Heater hose - What size?

[Tintop]

Hi all

I hope you can help, one of my hoses has corroded and fallen off but i don't know what diameter it should be (until i crawl under tha van), i'm at work and have the opportunity to nip out and get the hose, if i knew what size it is.

Right: I'll try and explain which bit it is.

If we move from the back of the bus to the front.

Heat echangers, heat exchanger connecting pipes, y pipe, large pipe runs through chassis to front, y pipe - main pipe to cab, small hose (the one i need to find the measurement for) which feeds the rear passenger compartment from the rear of the walkthrough floor.

I hope this makes sense.

good call Matt!! this looks like it might do the trick. the actual diameter of the steel outlet pipe is 40 mm so the extra 4mm off the internal diameter might be just right! even if its a bit loose,a wrap of ducting tape around the outlet before you attach the ducting would be OK!


up date - OK Tin top,I've bought a length of this stuff,I'll let you know how I get on to save you buying a length as well.I'll up date this thread when I try to fit it up & take pics if its OK.give us a couple of weeks though.

Cheers - Rob
