Stan, I forgot to add, you need to be specific regarding the exact model number that you want. When I tried to order the US4/TX40 combo in South Africa, the first thing the local dealer did was try to convince me to buy more expensive model. In the end, I mail ordered them from the UK. While you are ordering, you might want to take the opportunity to get the "correct" length hoses.
