Hello all,
Call me crazy but I see no difference between the properties of the two products in the photos other than color and PRICE. I can get the electrical liquidtite for just over $3 a foot which is less than half price or more depending where you buy. Looking to use it for floor drains to thru hull plumbing. Anyone have any experiences? I will need quite a bit of it as I am adding two hatches with their own drains as well as the two aft in floor drains

Looks like the grey will do what you need. Make sure no one drinks out of the grey one though.

Thank you RickK. Just floor drains and definitely not potable. I have to drain 4 different in floor drains out of the boat so there is going to be a bit of plumbing which I have to figure out. I think West Marine was almost $20 a foot for the white stuff.

Well damnnnn. Too good to be true. So the inside diameter from the websites state 1.56 to 1.6 which worked fine for a 1.5” plastic barbed fitting but was too big for a smooth walled bronze 1.5” OD drains that I am using. The marine supply stuff is a true 1.5 or close to it. I had to go with the $8 a foot stuff. I felt to clamp it down that much might put undue pressure on the hose and create a weak spot. Don’t know for sure but it didn’t feel right to me. So it could work just depends on what you are connecting it to. I’m going all bronze.
