Hi,
I have the difficult task to find in Mexico an odorless 1in hose for new compressor installation intake. So far everything stinks horribly. I guess I should be looking for some kind of food grade hose, but I have no clue where to find it. What do you guys use?
 
Thanks Herb. It seems hard to find this in Mexico but I will try :)
 
If it's for your Vertecon, I would go larger than 1" diameter. Try either a home or pool vacuum cleaner hose which is around 1.5" diameter and should fit over the outside of your air filter intake.

Why do you need a snorkel and how long does it need to be, as the longer you go it gradually has to increase in size.

Thanks! The pool hose is a great idea. I need it to connect to a Nitrox stick - no more than 2 meters, probably less.
 
I use this- McMaster-Carr

I understand they ship to Mexico, so it should not be an issue to obtain it. I would match the hose to your intake opening, since any wider will have to go through the same restriction anyhow.
