Flexible heater ducting

[hndrsonj]

Anyone have a source for just the flexible ducting for a duece heater? Mine is a little ragged and i'd like to replace it.

I got mine at the local NAPA.

JC WHITNEY HAS THE CORRECT CLOTH STYLE FOR THE BOOTH 3" & 4" DUCTING. OTHERWISE CHECK LOCAL RESTORATION SHOPS

Well the local NAPA guy said they didn't have it and said to use a dryer vent tube , and all I can find on JC Whitney is 3". Any more ideas?

I really seem to remember Year One having it at one point......

Try part # 9362N at Year One..... It is a 6' long section of 4" tubing...

Believe it or not, if I remember my codes correctly, that part # means it is an original GM part.

Finally got a NAPA guy who knows a little, part number 815-5007. They only had 30" and they say it's the last in Texas. When I went to the NAPA online site I cold not pull up that part number-discontinued?????

Another option (if you are not intent on having mil-spec), is to browse a woodworking supply house. They offer flexible ducting in various sizes for dust collection systems. They also have fittings, such as elbows and tees, if you want to route something custom.

Worldwide Shortage

When I checked at my NAPA last week, he told me that the supplier was on worldwide backorder. He is supposed to be checking and let me know when it is available. The smallest length I could get was 6' long.

The company that used to make it here in the USA is busy shipping it's flexible duct making machinery to China, so they can make it for 20% of the previous cost and charge you 20% more for it. Please be patient with them.
