The nut on the hose to rupture device has a left hand thread, see the indent on the flats of the nut. So ts not a standard w20 right hand thread both ends.

Not sure that I understand, plain rubber pipe readily available in 8mm & 10mm but you can't replace those without the fitted ends, they are high pressure connections.

Why don't you want the anti-rupture pigtails?
As you have a Secumotion regulator I would have thought you would want them.

So what you are trying to do is replace the hoses with longer ones and use the existing anti-rupture valves.
Doesn't look like you can just buy the hoses as you found out. Only other option would be to buy some ferrules and a ferrule tool which will probably cost as much as the complete hoses.

I still think the nut between hose and rupture device will be a left hand thread. Generally all left hand thread nuts have a groove in between the flats on each "corner" to identify them as left hand thread. In your picture there is that mark so I assume, yes dangerous to assume, that they are left hand thread.
I have same on my van but its in storage so unable to physically check right now.
