>From the home builders friend; McMaster Carr.  'Silicon coolant
hose'
page 196 on-line catalog.  Good to 350F, and the 1 1/2" is good to
op
pressure of 125 psi.  3' minimum.  They also have the silicon heater
hose is sizes up to 1 1/4" which has lowere pressure rating

What size do you need.  I have a couple of feet of 1 1/2".  Could
sell
1 foot.

Thanks Al,
A foot probably won't help me much, though I'm not yet sure of the
lengths I
need yet.  Is the stuff fairly flexible ?
Steve

The Silicon coolant hose has 3 plys of polyester embedded in the wall,
and I would describe    it as 'fairly stiff'' rather than 'fairly
flexible'.  For sizes of 1 1/4" or smaller you can use the silicon
heater hose which has just one ply of nylon and is pretty flexible.
