Grain and Grape have this stuff as well.
$12 a metre.
I will get some of this to go from the kettle to the pump and from the chiller to the fermenter.

No affiliation.

I use garden hose connectors. Cheap as chips and work perfectly for me.

I originally intended to replace them with some nice stainless fittings (Pirtek or Enzed sell them). The hose connectors work so well it slipped right down the list of priorities though.

I have a brass male hose fitting on the kettle, to withstand the heat of the boil. I figured the rubber o-ring would melt and need replacing regularly but it's been fine. The hose is high temp food grade. I have a few assorted lengths and all have female connectors at each end. I also have a couple of male-male couplers so I can join hoses together if need be.

I'm still using the same $20 worth of Bunnings connectors across the whole system about 6 years on!

Thanks for the pics, looks good i'll probably do the same. I like the idea of being able to click connect everything.
