We go to Kiowa for hose, bauer fittings and similar. Good service, helpful staff on sales phone, able to source something different - my latest was a hose assembly safe for concentrated sulphuric acid (for reducing slurry ammonia loss).

The current hose (less than 12 months old) is cracking where it hangs over the opening of the underground tank. We need to make it a bit more robust and permanent.

Kramp fittings are better than sparex in my experience.

If you are using flange joints for suction, make sure they have O-rings or are flat faced and possibly even use some silicone or caulk to get a decent seal. We had an adapter that squirted slurry from the joint when the vacuum was cut - The drivers were not impressed!
