A 1 mm ID shift changes flow and fitting bite. Treat it as a new request, not a courtesy upgrade.
Will the quoted rubber hose cartoon style actually interface with the existing equipment? Rubber Hose Sourcing treats that as a buyer and factory confirmation, not as a site-owned pass/fail stamp. The measured string is leftover catalogue wording for this industrial family.
Bulk length, crimped ends, reinforced braid, a protective sleeve or a cut-to-length assembly are different priced goods. Write the form before anyone talks about colour or cover texture.
Length, end fittings and the applicable SAE/ASTM standard decide compatibility rather than preference. A thread call-out that does not match the port is a different request.
Service temperature in °F or °C with the medium decides the tube family. A brochure snippet is that factory’s claim for a named grade.
If the inspector will run an SAE or ASTM method, name it. A family brochure is not a dimensional page.

psi the supplier must confirm must match the regulator or relief setting. Burst language without a working-pressure cell is incomplete.
FDA 21 CFR 177, NSF 61 or UL 94 statements apply only when the buyer named them and the file cites the quoted grade and lot.
Each reply keeps the factory name the buyer can audit. Rubber Hose Sourcing is not printed as the manufacturer.
Competitor part numbers are references only. A cross still has to be confirmed in writing on ID, psi, length and ends. Third-party hose brands are not this desk’s identity.
Photos and competitor numbers are starting points. Compatibility is confirmed after product, quantity, destination and sourcing requirements are reviewed with a named factory.
