Spiral hose wrap

[perry]

I've been looking around the net for spiral hose wrap and WOW!, for something so simple it sure is expensive. Any of you guys use an alternative or know where I can pick up about 24' for a reasonable price?.

McMaster Carr has black ultraviolet resistant spiral hose wrap. http://www.mcmaster.com/ Just type in 788 in the search box and it will take you right to the page in the catalog you need. They have all different sizes and lengths and their shipping is cheap. For the size that wraps 3/4"-5" its $9.67 for 10 feet.

Thanks OM, I can more than live with that price, the others I looked at were 100' mininums for somewhere around $300.
Fish, you have no contact link?. Send me an email.

Got the spiral wrap from McMaster-Carr, recommended by Old Machinist and it works great, I figured 6' for each attachment and came up short about 20% or so. If you order figure 8' for each attachment.
