When a water pump has to pull from a pond, a tank, or a flooded basement, the suction hose is the part that decides whether the job starts on time. The BE Pressure 85.400.089 is a complete 2-inch by 25-foot suction hose kit for contractors, restoration crews, and property managers who need to move water reliably. It arrives ready to work: hose, aluminum camlock coupler, and steel strainer already assembled into one kit.
Use Cases
Flood recovery and dewatering. Restoration contractors drop the strainer end into standing water and connect the camlock to a trash or transfer pump to clear basements, crawl spaces, and parking decks.
Feeding pressure washer rigs from a tank. Mobile wash crews working away from a spigot use 2-inch suction line to draw from buffer tanks and totes.
Irrigation and water transfer. Move water between ponds, barrels, and tanks on farms, nurseries, and job sites without dragging equipment to the water source.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size pump does this suction hose kit fit?
The kit is built for pumps with a 2-inch suction port. The aluminum camlock connects to a matching 2-inch male camlock adapter on the pump inlet. If your pump uses a 1-inch port, look at BE part 85.400.088 instead.
What does the steel strainer do?
The strainer screws onto the intake end of the hose and blocks rocks, sticks, and debris before they reach the pump. Running a pump without a strainer is one of the fastest ways to destroy an impeller.
Can I use this hose on the pressure side of the pump?
No. This is a suction-rated hose designed to resist collapsing under vacuum. For discharge, use a lay-flat or pressure-rated hose sized to your pump outlet.
How do I keep the hose from losing prime?
Keep the strainer fully submerged, check the camlock gasket for wear, and make sure all fittings are seated. Most priming problems trace back to a small air leak at the suction connection.
