Tried hardware stores, plumbers fitting stores etc, no avail.
You have a brand name stamped on it by any chance?

Thanks

I will have a look at our brand tomorrow, and ask the irrigation guy at work
where he gets them from.
Just one thing though, there is possibly a cheaper version better suited to
the job. Much like the "normal" hoses, green with a yellow stripe, this is
the same, but a bigger diameter. The same sort of regular clip on fittings
are used on it too, only bigger. However, they still do clip on to a
standard tap. Unlike the white ones I mention, which have brass screw on
fitting, no clipping on, but they still will screw onto a standard tap.
The only problem we had with them, is while they were soft, they would go
rock hard with the pressure in them. Carts driving over them would cause the
casing to rupture, therfore creating big bulges, and eventually splitting.

But in a backyard situation they'd be fine, and cheaper.
