Re: 1750 GTV brake booster hose

>>I've just replaced a worn hose which runs from the brake booster to the
engine intake manifold on my 1750 GTV.  I used a generic hi-temp hose cut
to
fit.

What puzzles me is that in the workshop manual I have, it appears to say
something along the lines that this particular hose "incorporates a vacuum
control valve".  Now the original hose which I removed doesn't appear to be
anything special - just an average rubber hose.

I'm wondering if someone more experienced can tell me if this particular
hose does indeed include some sort of valve ?<<

The one-way valve isn't in the hose itself, but in the connector where it
attaches to the inlet manifold.
