Probably somewhere like Pirtek. Any hydraulic / pneumatic hose supplier will probably be able to help.

They would work ok, but how durable are they?

the thing that worrie sme most is if it freezes and pops off then water is everywhere :(


This can also happen if using no ball valve as water could expand and burst hose. Just need to insualte it very well witha little box at that section i reckon

Surely if it freezes, then water wouldn't be flowing anyway? Or would it?
