This hose is a duplicate of the 2.5 hose that comes with all the Shop-Vac fullsize vacuums. My original has been durable over several years of use. Shop-Vac has a patented hose locking system that makes it head & shoulders better than some other brands where the hose is always pulling away from the vacuum. It also keeps the hose from kinking up by being free moving. I've used Shop-Vac part # 906-86-00 2.5" Hose Coupling (For Coupling 2.5" hoses) to double the length of hose for my Shop-Vac 931-16-11. You should have no trouble with the extra hose length usage with a 4 hp vac or higher.
This is a medium weight vac hose for a decent price. There are a few heavier duty hose products (Mr Hose) out there, but for general use the Shop-Vac product works great!

Hose is fine. I bought it to connect to my dust collection system above my work bench. The flexibility for my purpose is ideal. The hose that I purhased from Home Depot was too stiff. One unexpected bonus. The hose connectors are easily removed from the hose itself. This means that it is easy to shorten the hose to the perfect length.

I got my original hose with the 10 Gal stainless QSP Shopvac over 10 years ago and within a few years the plastic ends of the hose started breaking down and despite my best efforts to glue them back together they just disintegrated. The hose is still fine but is rendered useless without the rotating cuffs on the ends. I just wish the cuffs could be ordered separately. I just bought the 8 foot hose that does have removable ends but no part numbers for those parts either. I'm hoping that the plastic in the newer ends holds up better. I'm using my shopvac in a machine shop environment and I'm pretty sure the cutting oil I'm using is affecting the plastic.

Hose is good and resists kinking/deforming well, but they do build up a good amount of static cling :) Can get these for about the same price at your local big box stores (about $20 to $25).

I bought this hose to vent the exhaust pipe of my car out of the garage, through a homemade port, for warm-ups.... works great, and I had enough left over to lengthen my shop vac hose by 6ft!!

The hose on these units are such a joke. Its like pulling a Slinky around the shop. The hoses are cheap and flimsy. Give the hose a slight tug and the shop vac does nothing. Give it a firm tug and it comes racing at you like greased lightning. Look out!
