Proper hose for seacocks????

I was going to replace one of the sections of hose coming from the seacock for the AC on our 97 278 vista. when i took the hose with me to the boat store i was told that the white sanitation type hose that was on there was incorrect and that i need to have reinforced hose. Is this correct? both the seacock for the toilet and the seacock for the AC are using the same white hose.

What hose did Four Winns send out from the factory and what kind of ho=ose should be used?

I have A good 15+ft of 5/8 reinforced hose left after my ac install. How much u need? Its teleflex shields. The best you can buy for marine AC

If this white hose that is on their now is not intended for this application then i will most likely replace all of it. Which i would think would be at least 15'. I would have to do both AC and toilet intake hose.

EBay it then. Nearly half the cost of west marine. I got a 50ft roll for $65 shipped. Double braided rated for 200 psi and use 2 hose clamps on everything

Yup. West marine wants $3.15 a foot for shields 135. I got it for $1 a foot.
