I wish to pipe the oil vapour exhaust from my newly purchased VP3400.

What diameter hose would you recommend to fit to the 'exhaust chimney'? Which hose material would be best?

Thank you.

When i used my old smaller vacuum pump in my electronics lab, i ran a hose down into a small bucket of coarse dry sand.

That traps the oil mist, and you avoid having to run the pipe outside ... Rolleyes the bucket was just left on the floor under the working table..
