[VAC] Re: uburban Furnace hose
Part of the Suburban safety recall, was to replace the the hose between the
blower and combustion chamber. There is a small amount of heat at the
combustion chamber end of that hose, therefore in time, it "will crack".
Ordinary automotive radiator hose can be used.
THE PROPER INSIDE DIMENSION OF THAT HOSE IS 2 1/4 INCHES.
A 2 1/2 INCH INSIDE DIAMETER HOSE WILL NOT FIT CORRECTLY, ALLOWING AIR TO
ESCAPE WITHOUT BEING FORCED OVER THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER, RESULTING IN POOR
HEATING.
Expect to pay $2.00 to $3.00, per inch, for that hose.
