Told the guy I need reinforced brake servo/booster vacuum hose. The strong stuff please sir. We he says he has just the right thing and pulls out what is labeled as "1/2 inch (12.7mm) Premium Heater Hose made in USA by The Gates Corporation". He says that this is what they are using for hose and is good for brake booster lines. I asked him if it is strong enough not to collapse from the vacuum because I specifically need strong reinforced hose. He says that it has two layers of nylon braiding inside the rubber and that the vacuum from the engine isn't really that strong anyway and definitely not enough to collapse the hose. Says he can order the specific brake booster type hose, but says it is not as robust as the Premium Heater Hose he had right there (not sure if this was the truth or not). I eventually caved and bought it not really knowing if it was right. (5 ft cost me under $10.00- seems way cheap).
I need confirmation before I go and start installing it, what are your thoughts? Will this work alright? How extreme is the max vacuum force that is being applied to this hose anyway??
