Pearson Hydraulics.
They don't do online shopping.
It's a couple if quid a metre.
Just standard braided hose, good quality.
I use black (as my van's black)
But it comes in black, red or blue.
Blue doesn't seem as good-though they assure me it's exactly the same...

Ben I personally use 1/2 tricoflex as I don't have my water really hot.. I know a few peeps use the red washing machine hose that can stand hot water.

Tricoflex for me

The red washing line seems to pop off and really coils up

This is what I use Ben. You would need to use the brass hose locks with the hose tail on though as this will not fit on a standard hose lock

as ive posted before, i use boiler loop hose.
you can buy these form any B&Q type place and screw them together to make what lenght hose you want.
They never leak of have any problems, had mine for several years and they screw dirctly to the heater.
