My first thought is to buy welders red and green hose and just split it down the middle.
Just make sure it is labeled "Type T".
Propane gas will corrode the inside of regular welders hose and cause it to get gummy on the inside which will then glue up the inside of your torch and then you will have to send it in to the manufacturer to get it cleaned.
Also remember to change welders hose every 10 years because it deteriorates just from getting old and can crack and then leak.

My second thought is to get Bar-B-Que hose.
You may have to visit a Bar-B-Que dealer but the big box hardware stores might have the length you need.
They are already designed to handle propane and you can get them with a 5 psi regulator which works good with the smaller torches.

Then you only a short welders hose for oxygen for an oxygen concentrator and you can just leave the "red hose" attached and un-used.
