Hey guys!
What kind of air hoses do you use for your air compressors?
1) Material?
2) Internal Diameter?

*Do you think I should use a 1/4" or a 3/8" ID air hose for my TMAX Air compressor.
My air compressor has the following specs:
160 lpm - 5.65 cfm @ 0 psi
70 lpm - 2.47 CFM @ 30 PSI

1/4" is fine for the typical 12v compressor which doesn't have a CFM rating great enough to take advantage of much less require a 3/8" hose.
I use a 25' 1/4" Flexzilla air hose with my Viair 400 series compressors:

I’ve been using my viair hoses. I know you run Viair also, why’d you add the flexzilla?
Because I hate those damn yellow plastic coily things.
The Flexzilla hose stretches farther more easily and is more convenient to store as well. It can be repaired in the field.
I'm surprised you don't drive a horse and buggy with as anti-progress and technology you are.
Ever accidentally melt a hole one of those damn yellow plastic coily things?
Actually, the word I was thinking of was f*****g.

And who says I'm anti technology?
I bought a new abacus just yesterday.

No, but I have melted several holes in good air hoses. I despise coily hoses with a passion. I cannot think of a worse iteration to degrade the functionality of a simple product.
No coils, just a charging cable different from all my other charging cables. And what I'm sure is a welcome to the modern world in what appears to be Chinese.
8 tracks? Are you crazy? 7 inch reel to reel, baby!
Now where did I put that old wire recorder?

You guys must be young.
Everybody knows that Earl Madman Muntz's 4-tracks are the way to go.
My wire recorder is carefully packed in a box in the garage, still in working condition. My dad used it in his dental practice in the late 1940's and early 1950's.
And in case you think he was adverse to modern technology, this TV was in our living room. It still works too.

I can say, I don’t remember much of the 80’s and it wasn’t because of drugs
I picked up some small pieces of hose from HF for my OBA setup. IIRC its 3/8" diameter and uses 1/4" NPT fittings. 300psi and I want to say 200° temp rating. I installed it last October and have been curious to see how long it will last after hot wheeling trips. So far its worked ok.
Plastic coily airhoses make me want to slap a baby. They're awful.
Does it have Netflix?
