Doug,
Originality is NOT my field of expertise but at least in the UK the standard
fit is 2 bits of rigid steel pipe with rubber hose (looks a lot like brake
hose) joining the two.  It is possible to use one single long run of plastic
pipe with a union at each end or a full run of stainless steel braided hose.
