Who on here is using Supraflex vac hose 2in.?i seen it on TMF site.i need to start replacing vac hose. I also am wondering if anyone is familiar with hydro force solution line (blue).i am using it in 50 ft sections but the other day I took the orange QDC cover off and rolled up my solution line and the QDCs broke apart and POW busted lip,thankful my front tooth didn't break off.havent had this happen in .anyway I am wondering how to get Hydroforce 100 ft sol line.i like how it coils around

Glen;

IMO, the Superflex vac hose with the light blue inner liner is the best TM hose around.

Flexibility is great, and long-term durability is also preserved.

A good distributor should offer quality blue wire-braid hose in any length you need.

We offer 50, 75, 100, 150 lengths with smooth cover all the time.

I don't need braided line,I run a direct drive and the heat is not a dragon.therefore I prefer Hydroforce line.and can only get it in 50 ft.would really like 100ft.if they make 50 why not 100

The quality Parker thermoplastic TM hose is available in anything up to 250 ft. lengths.

He is talking about the hydro-flex solution line not Parker Paraflex and we can get either made any length and for what TMF is calling Amflex vac hose it is a the same. Amflex,Super flex, lil' better whatever you want to call it we stock it in 50 and 100' sections.

As for the hydro-flex solution hose, If your distributor told you it only comes in one length it is because they don't want to be bothered. Call me and I'll get you taken care of

I also don't burn grass. if your still using goodyear you are out of the loop.

Pretty well sums it up.

LOL Larry. Want a debate in what's better I hate hydro-flex and Parker is a better hose and would tell him so if asked but he was asking a specific question about a specific product which usually means they are expecting a specific answer. I could be wrong though maybe he was hoping someone someone would give an answer completely irrelevant to his question


PS hydro-flex isn't good year or their new Chinese steel braided.

As a distributor & TM manufacturer,

my job is to inform the customer . . .

as to the best product for his application.

Maybe, Glen could chime in.

I got that Vac hose it is nice hose. Once in a while I do get a kink it if I am not paying attention but I do like. Solution hose; just depends everyone has their one favorite. I do like the hose Joe B sells.
I think it just boils down to how hot your machine runs and your working preferences.
