Flamethrower hose material?

(1/3) > >>

Kastor Grimm:
Hello all, working on my gauntlets and am curious as to what material you guys use for the fuel hose. I will have two flamethrowers on the right gauntlet and am thinking running a coax cable from the rear of each to a splitter that I'll JBweld under the shoulder bell or under the backplate. Think this will work? Would under the shoulder or backplate work better? What do you guys use? Search function didn't help much so I'd appreciate any feedback, thanks!

Most people use braided PVC hose. Like this


And I don't know if you were planning on having a double sleeve flight suit, but if you do, just run the hose inside the top sleeve. If you don't have a double sleeve, either under the back plate or the shoulder plates would be fine.

I use the yellow stretchy medical tubing you can get from Lowe's.

Baelin Halon:
I used the braided steel lines like you use to connect washing machines to the plumbing.

Kastor Grimm:
Thanks for the quick responses! I like the look of the steel lines but I'm gonna have 2 so that might be too heavy. Gonna go with this: http://www.amazon.com/pressure-Braided-Tubing-Clear-Reinforced/dp/B0073B7JY4/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1335720142&sr=8-10  ...thanks again guys, very much appreciated!
