The 1 Metre (≈39.4\") option suits shorter runs, prototyping, or replacement sections. The 2 Metre (≈78.7\") option is more economical for longer installations or when you need to cut multiple sections from a single piece. If your run exceeds 2 metres, simply order multiple pieces and join them with a straight barb coupler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-cta\"\u003e\n    🛒 Select your size (ID × OD) and length above, then add to cart — ships from our US warehouse.\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HomeDIYer","offers":[{"title":"4x6mm \/ 1Metre","offer_id":52332906971410,"sku":"FXL1551-0","price":1.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4x6mm \/ 2Metre","offer_id":52332907004178,"sku":"FXL1551-1","price":1.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5x7mm \/ 1Metre","offer_id":52332907036946,"sku":"FXL1551-2","price":1.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5x7mm \/ 2Metre","offer_id":52332907069714,"sku":"FXL1551-3","price":2.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6x9mm \/ 1Metre","offer_id":52332907102482,"sku":"FXL1551-4","price":1.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6x9mm \/ 2Metre","offer_id":52332907135250,"sku":"FXL1551-5","price":3.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8x10mm \/ 1Metre","offer_id":52332907168018,"sku":"FXL1551-6","price":1.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8x10mm \/ 2Metre","offer_id":52332907200786,"sku":"FXL1551-7","price":3.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10x13mm \/ 1Metre","offer_id":52332907233554,"sku":"FXL1551-8","price":3.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10x13mm \/ 2Metre","offer_id":52332907266322,"sku":"FXL1551-9","price":5.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12x15mm \/ 1Metre","offer_id":52332907299090,"sku":"FXL1551-10","price":3.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12x15mm \/ 2Metre","offer_id":52332907331858,"sku":"FXL1551-11","price":6.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16x21mm \/ 1Metre","offer_id":52332907364626,"sku":"FXL1551-12","price":6.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16x21mm \/ 2Metre","offer_id":52332907397394,"sku":"FXL1551-13","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20x25mm \/ 1Metre","offer_id":52332907430162,"sku":"FXL1551-14","price":11.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20x25mm \/ 2Metre","offer_id":52332907462930,"sku":"FXL1551-15","price":21.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0884\/8936\/1682\/files\/Picture2of6_87605e21-5c8a-4076-b0be-ab462dbccdf4.jpg?v=1780987695","url":"https:\/\/homediyer.com\/de\/products\/clear-pvc-flexible-tube-oil-corrosion-resistant-hose-pipe","provider":"HomeDIYer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
