Flexible hose for water pump.

[Neil2]

Does anyone know where I can get a short length of flexible hose that is 15mm or 5/8" internal diameter?

 

I know you can buy garden hose in this size but I only need a metre or so to fit a new Shurflo water pump.

 

Yes I know the pump fittings only require 1/2" minimum but the way mine is plumbed in it really needs a slightly wider bore to go over a 15mm rigid pipe.

 

I've drawn a blank with the local plumbers merchant.

 

The existing pipe (which is too short BTW) looks like it may be some sort of car radiator hose

 

Any ideas?

Aquarium shop or a industrial pipe fitting supply place.

Bodge & Quick/Gnome Bace and other DIY outlets sell it by cut lenght.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, - I tried B&Q but the branch I went to don't seem to stock that particular size, there are online industrial suppliers but as soon as I enter my postcode the carriage charges end up being more than the order value. However, the ebay link says free delivery, no catches, so that seems to have done the trick, thanks Ray.
