Last week I couldn't get a new hose 2" connected to a new mixing
elbow....tried everything suggested except a 'pipe
expander'.....solution turned out was to get a 'softer hose' and a 'heat
gun'....still not an easy job but now done....now, if it comes apart or
any other malfeasance, it won't be me doing the repair....that was my
first time and last time! The tradesmen that do this for a living are
not overpaid, in my opinion!
The hose I wanted initially but wasn't in stock (Shieldsflex II Marine
Exhaust Hose SAE J2006R2) ......that's what I successfully used today.
The hose I bought first was Bellowflex SAE J1527 Marine Exhaust Hose
Type A2.......way to stiff for my application.....better and more
expensive is not always the way to go....lesson learned.
