dump valve piping

[sximk4]

hi guys just a quick question... i have a balileys dump valve fitted and does anyone know the size(inside and outside diameter) of the piping that runs from the dump valve as mine has spilt and i need to replace it....

cheers

[sximk4]

its the small red tube that runs off the dump valve ... and down to the t-shaped white platic pipe if that helps

[sximk4]

Dims should match the one you are taking off?

yeah, keep the diameters the same, and you can use pretty much any silicone hosing, i bought a roll of samco hosing, only a few quid..

look at www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk perhaps, they may sell some in the samco hosing section

cheers will have a look only need the small bit that goes off the t shape bar and onto the pipe that runs up to the dump valve so guess could just cut it if i buy more

you can also buy vacuum hosing directly from vauxhall, comes in rolls and is pretty cheap - although they dont always keep it in stock

kool but i take it that any silicon hose will do ....i just ask coz my mate has some halford silicon hose that he said i could have a just what to know if it will do for a temp fix type thing till i can get some proper stuff

[Jonesy]

if its good silecone hose(cant see them selling crap stuff really, although it is halfrauds..) you should be ok really, aslong as its a tight fit to the ends its connecting to

kool cheers for the help

know this might sound stupid but is vacum hoses the same as sillicon hoses or are they 2 different things

[Gnasher]

Silicon hosing is the actual stuff it's made out of, you can get it in various diameters, for different uses.

Vacuum hoses are just small diameter hoses made out of silicon without all the extra reinforcement for the pressures used in boost pipes etc.

Hope that helps!
