PCV valve & vacuum.

Good evening everyone,
I was poking around under the hood of the truck the other day and I've
noticed that the hose from the pcv valve to the carb is collapsing under the vacuum. I'm sure this isn't normal is it? I'm using a piece of heater hose at the moment, is there some other type of hose that I should be using? The pcv valve isn't very old and it still rattles away when shook. Any suggestions or comments?
Thanks in advance.

Just replace it with `PVC` rated hose and go from there


You are correct the hose should not colapse
