When it came to naming SWAN's new Element-brand Viper? hose, nothing short of one of the deadliest snakes in the world would do. That's because the Viper? is the toughest rubber hose on the market today, ideal for the most rigorous and demanding hose uses. This premium rubber garden hose features an industry-leading 600 psi burst strength coupled with a wide 5/8 in inside diameter, so the Viper? all-rubber garden hose can withstand a large volume of water flowing through it at great speed. To protect this high-performance rubber garden hose from bursting, the Viper? is made of an exceptional dual-weave construction that gives it twice the strength of standard rubber hoses, yet it's also 40 percent lighter for extreme manageability. The Viper? heavy-duty rubber garden hose also upholds its high performance in a variety of temperatures, remaining flexible from 40 deg F up to hot water at 165 deg F. For optimal kink resistance, the Viper? ultra durable rubber hose was crafted with a unique octagonal shape, as well as SWAN's patented Hose Armor? at the female coupling to resist kinking at the water source. This heavy-duty rubber hose's aluminum couplings are also superior: They're oversized, ergonomic and remain crush-proof up to 4,000 pounds, so they can bear the weight should heavy machinery run over them.
