REFLECTOR: Re: Vacuum system

[David Scharfenberg]

I used the type of air hose that is used on semi-trucks, it's hard 
plastic and measured by the OD.  I think mine is 5/8".  It can be found 
at a truck repair business, Eastman is one brand of hose.  Actually, I 
used Stratoflex for the short run from the vacuum pump to the standby 
vacuum valve and the plastic stuff from there to the regulator up 
front.
