Re: Vacuum hose connection

Shouldn't it be 5/16 x 5/16 X 1/8 ?

Re: Vacuum hose connection

Ouch I will have to check that out. I did some research and came up with 1/4 X 1/4 X 1/8 Might be why i found it so easy. Ed

Re: Vacuum hose connection

The 5/16 are hard to find. Ive found 3/8 which is a little too big and 1/4 which is a little too small. I've used the 1/4 in the past by sliding a piece of very thin tubing over each end. Here are a couple from Mcmaster,its hard to tell exactly what they look like.

Your welcome I hope they don't look "exactly" like their diagrams. The heat shrink is a great idea. For the heck of it I took the T in my first pic out and measured it. Its .315 X .315 x .135 It could fit tighter in my opinion.
