognized choice for superyachts and premium vessels worldwide.
• #252V Blue Corra-Sil Corrugated Silicone Hose: Combines the bendability of a corrugated design with a silicone construction rated to 350°F (177°C). Built with an extra-thick wall, smooth red inner tube, and wire helix between 2-ply polyester reinforcement — well-suited for long, bent exhaust runs on both main engines and gensets.
• #250/100 Flex Marine Wet Exhaust & Water Hose: An EPDM rubber hose with extra heavy tube and cover construction, rated to 280°F (138°C), and engineered to resist heat, ozone, exhaust gases, sanitation chemicals, panting, and collapse. It meets SAE J2006-R2, ABYC, and NMMA P-1 standards, and carries a Lloyd's Registry Type Approval certification.

Why Trident Stands Apart in the Exhaust Hose Category

Several factors distinguish Trident's exhaust hoses from generic alternatives. First, virtually every exhaust hose in their lineup is built to meet or exceed recognized marine industry benchmarks — including SAE J2006, ABYC, and NMMA P-1 standards — providing installers and boatbuilders a documented level of compliance. Second, Trident is recognized as the oldest North American marine hose company under continuous ownership, meaning decades of real-world marine application experience are baked into each product design. Third, the brand's primary customer base consists of professional boat builders, distributors, and repair yards — the same professionals who depend on hose integrity day in and day out.

Whether you are replacing an aging section of exhaust hose on a cruising sailboat, routing new plumbing on a powerboat refit, or installing a genset exhaust system on a larger vessel, Trident's wet exhaust hose lineup offers a purpose-matched solution.
