Hi Does any one know where to get the proper plastic flexible hose for demister that joins the Y pieces and the demister nozzles.

I believe it's available from SNG, however, if not a sticker for originality look to vacuum cleaner repair shops. There are hoses of similar diameter that fit the bill for a fraction of the cost.

For one rebuild, I found a cleaner hose at my local tip when dumping rubbish!

Also try a Camper or Ship's chandlers if you've got one local. They sometimes stock tubes for heating distribution (although campers are usually a larger diameter).

Another possibility is CAT ducting, which is widely used in the aviation industry. More expensive than vacuum-cleaner hose, but it's really flexible and you'll never need to replace it again.
