    Hello to all forum members.
    Due to the fact that my compressor hose is starting to crumble with age, I was faced with the choice of buying another one.
    But as it is now, there is everything to choose from, but also different prices ....
    I don't use the compressor professionally every once in a while. The compressor is of own production, it gives about 8 atmospheres.
    I would like to buy about 10 meters of cable, which would last for a while. So that after the winter it does not turn into a 'cat's tail' and after the first frost, it does not break like a match ... But I do not want to spend PLN 1000 either. !! Maybe you can suggest something optimal?
    Oh, and maybe not a spiral - just plain simple ...

    Get yourself a hose from an oxygen cylinder (gas welder).

    I had just one. A bit too stiff and bulky for me.

    I suggest a plain, armored PVC hose. Light, cheap, flexible. Among the disadvantages, it is not very resistant to mechanical damage and to some extent not resistant to UV radiation (unless something has changed in this matter).

    In the past, Castorama had ready-made, good-quality, forged rubber hoses. Or buy a spiral one it will be more expensive. How is it supposed to be good, of course.
    It can also be dedicated to pneumatics. So rubber covered with PVC.

    From what I heard, an ordinary flexible PVC wire, after one frost visit, there is already a 'cat's tail'. Hard and brittle ..
    I have 90 km to the nearest Castorama. I would prefer something from the Internet ... What kind of rubber do you mean?

    The one from Castorama was Semperit and German quick couplings.
    The materials themselves were expensive to buy than the shackled one.
    Now I see that the chained Yato costs about PLN 60.

    Hello . First of all, what you will be using the hose for (what will be connected to it). If a gun for blowing or inflating wheels, the diameter may be smaller, e.g. 8mm inside. However, if you want to connect a pneumatic wrench or something with a greater demand for air, the diameter inside is 10mm minimum. As for the hose itself, I recommend that you buy a rubber hose for fuel and oil in the automotive or agricultural industry. I have one myself and the pressure from the 10 atmospheres compressor does not impress it. For example

    Good, but will be a pain at work. If you found one with a smaller diameter, it would be OK. A few years back, I bought a 20-meter silicon casing, reinforced with an internal diameter of 6 mm (the purchase was "useful"), and for two full seasons I use it for the nailer (AN 902). The cross-section is sufficient, the hose is very flexible, it does not break even in frost. Maybe look for this type - but the price will not be low. But for many years.
    Although here you have something similar

    Silicone is probably the mold in which it is used.
    I have already written about this type of cable.

    I use a gas hose for PLN 2 per 1 meter.
    After a few years, I did not notice any flaws - but I have no idea how he behaves in the cold.

    All in all, this convinces me and the silicone one and the gas one ...

    I bought an oxygen hose at a bargain price. It's been working very well so far. Thanks to everyone for the hints and commitment.
