Does anyone know where in the UK I can purchase 40mm corrugated hose and
40mm hose menders?

These must be genuine 40mm and not 1 ½ inches.

Thanks

sell the hose if you click on "Select" so should also sell the connectors
etc.
maybe a phone call will find out if it is genuine 40mm etc.

Here's a very professional-looking company that sells a LOT of different
kinds of hose and fittings, more than I would have believed existed- might be
worth a look.

Bob,

Thanks, but they are not metric and they believe that 1 1/2 " (38.1mm) is
the same as 40mm.

Without wishing to state the obvious, but presumably you need a
supplier who stocks spares for the manufacturer of the
original hoses, you're trying to match up.

Presumably all European manufacturers - not necessarily
pond related, but people like Bosch for instance will
use metric sizes for one.

I notice you specified "in the UK". So keeping with Usenet
tradition, I'll suggest that there are probably plenty of
suppliers based in Europe who could supply what you're looking
for. And the postage on hoses which are relatively light as
compared with say pumps and the like, shouldn't be too onerous.

The problem may be that in the UK, Hozelock and one or two other
UK manufacturers maybe have the market sown up. And so nobody is
interested in stocking precise metric sizes for which there is
no real demand. But that's only a guess.

That's helpful, wonder why they quote it in metric when it isn't metric
hose. Very frustrating.
Lots of water pumps including pond pumps come from the EU so there should be
a ready market for the true continental sizes.

Anyway these people say they stock connectors etc at 40mm, but if the above
firm muck about these people might too.

All these people also say they sell 40mm hose...
