henward Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 trying to find ribbed hosing, so its easy to work with, flexible with out crimping and constricting flow. basically, i want what the fx5 hosing but slightly thicker diameter. also any ideas on how to connect it to pvs hosing? cos fx5 hosing as that rubber bit on the end but if you cut it in the middle, then its just the hard plasic ribbed material, which may not be the bestwhen it comes to sealing against the pvc piping material.

F15hguy Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 check out your pond supplies shops. they do a good black one that we use in our ponds which lasts around 5-10 years. most pet stores can get it in from Kongs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 burnsco marine they have a black bilge hose and a grey one thicker that the fx5 stuff though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 will bilge hose likely be food safe? I don't trust Burnsco staff to know.... black rubber might be that stuff I killed my CPDs with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 another option is electrical conduit pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
