Review on 🔌 Dorman 47430 Soft Connector for Vacuum Tubing by William Burnett

Purchased to repair partially broken vacuum lines in a vintage RV. They weren't needed for that first job, so they went to my RV parts store. Fast forward to today. When evaluating faulty RV-type vacuum vent controls, I found that the small vacuum line from the vacuum bulb to the dash knobs had melted in a small area. This prevented vacuum from reaching the dash buttons and thus any of the damper actuators. I just cut the bad/melted bit out of the line, used one of these adapters to connect the line together and now the RV A/C, heater and vent flap are working properly again. I came back here not only to write a review but also to buy another pack of these adapters. I am very happy with them and would like to hold them in my hands. And yes; I have routed the vacuum line away from the heat source that is causing the problem! Oh, and the last! These connectors are long. In my application I cut the connector in half to be able to use another connector of the same size later if needed. I could almost certainly cut it in three, and I still had a lot of work to do to splice it. This makes these connectors even more economical.
