Your people Make the difference. Always have time and know your products. Got a 50' Gibson. A little transom issue. To bad you don't sell Crown Heads. Appreciate you all. It's a pleasure to deal with your site.

good hose

This is the basic sanitary hose that comes in a lot of boats. Nothing special like wire reinforcing etc but does a good job replacing old worn out leaking hose. Easy to work with just use a heat gun to warm it up and it slides right on fittings

Product is very good except the wrong item was shipped, wrong size hose, I had to send it back and reorder product and Jamestown would not send a return ticket and had to pay extra shipping costs.

it's ok

the only problem was the shipping cost, which I thought was high, especially since free shipping was advertised. Perhaps the box was oversized; I don't know the UPS or FEDEX regulations off hand. It was not heavy though

Q: We have the shields vac xhd series 148 in our boat, I need to put a few elbows in to make the connection to the toilet work but I cant find any fittings that will work? I believe ours is the 1' 1/2 inch inside diameter...I have went to every store in our area and have been able to find nothing that will work...basically need a either couple 90's or a few 45's

Q: Hi, I was wondering if you do custom cuts for this hose? I only need 13 ft so wanted to ask before buying two 10 ft sections. Thank you! Suzanne
2 years ago1 Answer
A: Hi Suzanne, unfortunately, all of our marine hose is sold in standard lengths. There are other retailers with storefronts who will cut hose for you. Thanks!

Q: what sealing compound are you referring to?
3 years ago2 Answers
A: I don't recall coming across a sealant to use on pipe to hose fittings so I reached out to Shields tech support. They offer no sealant for that application and they have no recommendation. Their current catalog makes no mention of it so it's likely this is old copy that needs to be updated. The current text from Shields website reads as follows ""Shields Vac Extra Heavy Duty/FDA Hose has a smooth white FDA grade PVC with vinyl helix. It is rated for full vacuum and is resistant to mild chemicals, permeation, and saltwater. This hose is primarily used for bilge pump intake and discharge, drains (sinks, shower, and scupper), livewell intake and drain, potable water tank fill, and sanitation (toilet to holding tank, intake, self draining lines vent and pump out). This hose is resistant to odor permeation. Do not use glycol based antifreeze in hose. Do not use in pressurized water systems.""

Q: Is the shields sanitation hose oil resistant? I want to use it for oil suction hose.
8 years ago3 Answers
A: I only used it for Sanitation holding tank, I do not know if oil resistant however they say can be used in bilge. It is smooth and rigid, I sealed it with goop as I did not like the way it did not snug down on the fittings, my feeling is it would be too rigid for a vacume line that you might want to bend and flex. the shield flex water exhaust hose my work better
