Where to get short 6" flex hose for DC

[Edward Warren]

I can find lots of sources for ten foot lengths of hose, but I only need one or two feet at the most. Does anyone know where to get just a little bit of this stuff?

I am running mostly solid ductwork, but I want to isolate my DC a little. I have about a two or three foot straight section before the first 30 degree bend. I figured I would put a small section of flex somewhere in this straight section to reduce the vibration/noise in the system. I am still debating whether or not to use it for that 30 degree bend, or put it right at the fan as a straight section.

I need to get some hose first though.

Phone a local HVAC company, trade one of the guys a coffee and doughnut for that piece of flex he's throwing in the dumpster....Rod.

Are you SURE you couldn't use a 7-8' piece of 6" flex somewhere else in your system?

I bought a 5' piece from Oneida. Not cheap ($30), but didn't need more than that...

Most HVAC companies only carry flex duct for positive pressure. My piece is for the negative pressure side. I don't want something That will collapse.

Chris - I am trying to avoid using flex at all, and besides, most of the system is 4" & 5" anyway.

Thanks Matt - I'll try Oneida. I just don't like waist...

Where are you located ?? I got a short piece of heavy-duty stuff that came with my ClearVue that I doubt I'll ever use. Where ya' want it sent ??

Thanks Bob - I just sent you an email. I am outside Philly.

Hi Edward, I'm using the semi-rigid aluminum flex on my Oneida cyclone, no collapse yet after years of use.
