Hose

[scotty plumber]

I have a 1/2" garden hose cut up about 4 times then re-joined with copper for draining/ syphoning etc and i have a cutting of 3/4" hose with a jubilee at the end to connect to my 1/2" hose for 3/4" drain offs, Do any of you guys carry a 3/4 hose? If so whereis the best place to get one?

machine mart do 30m of 3/4 for just over £30. you can probably get it cheaper though

b&q do 50m of 3/4 for £35

That looks a decent hose, do you own a 3/4 hose tamz?

And an inch one and an inch and quarter. Use them for different stuff tho.

There are 2 types of clear braided hose. One soft and one stiff. Make sure you get the soft one.

BTW you can buy it by the meter. About 1.70/m

Where can you buy it from the metre? I want a new hose that does not go out of shape when hot water travels through it

Mines is an old fire hose "robbed" from an old hydrant in a school that was getting chucked.

do you need to be fully paid up GSR to get one that doesn't go floppy from LIDL?
