Default molded hose

Is there a source for a molded rubber hose. I am looking for 1/2" ID rubber type hose with a formed 90 on one end and 55" of straight hose. Is there a location that can provide this type of hose without doing a 1000piece minimum order???

I checked the local auto parts store to see what maybe close but the typical hose is 5/8 or 3/4" in something similar.

Thanks,
Rick

You could get the 90* bend and use a splice for the length.

for 1/2 ID, why not use braided stainless hose, with a 90 end fitting? Can get a large radius 90 if you need it larger.

I have looked .... I dont think there is a source ... I have gone to Napa or local Auto store and they let me just go in the back and look thru hoses ... As said the 90* is easy but then 55" ? Bet that would be tough .... Like the braided SS hose Russell Makes a Black Braided hose that is real nice... $$$ though ...
Or go to your local Hydraulic Supplier and you can get 1/2" hose with brass or SS push on Fittings .... Summit or Jegs also ....good Luck .....m

Thanks for the thoughts guys. The stainless hose/fittings would work for sure. It is a little high $$$ for the what it is needed for.

Rick,

Call Geib industries in Franklin Park. They are an Aeroquip dlr, but also sell other Aeroquip fittings for much less. I used all nickel and brass fittings with push lock hose to plumb my boat.
They will have whatever you need and sell any kind of hose you would ever need by the foot.

Great suggestion. For the budget boater, try using the external spring hose forming accessory.

If you found it in 5/8 or 3/4, why not bushing down or change the fittings to accomidate?
