Tornado Hose 3/8″ O.D. x 22″ 32317

The Tornado Hose 3/8″ O.D. x 22″ (part# 32317) is the genuine OEM natural-tube line for the mid-length runs of the solution circuit — the ones that cross the chassis rather than hop between neighbouring fittings. Its problems are routing problems, not vibration problems, which makes it a different repair from the short jumper even though the tube is identical.

A 22-inch run has to get past moving parts, and that is where it fails. Look for a shiny flat worn along one side where the hose has rested against a bracket edge or the brush drive; for a kink at the point where it changes direction, usually created when someone refitted it taking the short way round; and for heat damage on the length that passes nearest the motor. A chafed hose can look perfect from one side and be half worn through on the other, so turn it as you inspect.

Route it the way it came off. It is worth photographing the run before you disturb it, because the original path keeps the hose clear of the things that destroy it, and a route that looks tidier often is not. If the old hose shows a wear mark, find what caused it and fix that too — otherwise the new hose is on the same clock.

Relieve pressure, seat both ends fully on their barbs, and check the quick-disconnects while you are there. If you are replacing this run because of age rather than damage, do the 7-1/2-inch and 36-inch lines at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Hose 3/8″ O.D. x 22″ (part# 32317) do?

It carries pressurised solution across the chassis between the pump circuit and the spray head — one of the mid-length runs rather than a short jumper between neighbouring fittings.

How do I know if my 22-inch solution hose needs replacing?

Turn it as you inspect. Look for a shiny flat worn along one side where it has rested on a bracket or the brush drive, a kink where it changes direction, or heat damage near the motor. A chafed hose can look perfect from one side and be half worn through on the other.
