This is a premium tube has a braided reinforcement and a double-wall construction. It looks a lot like what you'd find in the hardware store. The difference is that this Canadian-made tube will not collapse under vacuum and it has a polished inside wall which supposedly improves flow. It is very flexible and designed to last a lifetime. This is the vacuum tube we include with all of our vacuum press kits.
Though it is expensive, it will hold up under vacuum and it will not quickly degrade in the presence of sunlight/fluorescent light like many other imported tubings. Many hardware stores sell lower 10-foot quality rolls of braided tubing for more than $16!
Can I get this tube in longer lengths?
All of our stock is pre-cut to 10 ft lengths at the factory. We don't have access to longer pieces, however we do offer a brass fitting that can join two pieces of tubing together.

Very nice hose. It is a good grade of material with fabric reinforcing braid. It is nicely flexible but substantial enough to not collapse under extreme vacuum. I have used this hose from VeneerSupplies.com for years and never had a failure or complaint.

I received the vacuum tube as advertised within the expected time frame. The installation of the tubing was simple and fast. Under 30inHg the tubing worked perfectly.
