The blue colour-coding is genuinely useful in a busy bilge or cabinet — it makes tracing cold-water runs quick without having to follow every line back to the source. The thing to watch: customers occasionally try to use this for below-waterline intake or hot-water lines because it looks like general-purpose hose. It is not rated for either. If the installation is below the waterline or involves hot water, they need a different product entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WEST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43762334924836,"sku":"TRI-165-0126","price":125.38,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/images_798dc623-8fcc-45a3-9cb9-ac791bf5e11f.jpg?v=1788721318","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/trident-marine-series-165-cold-water-hose-165-0126","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
