  |

Hi,
One of the Plumbers I work with has a reddish colour soft rubber hose, it's great for draining down systems, slips onto drain offs real easy and syphoning.
It never kinks, it rolls up really easily it's just really useful, much better than garden hose.
All he can tell us about it is that the guy that gave him it worked for British Gas and they all use it. I've been looking at hoses when ever I see them sold and haven't been able to find this hose.
Anyone any ideas where or have you got some?

Don't laugh but don't they use it for medical use? Is this the sort of thing?

They use red hose for colonic irrigation!

Hmm,
The pervs are coming out the wood work. It's quite scary 
The hose isn't dual skin (not that I remember) but like Bunsen Burner hoses, but it's standard bore (12mm) not skinny like Colonic Irrigation hose (I know I service one) but that's another thread
