Tips for Leachate Flex Transfer Hose?

Tips for Leachate Flex Transfer Hose?

(OP)
Any tips on hose type to use for an overhead gantry filling a tanker truck with leachate?  Gantry is fixed, so the last 6 feet or so needs to be flexible for the tanker to drive under.  Pipe feeding will be 4".

I got a quote on some composite chemical hose with SS wire spiral reinforcement, and they want $800 for a 6-foot section!

RE: Tips for Leachate Flex Transfer Hose?

Depending on the makeup and concentration of your leachate, there may not be a need to use any type of specialty piping, except flexibility.  This will obviously be in a place that is visible/accessable, so if there is deterioration, than it can be replaced.  Also, I am guessing there is some containment/drain of spillage, so it is not as if there should be a contamination issue.

I think that gives you options.  The only real drawback is likely to be increased maintenance, if the leachate is aggressive to the piping.
