bellows hoses

[djshaw]

Hi Everyone,

I need new loop hoses. 12 inches, plus 1/2 inch cuff on each end. 1.5 inch inner diameter.

I was hoping to find a canadian seller so that I don't have to pay exorbitant shipping, taxes, or duties. I had been buying some parts directly from a Parker distributor, for instance. Is there an industrial manufacturer of bellows hoses that doesn't charge the scuba markup?

Maybe reach out to Mike Young at KISS and see if he has any suggestions.

More like Golem Gear, Inc. - CCR Hose - 22in. The hoses are rubber instead of plastic. A higher quality of construction compared to a BC inflator hose.

Maybe reach out to Mike Young at KISS and see if he has any suggestions.

I'll look him up, thanks

this is the company that manufactures the loop hoses
Closed Circuit Rebreather Scuba Hoses for Diving Industry – Crushproof® Tubing
They are US based and do not have a distribution model for sales. You're going to have to purchase from the US unfortunately. It is unlikely they will sell to you as an individual

Meg are a little shorter I think?
I forget which units use 38mm (1.5" cuffs) old Kiss units I think

I think Meg is 11" on the left and 13" on the right?
38mm is a weird size though, you usually see 39/40mm. 39/40mm is "standard" hose size though
