2-1/2" x 10' Dust Collection Hose, Flexible PVC Dust Collector Hose for Table Saw, Band Saw, Router Table, Belt Sander, Woodworking & Garage, Wood Shop Dust Collection System (70129)

This “tunnel” is all of our ferrets’ favorite thing to play in, sleep in, and stash toys in. It’s easy to wash with a ferret shampoo and a scrubber in a bath tub of hot water. Then hand towel or hang dry over night. The only downside was the initial smell that took a few months to start to leave. After three deep cleans, the smell finally started to settle down. I always look for heavy duty items that will be a long term investment. This way our ferrets are less likely to destroy and/or ingest things they shouldn’t. This product meets all expectations: * Durable construction that won’t collapse, trap, or injure * Safe for continuous use * Wide enough for multiple ferrets to play, sleep, and stash toys in at the same time * Long enough to be exciting to play in * Easy to clean and dry * Novel and fun * Doesn’t encourage chewing or destructive behaviors due to quality build Other things to note: *Room temperature doesn’t go below 60 degrees or above 75 degrees Fahrenheit. * Tunnel is always kept indoors. * Cleaning bath water temperature doesn’t go above 110 degrees Fahrenheit. * Cleaning is with a pet safe shampoo specifically made for skin and coat contact. * A standard soft dish scrubber 🧽 is used to minimize scratching or accidental damage to the tunnel. * Any pet “accidents” cleaned up beautifully from the product without lingering odors or damage when cleaned up with 6 hours of onset — sometimes messes occur overnight and they are cleaned up promptly in the morning. * Drying with a high absorbency microfiber cleaning cloth or a standard cotton hand towel yields the best results. * Cleaning tunnel daily/weekly when in use with pets will minimize dirt, dust, allergies, and negative respiratory effects from particles shed in the tunnel. Confined spaces need to be kept clean for optimal health. We’ve had this tunnel for almost 8 months and no issues. Will absolutely be purchasing more.

I've bought plenty of these hoses over the years and was actually cheaper than what I paid pre-COVID which was shocking. With that said, this beats the cheap thin aluminum dust collection hose. While it still creates some turbulence like all internally ribbed hoses, it doesn't rip or tear unless you take a knife to it. I will say with any metal ducting, it's a very tight fit so you may need to use either rubbing alcohol or very light grease to slip it onto the joining portion of the duct. But because of the tight fit, using a large hose clamp, it will not come out easily. I'm currently using this for my venting fan for my laser engraver & cutter.

This hose works for its intended purpose. I needed to use it for my dust collection unit. It can be readily cut as needed. There is no collapse under vacuum.

4 Stars because it's what I expected and not the hoses fault that my 9 gal Craftsman vac with a new filter is too weak. I would have given 5 starts, but the hose is still a few inches to an entire foot short of the advertised length. I stretched it out and it was close, but it shouldn't need to be pulled that far to reach the advertised length. But I'm still satisfied. I have triple checked each connection and all are secure with no air escaping. The hose material is good bendable quality with the wire inside. I was able to cut the hose with scissors and the wire with a snip. Using adapters, I connected it to my 12" Hitachi miter saw and ran about 8' hose down to my vac where I have a Y adapter attached. Behind the saw I mounted a Powertec Big Gulp dust funnel\hood and it too is good quality. The Big Gulp is mounted just behind and below the saw to catch dust as it falls. I built side walls, a back wall and a top to keep dust from spreading out. Incidentally, the top serves very well as a shelf for frequently used pencils and other items I need in close reach at the saw. All works well, but the suction is not enough. Perhaps a smaller diameter hose would help, but I wanted to see inside the hose. Which is why I was able to notice the small handful of saw dust that had gathered in the longer portion of the hose that extends down from the saw. It was drooping down about 3" below the intake of the Y adapter and didn't have enough suction to pull the dust in. But I adjusted the hose to go down with no drooping and that fixed the issue. Proper suction would be better. If I add other devices even with blast gates, I suspect additional power loss. I can't imagine what type of power a 4" hose would require. Changes I'll make: Eventually I'll invest in a proper dust collector with more power. Get a smaller diameter hose (see through won't matter to me now that I know what I need to avoid with the hose placement.) I'll test PVC with spare tubes I have laying around and let you know, but my guess is that I may need better power here as well.

I used this to connect the 5 inch intake on my Oneida Mini-Dust Gorilla to an 18 inch bandsaw. The dust collector is only a foot or two away from the bandsaw, and I’m sure I could get more suction if I shortened the hose. Still fiddling with the arrangement and will shorten the hose once I’ve figured out the placement. Solid and smooth metal ducting would be more efficient but would limit flexibility. Hose looks sturdy enough but hard to tell about long-term durability. I have another 5 inch hose from Oneida. It was more expensive and is stiffer/less flexible, but in 3 years of use it has held up very well.

worked well as a replacement tube on our lawn vac, now it really sucks (in a good way!) held up to many hours of lawn cleaning

Product as described, no issues, solid and well-made and would purchase again.

I bougt this because it was half the price of the AgriFab vacuum tube and long enough to use with a zero turn mower without an extension. It does fit over both the discharge shut at the mower deck and the suction intake at the motor. While it is thinner material it works well with a slight modification. I slit the old, worn out, AgriFab tube town the middle and slipped a 3' section of it it over this tube where it may come in contact with the ground or rub on the mower's tire during turns. This provides abrasion resistance for the new tube.

Muy buena y funcional

Worth the money.

compre ya varias veces este producto y siempre con buena calidad en acabados y funcionamiento cumple ampliamente con el propósito para el que fue adquirido

This is one stiff, somewhat flexible hose. The hose is sold as 20' long, but it will only stretch to about 16' with ease and then wants to coil back up to 14' once any pull pressure is released. The hose diameter is 5" but it takes a lot of work to stretch over a 5" non-Powertec metal fitting especially when you have to pull on the hose at the same time you try to push in the fitting. If you set aside these two points, the hose is well constructed using high quality materials and I'm sure the sweat I expended attaching this hose to the fittings will pay dividends in the long run.

Good hose but its diameter is a little smaller than it should be. I struggled way harder than I should have to get this on to my Oneida super dust deputy and the dust collector end. Ended up getting it eventually and it did hold up to my dull prybar abusing it to stretch on. My knuckles took a beating. Good thing this only has to go on once. Otherwise no complaints. Good product
