Plumbing – How to create the own shower hose

plumbing

I want to make a flexible 3" hose for the shower. Can someone please tell me how I can go about making my own custom size shower hose? I'm looking to make a 3 inch hose with 1/2" female swivel ends.

This picture is very similar to what I want:

I'm open to using a material as shown in the picture, or braided steel or whatever material showers hoses use.

Currently I'm using quick connects and 3" polyethylene tubing for my project, but I need something more secure and professional looking.

Thanks for any replies!

1/2 inch pex female fittings with a piece of tube cut to length might work for your project. The ends push on and lock in place without tools other than a knife to cut the tubing.
