King Bee Wastewater Suction Hose

King Bee is a premium flexible polyethylene wastewater suction hose with integral cuffed ends — the go-to hose for septic pump-out trucks and portable toilet servicing

King Bee is a premium quality flexible polyethylene (LDPE) vacuum suction hose designed specifically for wastewater and septic applications. Its corrugated construction delivers exceptional flexibility — making it easy to manoeuvre around portable toilets and in confined spaces. Overmoulded cuffed ends eliminate the need for separate hose fittings and remove the risk of the coupling separating from the hose under tension. Crush resistant and kink resistant. Cold Flex construction stays pliable in cold temperatures. Available in 51mm (2”) in 15m and 18m pre-cut lengths.

Note: King Bee was formerly marketed under the name TigerTail HI-VAC. It looks similar in appearance to standard Tigertail Suction and Delivery Hose but is a very different product — King Bee is polyethylene, full vacuum rated, and has overmoulded cuffed ends. Tigertail is PVC with a conventional spiral design, available in bulk lengths.

Features

• Superior flexibility — corrugated polyethylene construction and ribs provide exceptional flexibility for manoeuvring in confined spaces such as portable toilets and small tanks.
• Integral overmoulded cuffed ends — eliminate leaking and the risk of the coupling separating from the hose, a common failure point with conventionally clamped fittings.
• Will not kink — the corrugated structure prevents kinking even in tight bends.
• Crush resistant — springs back to original bore shape after being compressed.
• Cold Flex materials — hose remains flexible at sub-zero temperatures, well suited to colder regions of NZ.
• Full vacuum rated — handles the full vacuum of wastewater pump units.
• Made in USA.

Construction

• Tube — Flexible polyethylene (LDPE).
• Reinforcement — Polyethylene helix.
• Cover — Corrugated polyethylene for high flexibility.
• Ends — Integral overmoulded PVC cuffs.

Applications

• Septic and portable toilet pump-out — primary application; the flexibility and cuffed ends are specifically designed for this work.
• Wastewater suction where high flexibility and kink resistance are required.
• General water suction applications requiring a flexible, lightweight hose.

Primarily a suction hose — not designed for sustained pressure delivery at rated working pressure.

General Specifications

• Service temperature range: -40°C to +65°C
• Safety factor: 3:1
