Siphon blaster hose question

[Crabman]

I have had for a long time an inexpensive Campbell Hausfeld siphon blaster. It is useful for items that will not fit into my blast cabinet. The hose has given up the ghost. It is 10' of 3/8 id hose. The gun, nozzle and pick up tube are fine. These are cheap, like $15, but just getting a new piece of hose seems easier. Any thoughts on what type of hose to use? Thanks, Bruce

Which hose?? Air pressure or suction? For suction hose on my cabinet, I use clear tubing from Lowes or HomeDespot. For the air pressure side, just ordinary air hose material.

It is the suction hose from the pick up tube to the front of the gun.
It is black rubber and looks like heater hose or gas line hose.
Thanks for the reply, Bruce

I use 5/8" heater hose on all my suction blasters for the pickup tube.

Thanks, it looks like heater hose.

I will report back after I install and use.

5/8" ID seems to be the standard that all the big brands use. At least ****, Econoline, & Cyclone do
