Foam, very long tube

[NT]

Hi

I need a tube of near 2 feet on some expanding foam. Any suggestions of what to use, how to attach and where to get it? I cant see any other way to do this job.

Thanks, NT

I think a better description would be helpful. What's it for? Is that 2 ft long or 2 ft diameter? What do you want to attatch it to? What's the job?

I'm guessing he needs to get expanding foam out of a can, along a 2 foot long tube (like they normally come with, but much longer) and into some hole somewhere 2 foot away/inside something.

Yes :) a 2' diameter tube woudnt be much use.

Bit of polythene hose slipped over the end of the supplied nozzle? Sort of stuff that my car parts shop sells - in a fetching green colour.

Yeah, thinking more about it that seems to be the only option. I'll add an unwound coathanger to control where it goes.

Thanks, NT

I'm interested in the 'polythene hose' for a completely different application (bee keeping). Is this different from garden hose ? I have need of polythene tube about 25 +mm external diameter in polythene, inside diameter is not relevent - because nothing will stick to it.

clear, single wall unreinforced plastic hose. I dont think it actually is polythene, but I dont know for sure.

Having gone round in circles, I discovered that the roll of blue water pipe I having in the 'dump' corner of the garden is MDPE - Medium Density Polythene. One of those "Doh!" moments.

A length of manometer tubing from a plumbers merchant? Just slide it over the end of the existing nozzle.
