High Temp Hose
I am routing the exhaust of a G-62 to a manifold on each side of the cowl of my Mig-3. I am using 5/8 i.d. high temp water heater hose with copper elbows. So far so good, but it gets pretty hot and I am thinking there must be a better way. I suppose I can can go to copper for a lot of it, but copper makes it more difficult. If I can find a 5/8 hose that will withstand 500 degrees (I know I must be dreaming) life will be so much easier. Got any ideas?

the red silicone hosing works just fine! I'm using the same stuff from copper elbows on my Ziroli jug,going on the second season with the same peices and they are still pliable and soft with no shrinking or hardening. I bought it at the Toledo show last year but can't remember who sells it.Maybe someone reading this thread can give a clue here.
I also used copper at first but found that if you use regular solder it will eventually come apart because the heat loosens it up unless you actually braze it together.

I used silver solder too and had problems with it that's why I brazed my elbows together.I will be in toledo in a week and a half and if I or you haven't figured it out by then I will get the distributors name from there for you and e-mail it to you.
