Hane you got micobore or standard bore hose

what do you mean all i know is its yellow, quite thin and it looks like the tricoflex... pic that is..

[RPCCS]

 I mean what is the diameter of the pipe, mirobore is about 6-8 mm, standard hose ie garden hose type is more

[paul hughes31]

i dont know, the hose on it has         streamline lite - 5          written on it..

[RPCCS]

If you measure the diameter of the pipe if its the  small bore you may get some from a  motor factors but it will be on a roll about 30m, which will cost about £ 20-30 if its standard garden type hose , just go to your local diy/garden centre and buy a roll, or try Argos , this will cost about £15 upwards, until you know the width of the pipe, its difficult to offer any real help.The micro bore on my trolley is 10mm outside edge to o/o aperture being 8mm, the garden hose is 12mm o/o to o/o apeture 10mm

[paul hughes31]

its not standard garden, i think its 8mm like yours.... where is motor factor?

[RPCCS]

Your local car parts disrtibutor, take a short piece along with you and ask them if they have anything similar, ask for braided fuel hose, its clear but is practically the same stuff, take your existing hose with you though to make sure its same size. If they have'nt any ask them when they could get some for you or if they know of anywhere that stocks it.
 Any w/c supplier that does wfp equipment will stock it but unless you have one local to you,you are going to have to get it mail order,. unless of course you can get some from the motor factor.

pole hose doesnt need to be the heavy duty stuff, and it will be heavier. Why not just use clear silicone/ plasticy tubing. You will need an adaptor from whatever hose you are using to the smaller pole hose. Just get a tape measure and measure the internal diameter of the hose. Normally its 6mm or 8mm.
You can find it at your nearest focus or b&q. Im not sure what isle, but its near the tools somewhere on reels with loads of other stuff on reels like cable etc..
you cant use normal garden hose on a pole that would weigh too much. Find b&q or focus near you. Im sure they have it

I tried there myself when I was looking for more but couldn't get same bore or adapter to join them.

[paul hughes31]

i tried b&q no joy, does anyboy know anywhere else know where  i will get any micro or minibore?

[WCE]

If you want pole hose go to omnipole. They have the clear stuff at a good price and all the fittings you need. if we are talking pole hose then don't bother with micro/minibore. If that is what you are looking for then try Xline (James) Their stuff seems good!

[RPCCS]

Try your local car parts place you never know, I can put you in touch with a company who will supply you some but its mail order so you will have to ring them and order it

i need about 30 meters (i think) could you do it and how much?

[john tomkins]

i dont know, the hose on it has         streamline lite - 5          written on it..

Just got the Varitech brochure and streamline lite - 5 is in there (5mm inside bore).  96p per mtr or £25.75 for 30 mtrs....seems expensive when Gardiners sell the 6mm microbore for £13.20
