drakes4moose Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I am looking for a source or an idea of where I can get flexible metal hose/pipe/tubing that would be 3-inch outside diameter to connect my blower to my forge. I am currently using dryer vent hose, which is working, but is not ideal. I have been searching the internet and local hardware stores, but haven't found what I am looking for. Would probably work better if I actually knew exactly what I was looking for!!Thanks,CodyHave you looked in the section about blowers for this information? we will relocate this there.

Charlotte Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I found a reinforced large diameter hose at a Home depot big box store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drakes4moose Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Thanks for the quick response, looks like a trip to the auto parts store tonight is in order.I have looked around Lowes and Home Depot, with no luck, but I usually never find what I am looking for in those places.

SReynolds Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 is this a trick question?.......any truck dealer. any size. carbon steel aluminized finish or stainless steel. sells per foot. They sell the band clamp too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Metal flex pipe is required by code for clothes driers in some places. Appliance stores carry it.Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I tend to pick up any I see at the scrapyard; I like the heavy steel stuff vs the light Al dryer stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
