Thanks

I think radiator hose should work. Silicone is better. Why don't you just order some? There is a group buy going on for silicone hose I think... do a search for "Silicone Hose group buy"

you can use pipe connectors from home depot or lowe's. they are rubber, 3" long (approx) and have a hose clamp on either side included. they come in many sizes, but i would recommend getting them i size smaller than it indicates. get the 1.5" instead of 2" as this indicates MINUMUM size.
