Vacuum hose

[supton]

Been to two Autozones today, looking for 1/2" ID hose. No go at either. Is this an oddball size?

Looked online and it doesn't seem that cheap either, like dollars per foot. Has it been that long since I've bought the stuff, and it's really just that expensive now?

I used a chunk of 1/2" ID PVC hose to figure out that I needed that size for my '99 Camry crankcase line (from valve cover to air intake hose), so I'm pretty sure that is the right size.

An AutoZone near me is old fashioned as it has reels of hose of all sizes right out in public.
There's even a hose cutter hanging from a chain.
Remarkable in this age of theft, dishonesty and hyperly perceived liabilities.

You're looking for 1/2 radiator hose to act like a vacuum hose in the PCV system, right?

Just use some 1/2" fuel line. It will be better than vacuum hose.

Go to a decent NAPA.

Autozones are for clearance oil near the end of the year.

Don't technically need a hose rated for vacuum, just something that can deal with oil and temperature.
I would use oil cooler or transmission cooler hose if it will contort and fit.
Might also want to consider the genuine Toyota part.
Fuel line is not very good at dealing with oil or high temps.
Autozone is about the last place I would look for this stuff.

try rockauto, if you're not in a hurry.

AutoZone here is useless for hose by the ft. Napa and O'Riley's have it though

Alright, will try someplace else next.

Tried looking up the part online, but haven't had success in figuring out what the part is called. Seemed generic enough that anything rubber would work.
