I need to replace my air vent heater hose and I'm not sure of the actual part name or number that I actually need. I've come across several different hose parts for the A/C and Heater:

-Fresh Air Intake Box Hose
-Flexible Snorkel Hose for Jeep
- Heater Defrost Hose
- Jeep Fresh Air Hose for Air Box

The hose I need to replace is an accordion style hose that's 3" to 5" in diameter and I've been trying to find a parts list for A/C and heater parts or to find a diagram I could use but haven't found what I've been looking (or should be looking) for.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi,

Is it possible for you to take a pic of the one you have and upload it for me to see? Just so I understand, it goes from a 3" diameter to a 5" diameter. Is that correct?

As far as replacing it, you should be able to simply find any heater duct and cut it to fit. The diameter is what I'm questioning. Is the hose round or oval?

Let me know.
