This AB Tools Self Priming Transfer Hose is designed for users needing a simple and effective way to move various liquids between containers. It's ideal for transferring fuels, oils, non-corrosive liquids, and adhesives, as well as for draining water from aquariums or small pools, offering a safer alternative to siphoning by mouth. A key caveat is that the receiving container must be positioned lower than the source container for the flow to initiate and continue.

To start the flow, submerge the pump head into the liquid and rapidly jiggle it up and down for about 10-20 seconds. Once primed, the liquid will flow continuously as long as the outlet is lower than the source.
You can transfer fuels, oils, non-corrosive liquids, adhesives, and water. It is not recommended for strong acids, bases, or highly volatile substances.
Yes, the receiving container must be placed lower than the source container for the self-priming action to work effectively and maintain flow.
Yes, it is suitable for transferring gasoline and other fuels safely, as it avoids the need to use your mouth to start the siphon.
The hose has a diameter of 19mm (3/4 inch) and a length of 1.8 metres (6 feet).
The hose wall has a thickness of 2.0mm, providing durability for regular use.
While it can transfer oils, very thick oils may result in a slower flow rate. It is most effective with liquids of moderate viscosity.
Ensure the receiving container is lower than the source container. Vigorously jiggle the pump head in the liquid for at least 15-20 seconds. Check that the hose ends are securely positioned and not kinked. Verify no air leaks are present in the hose connections.
Ensure the jiggling action is consistent and sufficiently vigorous. Check the hose for any internal blockages or kinks. Make sure the liquid level in the source container is high enough. For thicker liquids, flow rate will naturally be slower.
Verify that the outlet end of the hose has not been lifted above the liquid level in the source container. Check for any air leaks along the hose or at the connection points. Ensure the receiving container remains lower than the source.
Setup: To use the transfer hose, insert one end into the source liquid container and the other end into the receiving container, ensuring the receiving container is positioned lower than the source. Submerge the pump head end of the hose approximately 30-60 cm into the liquid. Initiate the flow by rapidly jiggling the pump head up and down within the liquid for about 10-20 seconds. Once the liquid starts flowing up the hose and over the highest point, it will continue as long as the outlet remains lower than the liquid level in the source.
Compatibility: This hose is compatible with fuels (gasoline, diesel), motor oils, non-corrosive chemicals, adhesives, and water. It is *not* suitable for use with strong acids, bases, or highly volatile solvents.
Care: After each use, flush the hose with clean water or an appropriate solvent depending on the liquid transferred. Store the hose in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the hose is completely drained before storage to prevent internal blockages or contamination.
