      I need some hose for a water heater but as I’m making the fittings too I wondered what the cheapest heat resistant hose is.

      I want something about 22-32mm ish and inexpensive but should be able to take low pressure near boiling water (for a solar heater).  I was looking at car radiator hoses but they seem expensive, probably because they can take a lot of pressure and are usually pre-shaped.

      Has anyone any other ideas?  (As usual, google can’t find things when you don’t know what you are looking for ? )

        don’t know anything about hoses but this googled up, the only question is if it can take the heat

          Not sure what length you want, but how about this :- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Metre-Length-Rubber-Radiator/dp/B00UI59TOA/ – £9.65 for a metre of 25mm (delivered)

          Never trust an atom - they make up everything !

            I am not sure how much you need but I think what you are looking for is something like car heater hose and a Google search found this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/111034678782?chn=ps&adgroupid=33676502101&rlsatarget=pla-271646252788&abcId=893836&adtype=pla&merchantid=113583048&poi=&googleloc=1007050&device=c&campaignid=707291931&crdt=0

            I am NOT saying this is the best but it does come in longer lengths so you may find something suitable via that route.
