[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 974683, member: 52972"] Eddie is correct. They used the wrong type of hose that is too soft and collapses. It's also possible you have some blockage in the line and the vacuum is not flowing causing the hose to collapse but even then, the hose is still too soft. If a hose is leaking, It might be cracked/split or they used the wrong inside diameter hose. The hose is too big and is not fitting tightly around the pipe nipple...sometimes you can just install a small hose clamp to solve the leaking problem, but that would not be necessary if you use the correct size hose. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
