Corrugated BCD hose replacement

Has anyone ever tried replacing a od, bad or dry rotted corrugated BCD hose with something purchased at Home Depot or Lowes?

I've been tinkering with an old wing that has a hole in the hose.
Thought Home Depot might have something but that stuff is probably too rigid and not supple enough.

Maybe someone here's already tried that?

Never tried it, but I'm curious to hear how it works out if you do.

If you can find something that is corrugated, I doube it will have a flat sealing surface and will leak by the elbow and inflator. You may be better off purchasing a replacement hose.

If you end up finding a flexible length of hose, it will probally kink when you try to bend it.

Northeast Scuba Supply used to sell BC corrugated hoses, various lengths. Look under their "old catalog" site, BC/Wing accessories.

I know that DR Express sells the corrugated hoses in different lengths as well.
