    Amazon. I’m not positive but the BT series may be what you want. It is food grade, not sure about the others.

    Tiger flex makes many different types of hoses for a number of different applications.

    Tiger flex is just a name brand of the broader search term of "flexible PVC pipe".

    You want to make sure you get food grade hose (tigerflex makes both food and industrial grade hose). Industrial grade hose can leach all kinds of unwanted things into your sap.

    I purchased a 50' length of 2" from Maple Expert Solutions. Did not compare the price with all the other suppliers though.

    call Eastern Crown in Vernon NY- 315-829-5311, they have spiralite hose used for dairy 3/4 inch up to 4 inch, i believe they supply hose to bascoms from what they have told me. great guys to deal with, they can get good deals on hot syrup hose too (transflow milk hose). i think the spiralite goes on to fittings a bit easier than tigerflex, but same style hose.
    also have had good luck at Runnings.
    7000 taps on vacuum, just trying to get a little better every year.

    Tigerflex BW (blue water) series is not food grade. WT and FT series are both food grade. Check out JM Ellsworth Co. They have a large selection of FDA approved hose, tubing and fittings.

    This is what I use https://www.easterncrowninc.com/pdf/milkhose.pdf The Spirolite hose
    You would need to call for the price.
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
