Pete, I failed to mention that the braided steel hose lines were 4" diameter. John

Dry pipe valve houses were on shore, and we fed to the docks with stainless steel braided hose lines manufactured by Nashville Rubber and Gasket, 1900 Elm Tree Drive, Nashville TN. 615-883-0030. They even provided grooved ends for us. I believe the lengths were 6 to 8 feet each, but that may be best determined by your maximum and minimum water elevations.

We need to install a hose connection on the floating dock. NFPA 303 allows flexible connections where approved by the AHJ. I am not sure that the Metraflex Connector will work for the 3-4 feet of tide variation. Does anyone have any suggestions?
