Kud,

There are garden hose or plumbing fittings that turn cut up hose lengths into short hoses. You need to use good quality hose that is reinforced to handle strong pressure. If you need, I can point in the right direction to find them. Use short pieces of pvc pipe as sleeving to keep the sun off the press. Mastic paint also does the job but requires some maintenance after awhile. Pressure is not related to heat pressure, but material expansion and contraction resulting in cracking does. UV rays also will deteriorate pvc pipe but it takes along time and the sleeve will be under pressure. The pvc sleeve can also be painted. JMHO Aloha
