Required venting is best in spare parts

Easy installation after removing about 3 layers of the car. Make sure the old battery core is removed from the battery before attempting to insert a new one. If there was an old part, like mine, I would manually screw in a small screw and pull it out. This ensures that no fumes from the battery enter the vehicle. In winter, installation is very difficult due to the rigidity of the plastic.

Pros
  • Batteries
Cons
  • Useless functions

Not quite a "direct replacement "

Not really a "direct replacement" for my 2009 HHR despite being listed, but I did fit it. I had to bend it a little, and the tube is semi-ribbed. I broke off the black end of the original so I needed a replacement. I tried pulling the black end out of my original to install this end but even heating the hose didn't solve it. Time will tell if the black end comes loose.

Pros
  • Spares
Cons
  • Damaged

save your money in Batteries

Junk. If you can only find a 90Β° elbow, go to an auto parts store and buy a plastic fuel line. Heat one end in boiling water and apply pressure to your elbow. The cheap crappy plastic tube burst as I pushed it through the vent. Dorman's stuff is usually fine, but it was rubbish.

Pros
  • Direct Replacement - This Battery Vent Tube is designed to match the size and function of the original tube in certain applications
Cons
  • Not Safe

May not quite fit batteries and accessories

As the name suggests, this Dorman product isn't exactly a match for which there are claims. The old breather tube in my Chevy Cobalt cracked so I ordered this Dorman product as it's cheap and generally decent quality. As you can see in the photo, the ACDelco tube is on the left and the Dorman tube is on the right. It didn't work right out of the box. I used a hair dryer to heat the new piece and bend it like the old one. After that, it fits and functions like a factory pipe.

Pros
  • Quality you can count on, backed by a US team of product experts and over a century of automotive industry experience
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
