[Alberg30] attaching exhaust hose

[chrishardy]

I ground my pipe a little at the tip and lubed the hose up with vasoline 
it went on hard but I got it on ok and used one of those expensive hose 
clamps.

I am replacing my pipe and flange too this spring does anyone see a 
reason why I couldnt use stainless pipe? It is available locally and I 
can weld the raw water return to it without a problem
