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. 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% 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 crushproof up to 4000 lb, so they can bear the weight should heavy machinery run over them.
