WHERE TO BUY 6" FLEXIBLE LEAF VACUUM HOSE

[BOWTIE 226]

MY LEAF VACUUM HAS ABOUT 5 YEARS ON IT NOW. THE HOSE IS STILL GOOD WITH NO DUCT TAPE. BUT I KNOW IT WON'T BE LONG TILL IT WILL NEED REPLACED. WHERE DO YOU BUY IT BY THE FOOT OR 10 FOOT SECTION REASONABLE. HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE TUBING WHEN NEW.I'M IN CENTRAL OHIO

THANKS FOR ANY HELP, BOWTIE

That looks extreemly very clean and like new.   Nice,

[SousaKerry 500]

Industrial plumbing supply stores will have it or can get it.  It is fairly common in industries that use blowers and fans in their processes.

I usually get it from McMaster/Carr

$65.00 a foot at McMaster/Carr. That's outrageous.  I'd look elsewhere.

[Jeff-C175 7,195]

Butch, I did a quick google and there are lotsa places on the web to get it.  I think average price was around $15 a foot or so.

Holy crap.... What kind of grade were you looking at?  Some of the corrosive gas tubing or something?

 

This is all you'd need.....

 

Or you could maybe go up to puncture resistant for about $16/ft if you mow a lot of sticks/rocks.

Thats exactly the stuff I got when we ran the Lawn Vac on Dads 12 auto....used to get  about 6 years on it with the last year needing duct tape to get us thru but it was good stuff

I went to the only thing I saw!!  I couldn't find the cheaper prices but that's more like it!

I found mine on ebay three or four years ago.  It may or may not be available there at the moment.  If I recall, it was fairly inexpensive (on the order of $50 - $60) for the 6' section.  I would say it is comparable to the McMaster stuff (probably the same manufacturer).  It has a few minor cuts in it, but not yet to the duct tape stake.  I'll likely get three or four more years out of (duct tape included).

lots of choices around $11.00 a foot in mcmaster -carr

[BOWTIE 226]

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP. I ORDERED FROM A COMPANY IN MICHIGAN CALLED (THE BLASTGATE COMPANY ). IT COST 8.27 A FOOT AND SOLD IN 5' SECTIONS UP TO 25'. IT IS OE FOR THE DR VACUUM. I ORDERED 10' SHIPPING RAN $12.85.

Thanks for the post Jarhead! Saved the image for very near future use.

 

The image in the original post, like whoooooooooooa! Gorgeously groomed Stallion! Very nice!

Boy that's a clean vacuum unit. How can anyone who uses one keep it that clean? Did the hose rot from sitting in your garage?

[BOWTIE 226]

The picture is when it was brand new. It is now 5 years old and dusty.
