I can certainly go down to Home Depot and pick up some three-quarter inch vinyl hose for a few bucks, but what the heck is the point of buying a brand-new kit when the hose is the wrong length! BD claims to have sold "hundreds" this way! I just have a hard time believing that. I have an email out to Go Westy to have them check one of their kits. Something ain't right here!
