I am working on a 76 Birch. Heater hoses have been replaced before and has 1/2 " heater hose going to & from the house water heater behind drivers seat. Is this correct? To replace all I`m thinkin 25' of 5/8 and 10' of 3/4 should be enough? Am I close?

Chuck,

Somewhere on Erf's site, there is a quantity on heater hose for a 26 footer. IIRC, I used almost all of a box (50') of 5/8" and about 6' of 3/4" for my 26 footer. Of course that included the water heater that s located above the left rear wheel well. I'm sure a Birch has different requirements.

Billy,
That is great bunch of information.Make sure no one will get to your site
and use it.
The hose length on a Birchhave/ Royal is shorter as the water heater is
closer to the engine and easy to measure.
Should this information pop up on another sit, I will hive a good idea
where it was pulled from.

When I was working, the theft of intellectual capital was always a problem. On almost everything I wrote or assembled from other peoples writings, I had to put a allowable use statement including who was allowed to use it, and how they could use it.

This applied even if the information or document was released into the public domain.

We had a major company that reverse engineered one of our products using a patented encoding technique. We sued and lost because someone in the company wrote a maintenance manual on the product and did not specify exactly who was able to use the document and what they could use it for.

Many things could be copied and redistributed by others as long as the original use statement and source information was included.
