Need help finding 1" Food grade High Temp Hose

[cruelkix]

I've searched the internet and this forum all over and I can't seem to find a source for 1" ID Silicone hose for anything short of $15 a foot on McMaster.

Does anyone have any good sources? I know most peole use half inch but I started building my 55 gallon system and I wanted to up it to 1" piping all around.

Thanks for any help,
Craig

try Cole Parmer, they have a lot of tubing at any given time.

Thanks. I looked but I couldnt find anything that was 1" ID food grade high temp....

DO you think I could stretch 3/4" over a 1" barb? I guess it defeats the purpose of going 1" but I hate to spend $150 on tubing when I could spend $38 on 3/4"....

3/4" will work quite well. I actually fit 5/8" silicone over 1", so you should be fine!

Good to know. I don't mind spending $38 as an interim solution. I can always upgrade later.

Thanks!
