I am considering using some AN-hoses as a vacuum hose from the inlet manifold to remote brake servo. The hoses are rated 500 psi for oil and water, but will they work for cm vacuum? On seller said they will the other didn't want to speculate.
Any advice?
Reason for wanting to use the AN-hose is due to the braided cotton outer.

Its probably not something they are tested for to be honest, they may well be fine - but then again they may collapse - do you know what the internal strengthening structure is? Is it not possible to get the correct vacuum rated hose and add a braided cover?

The psi rating is for an outwards pressure and you want an inwards one. For want of a better phrase! Lol
What car is it for? It's such a common item now that surely there's a standard replacement?

You are not talking a massive or full vacuum.
Most hose (ie fuel hose) will be fine.

Atmospheric pressure is 15psi max so it has to be rated to at least that, the plastic pneumatic hose is fine, I've used it loads of times.
