Oxygen Tubing Tips outdoors

Spring is on its way…….Does anyone have any tips for protecting the many metres of oxygen tubing from the concentrator when outside working in the garden ? Of course it is much easier to garden with this equipment rather than carting the full 02 flask around on the back.

However muddy or dirty or damaged tubing isn’t going be helpful so some kind of sleeve to protect the tubing would be great. If you know of something do let me know please ?

TIA.

Pauline

Maybe you could get a length of garden hose or similar and pass the oygen tubing through that.

Pool/hair noodles split to thread/clip round tube tightly but are flexible, soft and lightweight and can be washed easily.

I think you can get lengths of foam lagging to put round outside piping. Its usually split on one side to enable pushing over the copper pipes.

Buying a length of new garden house looks a reareally good idea. P

That sounds like a good idea and easier to manage than a length of hose pipe.
