Float overflow hose size

[Torchard]

Can someone please confirm the correct hose size for the float overflow barbs. BS38. Seems whatever I get is too large or two small. Many thanks for this relatively simple question. Rainy here blah. T.

Bump.

I do not have the size info, but most likely it is metric. For example 3.0 mm. Hose is commonly sold in imperial sizes, and 1/8" would be a little bit bigger, approx. 3.2 mm. That may be the cause of your problems.

Hi Torchard,
if you can't find the correct size hose try heating the next smallest size hose with a hot air gun and shoving it into place while it's still warm and floppy.
And be happy it's raining, rain runs away by itself.
Half the year us Prairie folks have to move our precipitation off the driveways and sidewalks with a shovel.

Thanks. Yes - I do have some wee small motor hose which could be persuaded by way of your suggestion. My best to the flatlands.
