Good Hose, Great For the Purpose

2004-09-08
This hose fits the standard 4" couplings snugly. The nice thing is that it will not get damaged by accidentally stepping on it. It springs back. It is light enough to be used as a movable hose for picking up a pile of sawdust. It isn't affected by a strong vacuum, so it is strong enough to not collapse without springing back. Nice job Jet. It is a wire reinforced hose.
The wire clamps are the best to secure it. Typical band clamps, like the type that are used for water hoses are not suggested. They spread themselves over the coiled wire. Such a wire is not meant to collapse. The wire clamps on the other hand are meant to slide down in between the wires, meeting with the plastic hose material, enabling the preferred compression directly onto the sleeve. Jet makes nice wire clamps as well.
Overall highly recommended.

Works Great!

I use several of these hoses in my shop to connect power tools to my Jet vacuum system. They work great. They work the best with the wire clamps. I recommend using a distribution of rigid plastic or metal pipe to get to the woodworking machine, then use one of these hoses to connect the machine to the rigid system. These hoses also can be used to vacuum the floor or other areas but are a bit clumsey due to the large diameter.

Don't Get Hosed !!

This is an excellent Dust Collection Hose. It does measure a consistent 4" and always fit easily over the connection fitting. It is somewhat flexible and very rigid, but will not coil back into itself. This might be a problem if you move your equipment back and forth.

The other hose options are a Clear Hose, which allows you to see any possible clugs and air blocks in the DC system. And there is a 50 foot coil hose, which is not as rigid, but it is sturdy and it will coil back into itself, allowing for the movement of machinery.

I used all three in my DC system. The clear hose where large particles would be generated (lathe, bore machine), the 10 foot rigid hose in areas that would always remain fixed in location. And the 50 foot coil hose (cut up, of course) on machine that I move back and forth from the wall to the garage floor. I don't have endless space in the garage for all the "needed" equipment I have to use.

All three hoses work just fine, no problems, no issues.

I could not get the hose to fit over any other manufacturer's 4" fittings. I had to split it and then tape it closed. I have a system going from 6" mains, mostly 5" drops; just a few 4" connections off a wye at the bandsaw and router table. Everything else worked well together except this hose.

junk.
a few reasons.
1, it creats way too much static ground it or else!!!
2, it is like a big slinkey it tries to shrink back to its 12" colapsed size when ever there is suction.
3 if you use it to make a bend then turn on the system it will pinch the bend almost closed thus reducing the flow way too much!!
4, the plastic covering is very cheap like a 4 mil drop cloth feel.
i have a 2hp 1650 cfm system in my shop and no matter what i hook it to it tries to shrink when i turn it on even with the"big gulp" or my 12"x 10" lathe hood..
i have several hoses different types and never had one this bad
its like a spring wound in a trashbag!!
seriously aviod this go the extra $1.00 to $3.00 and get a heavy duty hose you will not regret the extra cost as much as you will regret this junk!!

Flexible 4" hose 2007-09-26
The hose is still in the box, but it looked okay. Only time will tell if the quality is there.

An A+ product and a reasonable price. Be ready to warm up this hose to get it flexible and buy the grounding kit...plastic hose can really build up static electricity...

Its pretty good with a few drawbacks... 2006-07-12
I bought this hose to use with a Jet dust collector in my one car garage wood shop. Though my shop is small and the collector is very portable, I decided that the best dust solution for me was to duct the collector down one wall of the shop with several gated outlets for various stationary tools and one gated outlet near the floor for mobile tools out in the center of the room.

This 10' Jet hose proved to be an essential component of this system. I used 4' lengths of galvanized metal duct everywhere that I could, but I still needed plenty of this flex hose to make the connections to my radial arm saw and miter saw (since the dust ports on these tools move while in use).

I have been very pleased with the rigidity and strength of this hose - in fact, my only beef is that it is almost too rigid. If you have a length of it that you use for mobile tools, it is very cumbersome since it does not easily roll up for storage.

I am happy to report that this hose fit perfectly on all of my 4" dust collection fittings (all of which were made by Jet also). In my opinion, the hose is well made even if its a bit too rigid, and the price is ok. I have also used the Woodstock International hose and find it to be cheaper and more flexible but not nearly as strong or crush resistant. Choose the one with the features that meet your needs.
