Air Hose

[Randall Davis]

I need advise on a small diameter light weight air hose for my shop. Any brand names you would recommend?

Thanks,

[Dan Clark]

Flexeel. Lightweight and tough. I have 25' & 50' in 1/4" and 100' in 3/8".

Regards,

Dan.

How long?

For sections where you have pipe run to an area, and just need something like a blow off gun or brad nailer, either a coil hose (yellow 1/4") or a section of Goodyear, make your own from someplace like the blue borg.

For longer sections of lightweight hose, I've seen several people recommend, and only recently got to handle the poyurethane hose. I think it would be fine for nailers and such, but not as durable as rubber, in an automotive (chemicals, being driven over) environment.

Brands to me matter less, as burst ratings, material, and price. In fact HF started carrying it locally now, which shocked me.

I purchased Flexeel polyurethane 1/4" I.D. 200 psi a few months ago and it seems fine to me so far.

Randall,
I use the coiled air hose similar to what is used on tractor trailer rigs that supplies air to the trailer. Not sure what pressure the hose I have will hold but it is light weight and self storing to some extend.

Flexeel. Excellent hose. I bought mine from Coastal Tool, but there are several sources.

Thanks,
Randall, I bought a HF 1/4" 100' hose a couple of weeks ago, the rubber type with a 200 lb. busting strength. It is/ has been working fine for me
and is cheaper than the Goodyear hose that they also sell at HF. You might like it.
