POWERTEC 6" x 10' PVC Flexible Dust Collection Hose with 5pcs Stainless Steel Key Hose Clamps for Woodworking and Garage, Wood Shop Dust Collection System, Cyclone Dust Separator (70371)

The media could not be loaded. This “tunnel” is all of our ferrets’ favorite thing to play in, sleep in, and stash toys in.It’s easy to wash with a ferret shampoo and a scrubber in a bath tub of hot water. Then hand towel or hang dry over night.The only downside was the initial smell that took a few months to start to leave. After three deep cleans, the smell finally started to settle down.I always look for heavy duty items that will be a long term investment. This way our ferrets are less likely to destroy and/or ingest things they shouldn’t.This product meets all expectations:* Durable construction that won’t collapse, trap, or injure* Safe for continuous use* Wide enough for multiple ferrets to play, sleep, and stash toys in at the same time* Long enough to be exciting to play in* Easy to clean and dry* Novel and fun* Doesn’t encourage chewing or destructive behaviors due to quality buildOther things to note:*Room temperature doesn’t go below 60 degrees or above 75 degrees Fahrenheit.* Tunnel is always kept indoors.* Cleaning bath water temperature doesn’t go above 110 degrees Fahrenheit.* Cleaning is with a pet safe shampoo specifically made for skin and coat contact.* A standard soft dish scrubber 🧽 is used to minimize scratching or accidental damage to the tunnel.* Any pet “accidents” cleaned up beautifully from the product without lingering odors or damage when cleaned up with 6 hours of onset — sometimes messes occur overnight and they are cleaned up promptly in the morning.* Drying with a high absorbency microfiber cleaning cloth or a standard cotton hand towel yields the best results.* Cleaning tunnel daily/weekly when in use with pets will minimize dirt, dust, allergies, and negative respiratory effects from particles shed in the tunnel. Confined spaces need to be kept clean for optimal health.We’ve had this tunnel for almost 8 months and no issues. Will absolutely be purchasing more.

durable, matches diameter as described, flexibility good

I used this to connect the 5 inch intake on my Oneida Mini-Dust Gorilla to an 18 inch bandsaw. The dust collector is only a foot or two away from the bandsaw, and I’m sure I could get more suction if I shortened the hose. Still fiddling with the arrangement and will shorten the hose once I’ve figured out the placement. Solid and smooth metal ducting would be more efficient but would limit flexibility. Hose looks sturdy enough but hard to tell about long-term durability. I have another 5 inch hose from Oneida. It was more expensive and is stiffer/less flexible, but in 3 years of use it has held up very well.

I use these for my grow tents for my ac units and it’s been working tremendously better than using ducts, only gets warm, doesn’t get hot it’s amazing super durable as well might be buying another in my future for another tent AC unit!

This was great for what I needed. I just needed the plastic to be a little bit thicker.

I use Powertec products for my woodshop dust collection and this hose is the same high quality as the my previous Powertec purchases. I expect it to last many years.

Used this to replace damaged PVC exhaust hose for Sharp portable AC unit. The old unit was flexible but could retain its shape and weight after bending. This hose sagged horribly as soon as hot exhaust air went through it. Had to support it with a small folding table so the hose could reach the window. However, this was a much cheaper replacement than an actual Sharp hose. The diameter was slightly larger than the Sharp ports, but a section of the old hose and duct tape worked to solve the problem.

Pretty thin, there are better hoses out there for a little more money.
