Title: Anyone used an Amtec 1.5" flexible add on hide a hose?
Post by: Adam Eastman on March 21, 2016, 10:58:19 pm

Wondering if anyone uses the above mentioned hose and any pros or cons I should be aware of. Thinking of using either direct from the machine on shorter runs or after a 2" hose on longer runs.

Pros -  might be more convenient sometimes

Cons - Its pricey compared to standard
            -  hide a hose .. in my experience does not have a perfect seal , so slight but perhaps not significant suction leek.
            -  The solution hose inside decreases the vacuum hose size and must cause a bit of airflow resistance ( perhaps not significant)
            - u will have to occasionally clear trapped fluff from the inside where the it gets snagged on the internal solution hose
             - some of those black hoses contract a fair bit compared to others when vacuum is applied
