Hey gang, I'm setting up a DC with three 4" outlets with my machines in a 'U' around it.
I purchased this 4" clear flex hose, but am finding it to be quite the pain to work with.

It is quite stiff and difficult to expand, and snaps back to fully retracted as soon as released. My DC is on casters and the spring in the hoses is strong enough to drag it accross the floor.
I can secure the DC, but am having difficulty getting the hose to stay in the orientation that I want it in. It's also a struggle to make up connections.
Any ideas out there?
I'm thinking of borrowing a heat gun from work and attempting to put a permanent set into some sections of the hose. But the clear PVC is not that thick, and I'm concerned I'll melt it.
Thanks in advance for any good ideas.
