OmahaDZL, I did use those reducing elbows, and they worked very well. I had to cut most of the length from each end because they're very long elbows (about 5"), but everything fit well. I believe these elbows will last forever. They are reinforced silicone about 3/16 - 1/4" thick. I count 8 hose clamps - 2 on the 1" elbow ends, 2 on the 1/2" elbow ends, and 4 on the 1/2" hose ends. I used the Gates heat shrink hose clamps on the four braided 1/2" hose ends. They look great and cover the loose braided ends, preventing finger pricks.
Rolling Coal, your idea is fine as long as you can route the hoses steadily uphill and steadily downhill so you prevent P-traps.
