I'm looking to pick up some large ID silicon hose for my liquid transfers via pump. The plan is to get a hose with a large enough ID to fit over 1/2 MPT fittings (without having to restrict the flow with hose barbs).

I have got various specifications and prices back but most sell in a min of 5m/10m/20m rolls.  So if anyone else is looking for silicon hose and wants to split a roll, let me know.


Currently the best option is from tapflo.ie

15.87 mm id FDA certified braided silicone tube – Vena Technosil
Min 10 mtr coils
€ 165.00 per coil

Or if anyone who knows more about pumps (and if the larger hose will really matter) or silicon hose supply for less let me know  :)

I used Lab Unlimited before.
It's a little bit of hassle you need to set up an account but really only a few minutes.

They sell by the meter

Cheers Spud, might try some of the 12 mm from here and see if the flow rate is OK.

Edit
Baaa the delivery is €15 bit steep...

Not used them in a year but I got free delivery, €15 is steep all right.
I did state I was a brewery owner (never said what size  ;D) and set up business a/c, dont know if that makes any difference

Plenty of ebay sellers doing cheap shipping.  Got some last week.

This is where I get my silicon tubing and sheets:

I already ordered some 12mm ID hose from labunlimited. Should have it next week. I hope it will work with 1/2" copper. If you want to hang on a few days I'll confirm if it works out before you order. It's about €5 a metre.

Went with Schilder-Silicon in the end from Will_D ebay link. Sorted !
