What is the Mopar Application for 11/32" Hose?

[Dibbons]

I remember seeing this hose listed as a factory installation for our Mopars, but I can't remember where it is used. Anybody know for sure? Thank you.

I think the PCV hose is often 11/32"

Power steering return hose?

Brake Booster

Ditto on brake booster for size but must be the heavy wall stuff that says its for that. Can't/should not use regular fuel/pcv etc hose for that as it will collapse under high vacuum.

Correct.

Vacuum hoses and Pressure hoses should be marked accordingly.
General fuel hose is a dangerous substitute in a vacuum or pressure situation.

Yeah, a lot of hose that people think is 3/8" is really 11/32". Heavier wall.

 

[Dibbons]

Is that all Mopar power brake boosters?

I just measured a booster hose fitting from a factory '65 A Body with my dial calipers and it measured exactly 3/8". I have not had a chance to measure the hose fitting on my '72 BBody yet.

Yup. 11/32 gives it just a little better seal.

If you Google search that photo it's for a Tennant vacuum cleaner.

I could probably find some Mexican down here who could make that work (and that is a compliment).

I know it states that the picture is "for reference only" but you think they would at least used a picture of an automotive type hose. If that's what you saw in the add.
