How about rubber/latex surgical tubing from a chemical or medical supply
house?  If none in your locale, consider McMaster-Carr in LA --
many varieties of tubing (www.mcmaster.com -- no minimum order).

The application (simply) has tubing running between a support boom, and a
processing head (gripper of sorts) that uses pneumatics.  The boom and head
are attached by a "universal-joint", and the head dangles freely.  Current
use of the tubing puts to much restriction in the mobility of the processing
head.

One idea I had was to use a coiled tube (something like a phone cord) but I
never found anything.  I need to run a total of 4 lines to the processing
head.

Thanks
