Air hose

[caleath]

Anyone have a suggestion for air hoses? I can't stand those yellow coil up hoses. I have an onboard compressor and I carry CO2.

The red rubber GoodYear style hoses that come on Coxreel and Reelcraft hose reels are very nice, but you’ll need to coil them like a garden hose.

You could try Flexzilla, they roll up a little tighter.

For exterior air lines exposed to the environment I've had good luck with Polyurethane air hoses. Originally I used rubber hose and it failed after about 5 years.

For air hoses carried coiled up inside the truck I like Flexizilla since it is fairly lightweight, flexible, and easy to roll up.

Is this for just inflating tires? I made my own inflation / deflation lines using 6mm tubing and 6mm / 1/4NPT push connectors off ebay. Extremely compact!

*edit*

If you search "6mm pneumatic tubing" and "6mm 1/4 npt push," you'll find them. But, they look like this:





That was version 2.0 of my quadruple tire inflator / deflator. I'm on V3 now, but it's in my truck at Ford.

I ordered a 25 and a 50 flexzilla. Should be here Friday. Thanks for the suggestions.
