Currently I'm using braided vynil tubing from nylon adapters on pvc pipe. I'd like to get something more pliable. Looking for 1/2" to 1" diameter.
 
Do you really need braided tubing? The braided stuff is incredibly unflexible and really isn’t needed for the water pressures that we see. Just regular vinyl tubing will be much more flexible and silicone tubing is extremely soft and flexible, but it can be expensive if you have more than just a short run.
 
Braided vinyl is much easier to work with if you insert the whole piece into a pot/bucket etc of very hot water (like coffee hot) for a few minutes, it will loose that spool bend memory and be much more pliable
