hpfiend Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hey all, Anyone know who has the crimper required to make up custom air lines? NAPA wants a fortune to make up hydraulic lines for the same purpose. I need a 10.5' hose and a 3' hose to set up my garage air supply- both 3/8" with npt threaded ends. Thanks, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 But then he states hydraulic lines in the thread. See my confusion? He is wanting to use a hydraulic line connection for air lines. At least thats how I understood it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpfiend Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I would like rubber or silicone hose with crimped fittings that I can thread into quick connectors or my reel. Hydraulic lines meet these standards as you can get fittings with npt thread on them crimped on but those lines are too rich for my blood. This is for a 125 psi home air compressor only. Thanks!

Guest Removed Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 i had/ may still have a crimper for those line if you have all the fitting and crimps you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I pit mine in the hose and have hoes clamps holding them on. Its at my home and I run around 200psi. Thay have never blown apart. Try the compression fittings in the plumbing section. These are good for high pressure on some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpfiend Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Rob, at this point I have neither the hose nor the fittings...but thanks I willl let you know if i go that route. Wnaplay, are you talking about the brass barbed fittings with npt threads on the other end? 200 psi, really? hmmm... that IS a much cheaper option... compression fittings for which pvc? copper tubing? nylon tubing? Speaking of which has anyone ever thought of making an auxiliary tank out of schedule 40 pvc? The burst pressure is like 450-600 psi? I wonder if they have that capacity with glued fittings? Just thinking out loud here- if in a garage or attic the uv radiation shouldn't deteriorate it as badly as if it were outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Go get bulk hose, and get the hose ends. It can all be purchased from 272.2255 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
