Description of Ultra Flex Clear Vue PVC Hose Power & Hand Tools

When setting up our dust collection or filtration systems we tend to have a lot of “moving parts” during this process and trying to figure out what type of line, piping or hose to use can be challenging. Dust collection hoses need to be not only long enough, but it must be durable, flexible and sturdy enough, so it won’t completely collapse in use. It must also perform under the constant use and abuse of an everyday workshop environment. This PVC hose checks all of those boxes and more!. Typically, PVC hose works best as a dust collection hose for woodworking applications where dust and chips from cutting, milling or sanding wood is a problem. This heavy-duty hose will stand up to small and large chunks of wood without getting punctured as well as handle the smallest of saw dust without leaking. PVC hose can be used as a primary line or can be plugged into and out of machinery as needed. PVC Hose (depending on diameter) can be used with dust collectors, shop vacuums, industrial vacuum systems, lawn tractor leaf catchers and a whole lot more! Simply make sure both ends of the hose are secured with hose clamps and your ready to go. The PVC hose flexes enough to weave in and out of shop machinery or table legs without kinking. Its also sturdy enough that it won’t flatten out when the dust collector is turned on. The hose has a compression ratio of 3: 1. This PVC hose is clear which allows you to see what’s going on inside the hose while the dust and debris are flowing through it. Not only can you see the dust and debris, you can also see if any build up or blockage has occurred. Being able to see this makes fixing any suction issues with the hose much easier than typical opaque hoses. While PVC Hose can be used on other machinery or devices it has been designed for dust collection purposes. The hose temperature range is -20° F to 165° F which is ideal for indoor use like in a woodworking or workshop environment. The clear hose wraps around a black carbon steel wire helix that reinforces the hose to keep it from kinking and is capable of an electrostatic discharge when properly grounded at both ends of the hose.

Hobbyist Duct Hose Not Heavy Duty

I needed another 5 foot section from my table saw to the dust collector (1250 cfm) so I ordered it. It's too light and too flexible. When sucking, it folds in on itself and you have to pull hard to lengthen it. You want some stiffness in the hose so it doesn't compress when sucking, yet still be flexible. It is pictured next to my old air hose which is 25 years old and has no signs of wear. The wire of the old hose is about 50% thicker and the PVC about twice as thick as the new hose. I will…

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Some Issues

great quality great price

Used this to replace a 6 year old section that connected to my 60 x 96 inch CNC router table. The previous version got stressed and started cracking. this connection is to be expected. I took a chance and ordered a replacement. Looks and acts the same as what I replaced which means I'm glad as I was concerned that the vinyl material or the wire depending on Price could be thinner, $3 per foot for what I consider a consumable for the machine it's attached to is a very good deal. Made in America?

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Very flexible! suitable for hoses

This is a good hose when very high flexibility is an important criterion. But remember, it's so flexible that it shrinks slightly under the vacuum of my consumer-grade dust bag. This isn't necessarily a bad thing in some applications, but maybe not so good when traveling from place to place because it constantly harmonizes with the dust collector being turned on and off. There are alternatives that keep their length and don't shorten drastically. Not a complaint but a warning! Five stars for…

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • not trendy

Works as advertised

I needed to extend the reach of my current 4 inch hose used between the table saw and the dust collector. With this new hose and a Powertec 4 inch welder I can extend the hose to get to my Dewalt planer. I unclip my current hose from the table saw, hook the new hose on to it, and then attach the extended hose to the planer. Just takes a few minutes "collector on, sharpened a few boards to test and sucked the shavings straight in. So it works. My new little workshop tool needed this adjustment…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Does not fit all

Suits me: Accessories for vacuum cleaners and dust extractors

What about the hose? It seems very durable and strong. It's by no means lightweight, at least in my opinion, but I'm no tubing expert. Comes well packaged and obviously easy to use. My wife got me a new dust bag for Christmas so I need a new hose. That fits the bill perfectly. Someone else mentioned that it's light and collapsed, I didn't find that to be the case for me. Plugged directly into my 2HP manifold and the other end of my planer worked with no issues. Excellent suction and didn't fall

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • So-so
