The best hose for an l5 is one that wraps around it and strangles the ruddy cutting out piece of rap.

You can get red hose used for hot water off ebay, costs about 1.50 per mtr.
Been using it myself for the last year with no problems.
Cheers.

GO TO B AN Q AND GET SOME RED HOSE FOR WASHING MACHINES, (oops caps lock off) cut one end off and heat it up and then put a metal hozelock on it, the other end will screw onto your L5, thats how ive done mine after my normal yellow hose sprung a leek on the first day

look at tool station or screw fix. they sell flexible tap connectors (rubber tube with metal ourter) Goes straight from the l5 to hose and can go upto 70 c without a problem. from £1.84- £4.14 depending on size
