I am swapping a 20gal tank from my 14gal unit, which requires a slightly longer discharge line.

Since it needs to bend/flexible, can I get by with reinforced/braided vinyl (plasticized polyvinyl chloride) rated for 125psi? (1" ID with 1-3/8" OD)

My thought was to replace the single hose clamp setup at the same time and use slightly longer 1" barb-MPT (brass) fittings so I can use a double hose clamp setup. I see several setups that appear to use the same thing.

I am working with a 1/2hp convertible jet-pump and 30/50 pressure settings.

NOTE: The plumber who installed my pump/tank setup has retired (and I would NEVER call him back if he was still in biz) and I need to DIY it.

Yeah, its only going to be another 4" of distance from the discharge on the pump to the Tee for the tank/main line to the house.
