Filter press tubing sources?

[dcast99]

Just picked up a Leader 5 plate clear filter press. Where is everyone getting their suction and discharge hoses from? USPlastics sizes are all to small. The press takes 1"

Thanks

They have high temp silicone..do yourself a favor and pick up some ss camlocks for the hoses! Also, 1/2"ss tubing works great inside a piece of 1/2" tubing for a pickup tube depending on your set up.

I just checked them out. The largest they have is 3/4" ID. The press has 1" input and output ports.

I use 1" milk hose from Bascom's.

You're gonna' really like that clear press by the way.

The strangest thing I am finding is that Leader or Bascom are about 1/2 the price of any other source that I am finding. I guess I will get it from my Leader dealer. The press is suppose to come with 6 feet of it but didn't. I'm not going to beat the dealer up for it since he gave us the cart for free.

Thanks,

I'd stick with a local dealer, you'll be further ahead in the long run.
They'll always be there when you need em' most...can't say that about amazon or a big bucks store..
