Is this wrong hose

[1930]

Have a small leak at water intake, tightening clamp no help. I'm thinking this is wrong hose cause I don't see how it could possibly seal.

It looks like the hose is quite a bit bigger than the fitting. You should have to work the hose onto the fitting, then tighten the hose clamp. Don't try to use the clamp to try to tighten a over size hose on to a fitting.

I dont know where it came from but it reminds me of a pool vacuum hose. Im sure it cant be correct.

geT Correct black water hose from and auto parts store and hose clamps and it looks like 1/2" ID

That is a standard 1 1'4 " pool vacuum hose. Should be the right hose for a gravity fill. Do not know why it is not sealing.

What is the outside diameter of the fitting?

I appreciate the replies, sometimes I make a post cause Im wondering if there is something special with RVing that I just dont know. Dosent sound like it in this case, I wont waste anyones time on this one.

In my opinion there is zero chance that this is the correct hose, I am gonna get what I know to be correct hopefully tomm and that will presumably make this problem go bye bye

That looks like the vent hose that comes off the top of my freshwater tank but the fitting doesnt. Are you sure there isnt another fitting on the top of the tank??

Thanks for the effort, I bought a new hose at Lowes tonight and all is good, no more leaks

1930,

I don't know if you are aware of it, but many of us automatically bypass on any message with attached photo's. That's because we have no way of telling how big it is and it may take forever to down load at the limited speed available to us in many cases. There is a reason for the size limitation!

I did not know that.

I have no way of making the images smaller, I used to but now that I have a newer laptop I don't have the same software.

I know there are other ways of doing it but it seems like a lot of hassle to learn yet another computer skill

If you're using Windows, Paint reduces they size easily and simply.
