Phil we use 3/4" Rad. Hose with the brabed AN Fittings with Hose clamps.
Same thing with my PTE 1800 i have now and my Buddy's PTE3000.
Ill snap some pics for ya when i go by there...

Rad Hose is WAYYY cheaper then AN Hose and we havent had any problems with it.

This Is what i've seen alot of guys run, it' doesn't crimp under tight radius and you can see the fluids running through it.

from 1/4"-2"

I use something very similar to the above, except that its black and is used for pumping water around ponds, which means its pretty cheap also.

Only issue, is that your fittings must match the OD exactly, because it doesn't squash very well.
Its like this:

I also used 3/4 hose but mine is pushlock style. On along pull my inlet temps only get up to 65 degrees with ice in the tank.
