HVLP Whip Hose - Recommendations?

[Allan Speers]

I'm looking to add a whip hose to my 4-stage HVLP turbine system. (A Capspray 95)

I'm wondering 2 things: What length is considered best for my use, and are plastic connectors a bad idea?
I'll be spraying everything from laquer to 2-part Eastwood enamels.
I'm only 5' 8" tall, if that makes a difference.
---------------

I'll stick with known brands, as I've read bad things about some of the cheaper imported stuff. (I know, everything is imported these days...)
So basically: Graco super-flex 4', Capspray 4' or 5', and the Fuji 6'.

I've read that with a 2 qt remote pot, a 6' whip hose is better, but I doubt I'll ever get a 2 qt pot.
I'll just be using a 1 qt siphon cup, with an HVCLP adapter.

I still like the idea of 6', but that Fuji uses plastic connectors, and I'm worried that they might crack is dropped, etc.

The other options all appear to have brass connectors.

So.. any recommendation, or favorite model?


thx.
