silicone heater hose source

[suckerpunched]

does anyone have a source where I can buy a 3/4 silicone hose with a molded 90 on one end and at least 18" long on one leg of the hose.
I bought the kit from Wildhorses and it is good, but I want to slightly relocate my heater valve and do not want to buy another kit to get the hose I want.

I thought we used 5/8" heater hose?
Might want to check the diameter before searching for the wrong hose.

yes could be, thanks. ever since I started wearing glasses, everything looks bigger than it really is.

Wait- that’s rubber.

This one has double 90s, but cost the same as the WH kit. So no help there.

thats probably what I am going to run into. buying 1 hose cost the as much as the whole kit.

Don't forget with Silicon hoses you should be using banded hose clamps, not standard clamps. Standard clamps cut into the outer silicon jacket, banded clamps have extra material to prevent that. Yeah another expense to doing it right...
