While the purpose of this hose has not been revealed, it greatly resembles a "relief" tube used by Air Force pilots. It is a piece of ordinary plastic tubing that was dyed yellow for Ghostbusters and left clear for the khaki uniforms in Ghostbusters II (the hose is not present on the dark grey uniforms). On the cover of the 2009 video game, the hoses appear green (despite still being yellow in the game itself).
The hose connects to a valve stem oil seal (secured with a black strap lock in GB1) sewn onto the left leg of the flight suit, and the other end is tucked or coiled behind the belt. Although the length of the hose should be determined by the height of the person wearing it, the hoses used in the films appear to be around 3.5-5 ft. long.
Note the position of the hose connector in relation to the bottom zipper and left lap pocket of the flight suit.

As described above, the hose simply tucks behind the belt, going nowhere... |
