Tough Blended-Plastic/Rubber Duct Hose
  • Use with air, paint and weld fumes, smoke, lint, and grinding dust

  • Temperature Range: -40° to +250° F
  • Flexibility: Flexible
  • Abrasion Resistance: Good

  • Compresses 35% of extended length
  • Color: Black

Also known as TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), the blend of PVC/polypropylene and rubber gives this hose exceptional toughness and good flexibility. Hose has an enclosed spring steel wire support. Material thickness is 0.022". Use a worm-drive clamp (see pages 250-254) to attach hose. Can be used outdoors.

Also... huh?

Diesel adapters connect a hose to diesel stacks (up to 5 1/2" dia.) for overhead and underground exhaust systems.

Anyways, Paint said it himself, he has rubbed "a few" holes in it and what about the inner portion being a rough surface and not smooth

I have had my tubing on for about 7 months for about 10$ a foot I have no problem with replacing this tubing 2 times a year

I have run this on my truck for a while now. Over a year now and its just starting to wear holes. Like Nick said at 20 bucks for the whole intake I will replace it every now and again until I get time to build one out of 5" steel. But at 150 bucks for all the bends I need for the steel intake I am pretty happy with the mcmaster stuff.

Yup, I just ordered more for Casper, it wore out again. My original use was for prototyping and testing, since I experiment with turbos alot. But I just left it on, and it held up good enough for me. I wish they made it in 5.5" so I could test a couple other chargers with that size without hassle.
