The main reason to stock both is the colour-coding — on a vessel with separate hot and cold freshwater circuits, being able to identify runs without tracing every line back to the tank or heater saves real time during service. The construction and ratings are identical between the two, so the choice is simply red for hot, blue for cold. The one thing to double-check at the water heater end: confirm the hose run nearest the heat source stays within the 149°F rating — that’s where heat-related degradation shows up first.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WEST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43762334957604,"sku":"TRI-166-0126","price":125.38,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/images_d9b58122-46da-4164-a093-88aef8226931.jpg?v=1788722200","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/trident-marine-series-166-hot-water-hose-166-0126","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
