Fulton Woodworking Tools 4" x 20' PVC Dust Collection Hose, Puncture Resistant Dust Hose, Carbon Steel Wire, Flexible Clear PVC Fume Collection - Made in USA

Bought this for my pet ferrets to use as a tunnel and it's been the most resistant pipe I have gotten. They claw at it alot and still not one hole has formed. It's a very sturdy but flexible as well.

Physically heavy. Worked with my Shop Fox perfectly. Tough enough that is doesn't fray or tear when using hose clamps. Each end had a razor sharp cut wire end sticking out. I didn't notice until I felt something wet on my shirt: blood everywhere!!! It sliced my bicep open. Be careful taking out out of the box. I used PVC pipe pieces (4" inside diameter pipe and 4" outside diameter insert pieces that you normally use to join two 4"pieces together) to make quick on/off fittings so the sharp edges don't matter. This is the only hose I'd use unless I switched to metal. Manufacturers of tools say that all plastic hoses need to be electrically grounded. There is a fifteen buck dust collector hose grounding kit that will do 50' or 25' in and out. 5 star (really 4 for ruining a new shirt with blood). I've seen so many awful hoses that I'll overlook the blood: this is the hose you want. Update 4/30/18: still the best hose I've used or seen...I ordered another two 20' sections because I'm moving my dust collector unit to another room, then running the new hose through the ceiling to the work room. VERY NICE HOSE!!!!!!!!!!! GROUNDING WIRE: There has never, ever been a verified PVC static-caused dust explosion in a HOME wood shop. Someone commented: "defies all the laws of electricity! Plastic is an insulator." ....yes some plastics are very good insulators in a circuit, but layers of insulation and layers of conductance make for...a capacitor!! The build up of static electricity will ALSObe on the outside of the hose. Many manufacturer's are actually (on their websites) saying that a wire on the OUTSIDE of the hose that is NOT even connected to anything at one end is fine for static bleed off. Electricity is a FIELD, static electricity is not a circuit, so it's a bad analogy. I build Leyden jars with plastic cans and charge them up by wiping a dry cloth on a piece of PVC pipe and that is enough to charge them up to LETHAL levels WITHOUT THE CLOTH/PVC ever touching the Leyden jar. Further, the goal here is to not get a static shock when you touch the hose, the static buildup is an electromagnetic field "around" the material of the hose--not necessarily inside it. The risk of explosion of dust flowing in a hose is extremely small, the whole point of these systems is to take the dust OUT OF THE AIR your breathing so there also isn't a flash-fire, like happens in saw mills and coal mines. If you don't ground your dust collection PVC you will get NASTY static shocks from it...but you "probably" won't explode. You don't explode when you get a static shock any other time do you? The exception: open gasoline/gas pumps which are proven (on video) to actually easily be ignited by a static shock off a human finger. I forgot my point actually except that: you can run wire outside--AND SOME HOSE suppliers say the wire that runs inside hoses like this is totally enough: just ground at a single end and you won't get static shocks...but which end (shop vac or the table saw, etc.??). If you buy a ground wire kit, make sure to leave some slack near any joints in your hose--that way if you need to pull the joint apart to clear a clog you don't have to cut the wire.

The clear PVC is thick and actually difficult to start a cut with a carpet knife which is a good thing. The size was a true 4" diameter and length accurate when stretched properly. Steel wire requires proper snips if you are sizing cutting and is very strong. Price maybe a bit high compared to others but for a few bucks more this totally is worth having vs some of the issues on other listings. I am using this for a yard debris vac hose and while it is not made for that, 7 square yards of leaves, sticks, sand, rocks and no tears. Shop dust should be easy peazy LOL, Highly recommended!

This hose isn't the greatest value on the market but it's a quality hose.works good on my dust collector.

I’m a builder and have a woodworking shop where I have 2 dust collectors. This flex hose is great to work with.

Extremely clear, very flexible, great fit on 4" plastic couplers.

I was tired of using the short and extremely expensive 7' long billy goat lawn vacuum hose. I bought the 20' hose and used it yesterday and it worked great for cleaning leaves out of bushes. This hose is lighter gauge vinyl than the billy goat hose, so I expect some tearing over time near the ends, but I figure with 20' to work with, I can just trim the bad ends off and keep using the hose. 20' is overkill and hard to store on the billy goat unit. The suction helps keep the hose constricted in length a bit, but once the suction is off, the 20' hose is a bit unwieldy to keep on the unit. Still, I would buy this length again and plan on removing the hose and using the green plastic hose outlet cover cap when I am using the billy goat for lawn leaf vacuuming vs bush vacuuming when I will need to put the hose back on. I plan on being as gentle as I can be with the hose (never pull the Billy Goat unit around by the hose or you will certainly rip the hose) and avoid sucking up oversize sharp sticks in the hose to reduce the risk of puncture. If you have larger mulch beds and need to park the billy goat farther from where the leaves are, get the 20' hose vs the 10' length and just be aware that onboard storage of the hose will be difficult and you may want to remove the hose between uses.

This is the best DC hose I've ever used. I wish I'd discovered it sooner. I spent some time fighting with a rather stiff and hard-to-use hose from PSI, then decided to order this to try. I just tossed out the PSI hose. It's SUPER flexible. Zero rigidity, and almost no "set" to it at all. The wire core is flexible plus provides a built-in grounding solution. Just trip a bit on each end to connect to the tool and ductwork. It's also very clear so you can see just how well your dust collector is performing and how much material you're removing. This is specially useful on things like the drum sander.

Excelente producto

Works as it should. great for dust control.

fits well for shop tough an durable just keep eyes on pricing many places sell this

My son was pleased with this product!

What I have come to realize that because it is a 4" diameter, adapters are needed for every connection point
