Do not use washer hose Posted by Bill Homer [Email] (#3427) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Bill Homer) on Wed, 15 Sep 2010 16:19:23 In Reply to: vacuum hose diameter, AeroManiac, Tue, 14 Sep 2010 22:00:03 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Some washer hose is somewhat flimsy and can collapse under vacuum - I know, some here will say that they have successfully used a product called "washer hose", but why not get hose specifically made for this application, i.e. "vacuum hose"?
I have been very happy with 3.5mm silicon hose from HoseTechniques, have used it on multiple cars in high heat areas. Ten feet is enough to do the smaller vacuum hoses on a non-TCS SAAB 9000; the larger Boost Control Valve hoses are silicon from the factory, still fine 17 years later.
