Does anyone know what the diameter of the hose is? Also, one commenter says the hose is "hard plastic," and another says it's "more flexible." ??

The hose is approx. 1 1/4" in dia. The hose is made of plastic but is very flexible, can be easily rolled up.

I just put a tape measure on my hose. It's 5 inches around (circumference). I guess the spiral coil going through it is hard plastic, but the hose is very flexible. It does not seem as sturdy as the original equipment. However, the tradeoff is that it is lighter weight, easier to drag around, and cost less.

Fits 1.5-inch receptacle. Hose is much softer, more flexible and more manageable than the one that came with our central vac system ten years ago. It easy squeezes into an 18-inch by 10-inch hamper for storage.

The inside diameter of the wall connection hose end is 1.25 inches; the outside diameter of the wall connection hose end is just shy of 1.5 inches. The outside diameter of the flexible portion of the hose is also just shy of 1.5 inches. The hose is primarily plastic, but it's flexible (allows it to curve and coil), not "hard", although the cross section of the plastic portion is fairly rigid. The diameter of the metallic hose end that connects to the wand is approximately 1 1/8 inches.

Just got this in the mail... outer diameter measures approx 3 1/4". The outer 3/8" is the flexible part. I tried to upload some pics but cant seem to figure out how.

The line your looking at will work just fine as long as your not planning on moving it around and changing the fittings. It is a very stiff hose, if you plan on changing things from time to time I would say to go with a more flexable general purpose hose. That is what I use now because I work with hydroponics and change things often.

yes , the hose is a standard size ; and the fittings are standard fittings . /// But , this hose looks in the picture like a hose that was used in years before . It is not this same hose material . There is about a twenty dollar difference ; and the characteristics of the hose are not similar . The older style , thicker rubber hose does not seek to kink itself like this hose . It's like an telephone handset cord . Both hoses are very stiff high pressure hose , but this newer style hose is much lighter [good] and is very hard to keep from tangling itself into a tangle of loops [bad] . it doesn't need to be twisted around to do this , it seeks to do it on its own . It's ok for working with in the open but is frustrating in any close area because of its tendency to tangle . There is a $20.00 about difference --- one is heavier , the other kinks .

If you look at my review you can see that you are not sure what you are getting. I wouldn't recommend it. I got a rubber hose from Gemplers. Item No: 221806

Size 1 is the one pictured in your post, for almost three times more money, cant imagine what size 2 is. similar hoses go for $ in the mid 20 dollar range

Most customers find that this is a flexible and not stiff hose.Melanie with Goedekers

Thick enough to be rigid/stiff. I don't know the actual mil on it. It's probably double to triple the thickness of your usual heavier duty, normal sewer hoses.

the outside diameter of the hose is 7/8 inch. at the end of the fitting it is reduced down to 3/16. it has a fitting at both ends, you can shorten it but you won't have the fitting anymore. it is welded plastic.

I don't know what the diameter is but the black hose was useless in the sense that it is to small to effectively sick the fluid. I had some clear plastic tubing purchased at home depot that I used for sucking engine oil from the dipstick.Clear tubing is better so you can see the oil.

Same diameter as a hose thread, but it requires a fine thread. Hose thread to too course and won't fit.

The hose that I use I just bought at the hardware store so it is just a "normal" hose. I don't know whether it is 3/4 inch or not, what is the diameter of a "normal" hose? This probably won't help much but it the best I can do. "Z"

Flexible. It's a rubber hose with two different fittings (one for schrader and one for presta) that thread onto the body when you use it. The hose fitting for the valve is a straight-line fitting and not a 90 degree bend like you generally find on most hand pumps.

I think the key to flex hose is NEVER leave the water running and the nozzle off.. The hose isn't made to hold the force of water and you close your nozzle at the end and then your water pressure splits the hose. Mine has lasted more than one season, but I read and followed the directions

I'm sorry Tom, I can't answer the questions you asked. I can tell you that after giving the hose a glowing review I've completely changed my mind. The hose blew a hole near the very end. It supposedly has a life time warranty so I contacted the manufacturer and they never replied. Do yourself a favor and buy a heavy duty hose that costs but lasts......~ c

It's really a function of the nozzle you put on it. The diameter of it seems to be narrower thanthe normal hose and I have no problem than with the pressure.

i just checked and it seems possibly the very hose i bought may have a suit against it. we bought a 25 footer that does its job around the house, then bought a 75 footer which has worked so far. i love the light weight aspect. now, x-hose is advertising theirs as the authentic one with 3/4" diameter - that one i want to get next. x-hose for sure advertises they are durable. we will baby ours and i hope it lasts!
