Scat Hose

[Keith W]

Hi everybody, need to replace the air intake hoses that run from the filter up to the carbies,what should I use and what shouldn't i use and where can I buy it thanks Keith.

You need SCAT hose not SCET. The SCET has an inner liner covering the spiral wire...it can get sucked in at full throttle and can block off airflow.

 

SCAT hose can be ordered at you local GA maintenance org.....or you might try B Floods they may have some......Maj....

Skyshop (Aircraft Spruce agents in Australia) sell SCAT and SCEET (as the aircraft industry with the exception of one L2 knows it), and SCAT is the one to get.

And you need to measure your connections because SCAT hose comes in different diameter sizes. The general terminology is to label it in 1/4 inch diameter increments. On Jabs the NACA duct and hot air mixer box connector sizes is (from memory) 2 1/4 inch diameter ie: 9 x 1/4 inch. Thus the common terminology for that tubing is SCAT 9.

If you are talking about a Gazelle, neither SCAT nor SCEET are permissible. See attached

The manufacturer of Aeroduct hoses, Thermoid

 

HRD Industries, does not approve SCEET

 

and SCAT hoses for use in negative pressure

 

applications.

If Gympie Aircraft Maintenance are still in business, they should be able to help you.

Airquip used to sell it, now a wholesaler in Oakleigh (Melbourne) sells it. I paid $170 for a length of 2 1/4" that was 10ft I believe. I can look up the receipt if you like. I tried NZ hoses but they wanted $ 344 for 10ft......I'd try Skyshop first....
