Anyone know of a supplier?

I found it on flexpvc.com but I don't want to have to buy 100' of each when I need may 15' of 1" and couple of feet of 1.5".

Its purely an aesthetic thing. Trying to keep all the plumbing gray. I don't mind buying 25' or maybe even 50' of each but 100' is just way to much.

Have you tried hot tub hose?

Home depot may have some in the electrical section?

You could always paint it.

the gray liquid tight electrical conduit? hmm I know the stuff we use in the data centers has a metallic core. but I think there is non metalic too. I wonder how "safe" that stuff is to use.

hot tub hose == spa flex? Yeah I have looked A lot online and at HD and Lowes. Everyone for the most part has white and black. A few online sources have gray but its always in 100' or 500' lengths.

Painting white is not really an option. I have tried that before. Something with the plasticisers in the flex pvc and the paint reacts and the paint always remains tacky. I let it sit for a month before giving up and chunking it (tried making black flex from white).

As paint? No. Well I’ve used it to water proof the bottom of a stand.

They make it in spray can. I have used it on the pvc pan liner(shower pan rubber) it holds, but comes off if you try. You may be ok with using it on stationary plumbing.

I say fjw give a customer some grey flexible pipe today... it had pvc connectors on it. It looked like the type hose you would use on a vacuume cleaner.
