We want something more substantial in terms of heat resistance from boiler to reel.

Can you please post pictures or links and info on what you use.

Many thanks

Lee

Gets very supple, but there it just sits there and does nothing, as its just a feed ppe.

Had it red hot from LPG heater on one reel.

Alex did source a barbed hozelock connector once so that the fatter radiator hoses could be jubilee clipped on. The car hoses tend to have thick walls and a bigger outside diameter.

actually, remembering now, it did expand a bit, and the hozelocks were a pig to get on.

I suck through my heater so I have cold washing machine pipe from filter to heater, then braded hose from heater to pump and radiator hose to reel.

The washing machine and braded hose are great because they have the threaded fittings already on to connect to the heater.

These are the hozelocks I use, just warm the rad hose and it pushed on no problems.

Everything from my static ro system to my van is fitted out with that sort of pipe!
