The best. Ordered shorter pieces if vinyl hose purported to be vac hose. They were a waste of money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Price around... with the quality expected from gates *by J***B on October 21, 2025* It's Gates. The best is what you'd expect. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Quality Hose That Works Perfectly With 3/16" Brass Fittings *by J***N on July 20, 2025* I was impressed with the outer wall thickness and quality of this hose. I purchased it to retrofit the windshield washer nozzle lines on my vehicle, and it worked perfectly. 3/16" brass connectors work well with the 4mm inner diameter, just make sure you use a bit of isopropyl alcohol as a lubricant to fit the hose line to the connectors. To the other reviewers here complaining the ID is too large for their fittings, the solution is simple: getting larger fittings. Of course 4mm to 4mm is going to be loose, they're the same. Unless you're using hose clamps, expect the fitment to be loose. It's just common sense... ## Frequently Bought Together - Gates 27042 Windshield Washer/Vacuum Hose-50' Length, Inner Diameter 5/32" - Gates 27044 Windshield Washer/Vacuum Hose-50' Length, Inner Diameter 1/4" - Gates 27041 Windshield Washer/Vacuum Hose-50' Length, Inner Diameter 7/64" --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/7415158-gates-27042-windshield-washer-vacuum-hose-50-length-inner-diameter](https://www.desertcart.it/products/7415158-gates-27042-windshield-washer-vacuum-hose-50-length-inner-diameter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
