What's this hole / tube for?

I bought 17335323000 from DSS - it has no pinch drain but since only the upper part was perished I used only that (or some such memory anyway). No idea why there is a "valve" in it at all. Perhaps to keep the crap out as there is likely no pressure or even some suction...

That part Number Tom is the air inlet breather pipe, so no valve. Unless anyone can tell me why the other has a drain valve, I think I will just order that one from DSS and stick something in the bottom that I can release every now and then. I could always stick a pea up it I suppose ;D ;D ;D. Thinking about it, it must be suction actually, if you think of the direction the air flows around the system there must be some draw / vaccum up the tube, so if you go through a deep puddle, I wonder if water would get sucked in?
Regards
Julie

Does anyone know where else I can get this from?. Its Part No 17358-374-000. They still do the breather pipe from the bottom of the air inlet box which is handy as that's the one I'm missing completely.

measure the outlets and order Nitrile rubber smooth pipe ;)

Hi Trig
We use Nitrile rubber pipe at work but I've got a feeling what we use is a lot larger bore. Do you think it matters if it does not have the valve in the bottom ?

Oh OK. I remember wondering at the time because the nomenclature is ambiguous. Obviously I bought the wrong bit but... the pinch thing is separate and I reused the old one I had. It slips over the bottom of the tube, about 2cm long.
Not saying these were ever separate parts but hey, it's just a blind bit of tubing with a cut in the end. Perhaps something could be made...

Here is what i use> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140693835989?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&var=440044001332&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT But, make sure it is a tight fit. Most bikes have had the stopper thrown away yonks ago. These are only drain pipes.
