This is about $8 for 10' length, so half the price of the Jet hose. I needed 3 24' runs of piple for my shop to hook up 8 machines.
it fits perfect inside the Jet hose. Use thin wall PVC sewer pipe for long runs, and get the 4" to 3" inside diameter PVC reducer.
This is fine for connecting to the machines directly, more than flexiable enough if you have them on wheels to move around. The joint fittings are comparable in price, so even buying the reducer to fit the PVC to the Jet hose, I still saved a lot of money.
Connect this hose to the reducer and the machine and you're in business. For the long runs from the vacuum itself, I used thin wall sewer PVC from Lowes.
With smooth walls, it should be better for air flow too.
As time has gone by (6 months) the ridges have started to fatigue and the hose is 'kinking' in places. I selected this product on basis of price alone (don't do that). For a moving configuration, buy something with more flex. My estimation is this hose would be fine if left stationary. The hose works well with my 2 1/2 HP dust collector. The problem I have with it is I'm switching it between 3 different machines.
I PURCHASED THIS BEFORE I REALIZED I COULD HAVE PURCHASED TWICE AS MUCH FOR A ABOUT THREE BUCKS MORE.Jet JW1032 4-Inch x 20-Foot Black Dust Collection Hose
It is GREAT. I ended up throwing it all away and ordering some more Clear flexable tubing. Not very flexible, so doesn't turn corners real well. Actually, it doesn't even want to bend much at all.
However, the clear heavy duty version of this is expensive and this will do the job if your willing to take the disconfort. It works well for runs. It is not as good for connecting to tools.
