Valterra Flushing Hose for RV

Overview

The Valterra Flushing Hose is a heavy-duty, non-potable water hose specifically designed for flushing and cleaning your RV’s black and gray water systems. Unlike your drinking water hose, this dark-colored flush hose is dedicated to waste-related tasks — preventing contamination between your freshwater and sanitation systems.

Ideal for use with black tank flush connections or rinsing sewer hoses, this hose is built to withstand high pressure and outdoor use without kinking or leaking. It’s an essential accessory for any RVer who values safe and sanitary waste management practices.
