Hello. My extractor hose going into the utility sink is less than 1" in circumference. I would think it may be closer to 7/8th. Will the lint trap still work? I measured from outer edge to outer edge. Thank you.

Yes it will work. My hose is about the same size. With the zip tie, you can tie the trap tightly to the hose.

George, I just tested it on a new toilet paper roll and a new paper towel roll. Worked great. I also measured the opening at the narrowest point where the grips are.....4 1/2 ". It's a nice grabber. Jill

While the hose is long enough we don't use it. The connections between the hose and sink do not match and I have been to numerous plumbing supply houses, no one sells an adapter. Save your self money DONT BUY IT !!!!!

I put these on a standard outdoor hose bib that I use for my garden hose. This is a great assembly, no leaks, easy to assemble. Working great. I have used three altogether.Sorry, don't know the measurement, I believe it's 3/4".

What you have to realize is that the hose attaches well down under the sink, then there has to be a loop in the hose which at the bottom of the loop a heavy weight is attached. This weight is needed to pull the hose back into its resting place. This loop in the hose and weight only allows for the hose to be pulled out 18 " even tho the hose is much longer. Hope this explains better.

I am not 100 percent sure how to explain it :). We have used this kind for of lint trap for years and they work great. When you put it on, you do pull the zip tie tight. You tie it on about 1/8 from the top, so their is a rolled edge above the lint trap. When it is "full" of lint, you roll it from the top (above the tie), and pull it off, and it slides off. I guess you could cut it off, but we have never had to.

I havent actually took the fitting out but im sure the one on the handle is a standard 1/4" npt fitting so im sure a standard 1/4" hose will work on it. The quick couplings on the hose it comes with are not standard tho.

The manual says that an inch-and-a-half or smaller hose will continually clog from the clumps of lint (Step 13--page 14 in my copy).

Don't know. You'd have to ask the company or a plumber. Personally, I would get it especially if I didn't Have a disposal. We live on a lake with our own septic and even though the prior owner put in a disposal, we don't really use it. That's why I really love this trap. It catches everything and it's deep so when you're cutting, etc. you don't have to dump it every two seconds. I just dump it when I'm done. I hope that helps.

OK... but isn't the reality of it that the I.D. of a 1/4" fitting (which by the way is the PIPE THREAD size of the fitting, not the inner size) roughly the same as that of a 3/8" air hose? Yes, it is.Then, take a look at the inside diameter of the standard AIR FITTING... pretty small, isn't it? Bottom line is this: For the very short time that the air is passing through the smaller diameter air fitting, the pressure drop across that fitting is negligible.

not big enough to remove the stopper from the drain, but slightly smaller than drain diameter. no problem at all for me to pick up the grid and take out the stopper.

I used the same size (1/2) for a pvc 1/2 with some couplers and works ok. Read a little more. I think ABS pipe is not for water feeding.

I own a auto detailing company and purchased this hose to use on a 3100 psi pressure washer, I have been using it for a couple of months with no problems. The diameter of this hose is small than the commercial hoses I usually use. I'm sure within a years time I will be replacing it as we pull our hoses across asphalt constantly and this slowly degrades the hose exterior shell.

I haven't used it in a sink, but considering your minimum radius is about 6", it will not get around a P trap. Length of mine is about 3'.

The inner diameter of the line needs to be 1/4 inch...so 1/4" hose is probably okay.

I'm not sure how you measure that exactly, I was only concerned about the hose size. I put a caliper inside where the fittings screw in, it was just a bit under 3/8 inch. I hope that helps.

I too have a very limited space for a connection in my utility compartment. Solution; the Viper 2' extension hose. It's made by Valterra Products. Camping World part number 74361. $15.79 on sale. I attached the FloJet pump to this extension hose and was able to lay it in my compartment. I then routed the blue 1" line from the FloJet out the bottom hatch of my compartment. Without the viper extension, it would be almost impossible to use the FloJet. My sewer connection was just mounted in a poor location! Hope this helps
