Anyone used the silicon hose water jet adaptor?

Has anyone used the water jet adpators for silicon hoses? Aquamist Part numbers 806 385 or 806 386.

I'm gong to be installing in the next couple weeks. Was planning on using one of the above adapters and installing the jet in my samco hose just after the middle upper hard pipe. Just wondering:

A. what size did you use for your hose (was it samco or stock)
B. any boost leak problems with the adaptors?

A while ago when I asked Samco about the hose sizes they responded with

"The hose with the black lining has a wall of 4.87mm and the blue one 5.12mm"

This thread has some details on the fittings:

Important factors to prevent leaks are the proper adapter size and making sure to make a round hole in the hose........make sure to use a drill press with a chuck thats not worn out. You want the hole to be O and not 0.

If you look at the image you will see that the underside of the adapter is larger then the top side = under boost its too large to be forced out.

The only issue that I can think of is if used with a thin wall stocker soft pipe, the pipe may expand and the hole will enlarge (this is why Samco hoses are used in the first place, right)........but I boost leak checked the stock hose I did in above linked thread and there were no problems at 30psi.

for air cooling you want the injecting as far upstream as you can get it.

So, I measure the hose over the weekend and it seems to match up with what samco stated, blue lined hose measure just over 5mm so I assume I would use the 5mm adapter correct?

I would use the 806-386 (6mm) if the hose is over 5mm.

You would have to have both in your hand to actually see why. With it too small it will not be fully pulled through and therefore seated.
