zardos Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I have something like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/30FT-10M-AUTO-RETRACTABLE-AIR-HOSE-REEL-30-FT-AIRLINE-3-8-FOR-GARAGE-BODY-SHOP-/231502755051?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35e6a3b4ebwhich is fairly bendable.My brother has a nice bendable corded air hose but don't know what it is.Or just look for something with a good bend radius like may be http://www.bearingboys.co.uk/S106550MY_10mm_OD_x_6_5mm_ID_Polyurethane_Anti-Spatter_Tube_50mtr__Yellow_-86441-p or http://www.hoseworld.com/acatalog/001a.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I had one of the Clarke rubber air hoses, lovely and flexible ..... but in a few years the rubber turned to a gooey mess and went pop in lots of places Bought this draper one to replace it http://www.bamfordtrading.com/products/38338-draper-38338-ah20m10-20m-airline-hose-(38)-10mm-inside-diameter.html large-ish bore for decent flow.

Cynic-al Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 How do you want to use it? Do you want a coil or on a reel or just a straight pipe. I just use the 3/8 braided transparent food grade pipe. Soft bendy and seems to last forever. Comes in a 30m roll and use it loose or fix it to the wall. Mimimum joints to leak, easy peasy!

landroversforever Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I've got a couple of the normal draper ones. They're lovely and flexible when warm, but are a pain when its cool and they go rather stiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
