Hi,

I have Nortell setup and bought 8.3 mm high pressure hose calor seem expensive. Have a look at Hamilton Gas Products WWW.gasproducts.co.uk
5 metres cost me £6.50 ex vat. It was a while ago but they were the cheapest I could find at the time and the service is good.

Just checked and it hasn't gone up. Heres the link.

No Problem,

just check the diameter across the hose fitting on your torch give or take mine is about 9mm. So the 8.3 is fine just takes a bit of pressure to fit it on the torch. Take a look at these also. I use a cheap set of pincers to crimp them. Like the ones on the web page but I think mine are tile ones
