Can anyone tell me what this is called, and where to find it??

Guys,  can someone tell me what this hose is called and where to find it?  I need about 500 feet of it.  About 5 years ago I found a couple of 250 foot rolls of it, but now I cannot for the life of me find it again???  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  It's 1/4" ID and 1/2" OD.  I am in the process of gearing up for a HEAP of TIG welding so I need quite a lot..........will be running 6 torches quite a ways from the machines.  If anyone has a better suggestion for hose, please tell me, but I really like this stuff cause it's very light, pretty tough, and very flexible................and reasonably cheap.Thanks in Advance--Matt Attached Images6 Miller Big Blue 600 Air Paks2 Miller 400D6 Lincoln LN-25's4 Miller Xtreme 12VS2 Miller Dimension 812 4 Climax BW-3000Z bore welders Hypertherm 65 and 85Bug-O Track BugPair of Welpers

Reply:Dunno about shipping to Ghana, but for all my rubber and plastic needs I use Hannah Rubber Co. http://hannarubbercompany.com/Home_Page.phpThey can probably supply anything you need.  Local company for me and GREAT service.  Goodyear hose is listed here:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...trialHose.htmlpage 247500 foot spools.It appears the fittings need to be sourced separately.  Hannah may be able to supply these as well.  I have never purchased welding fittings through them, just hose.Western Ent.http://www.westernenterprises.com/en.../fit_inert.phpRogerOld, Tired, and GRUMPYSalesman will call, Batteries not included, Assembly is required, and FREE ADVICE IS WORTH EXACTLY WHAT YOU PAY FOR IT!Dial Arc 250HFThunderbolt 225 AC/DCAssorted A/O torches

Reply:you could get away with some barbed fittings and pulling an new oxy acetylene hose apart if that helps and you have some laying around.Vantage 500's LN-25's, VI-400's, cobramatics, Miller migs, synch 350 LX, Powcon inverters, XMT's, 250 Ton Acurrpress 12' brake, 1/4" 10' Atlantic shear,Koikie plasma table W/ esab plasmas. marvel & hyd-mech saws, pirrana & metal muncher punches.
