Fine for connecting to machines

Customer Rating:
This is fine for connecting to the machines directly, more than flexiable enough if you have them on wheels to move around. For the long runs from the vacuum itself, I used thin wall sewer PVC from Lowes. This is about $8 for 10' length, so half the price of the Jet hose. With smooth walls, it should be better for air flow too. The joint fittings are comparable in price, so even buying the reducer to fit the PVC to the Jet hose, I still saved a lot of money... I needed 3 24' runs of piple for my shop to hook up 8 machines.

Use thin wall PVC sewer pipe for long runs, and get the 4" to 3" inside diameter PVC reducer... it fits perfect inside the Jet hose. Connect this hose to the reducer and the machine and you're in business...

Not bad for stationary aplications

Customer Rating:
I selected this product on basis of price alone (don't do that!). The hose works well with my 2 1/2 HP dust collector. The problem I have with it is I'm switching it between 3 different machines. As time has gone by (6 months) the ridges have started to fatigue and the hose is 'kinking' in places. My estimation is this hose would be fine if left stationary. For a moving configuration, buy something with more flex.

I PURCHASED THIS BEFORE I REALIZED I COULD HAVE PURCHASED TWICE AS MUCH FOR A ABOUT THREE BUCKS MORE.Jet JW1032 4-Inch x 20-Foot Black Dust Collection Hose

Good for Straight Lines

Customer Rating:
Not very flexible, so doesn't turn corners real well. Actually, it doesn't even want to bend much at all. I ended up throwing it all away and ordering some more Clear flexable tubing. It is GREAT!

Non-tool use.

Customer Rating:
It works well for runs. It is not as good for connecting to tools. However, the clear heavy duty version of this is expensive and this will do the job if your willing to take the disconfort.
