Hello
Lately I have encountered many different types of vacuum hoses in wood pellet stoves. To my dismay, some changes or reformulations maybe resulting from cost savings are causing trouble and shutting down stoves!
Some hoses get loose, some crack and others get brittle!
It is amazing that such a simple product like a vacuum hose varies so much from stove to stove in not only color but resistance to heat and wear when getting brittle and cracked!
On the other hand car vacuum hoses on american cars are the same good quality black hoses that remain unchanged in many, many years!
The picture below shows:
1. 4 year old Enviro vacuum hose on top shown by a red arrow.
2. 2 month old Englander vacuum hose shown by a blue arrow.
3. New 7/32 car vacuum hose shown by a orange arrow that is the same size as the pellet stove hoses.
Does anyone have a preference? What is the best? What will last longer?
Why not some High Performance Stainless Steel Vacuum hose? ?
