Stainless Steel Hose

Post by billd220 »

Where do you get such a thing? I tried building a pvc manifold system with lots of holes in it...It didn't work that great and I took it apart. I'm not sure where you get the stainless steel braided hose that you all talk about?

These screens are actually designed as re-enforcement for plastic hoses in the plumbing department. They are flexi-lines for sinks/ toilets/ washers. However, not all are made equal so be selective when choosing a hose. Cut the ends off and remove the non-stainless part. Crimp one end and clamp the other over your fitting. I ran a copper wire though mine to ensure that it stays where I want it.

Make sure it's stainless steel and not plastic that only looks like metal.
