flyingbrick Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 those crimp connectors are available from Blackwood / most places that sell hose. use linesmans pliers to crip each side but by bit until tight. that's for the crimp bands that look like a chev logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I could imagine myself with more destroyed hands than I do with a standard hose clip on an air line, if I had those bowtie cruimp fittings. I like airlines with lush swaged ends liek this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsspeed Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 My replacement hose is like this http://www.amazon.com/Campbell-Hausfeld ... B000BOB9MS Tempted to just chop the fittings off, they are 1/4" NPT male fittings apparently, not internal thread like I wrote above.

I like airlines with lush swaged ends liek this I've always found them fine. much better than a sharp hose clip strip end and you only have to do it once and you don't need a million dollar crimp tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Also, can you recommend any guns? Firstly for say epoxy primer, and secondly for paint. I have had about 5 guns now and really rate the current one for a DIY gun of decent quality. It is a Wellmade gravity Fed gun(decent brand) gun valued at just over 200 retail. Get a 1.4 tip gun and itll basically spray everything you want with some playing. If buying two guns then a 2.0 tip would be good for filler/primer and epoxies/thick stuff. Ive never sprayed with any pro guns so cant really comment there however I was told not to buy second hand guns. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsspeed Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I am sure its construction is good but what brand is it, (self chuckle) They look reasonably priced too, $150 ish if my googling is correct, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 My replacement hose is like this http://www.amazon.com/Campbell-Hausfeld ... B000BOB9MSTempted to just chop the fittings off, they are 1/4" NPT male fittings apparently, not internal thread like I wrote above. Why not just buy the fittings to go on the ends? Not too badly priced. Or if you're running it as the line between compressor and air trap just connect it all up without fittings. Maybe I missed something though..

xsspeed Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Just was re spence's point of not using lots of quick release fitings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I would have thought even with quick connect fittings you could piss the air out an open end faster than a compressor could keep up. I will look into that though as it interests me. Would only affect the tools with highest air use as well I would have thought. edit: even with pretty good google-foo skills I couldn't find a simple answer so I give up TBH though, I wouldn't worry unless you actually find it an issue. I ran my sand blaster off 10 or 20m of hoses with quick connectors, then into water trap / pressure reg, then onto one of those cheap shitty coiled hoses which connects to the gun. It still worked fine, perhaps there would be room for more performance there, but I was getting the pressure the gun was rated for so i'm not sure how much it's actually affected. Happy to be educated though if someone has some facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKer Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 alot of overthinking here what was the question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 soooo something like this would be sweet for spraying? says its running an Ingersoll rand pump which someone up there ^^ said is a good brand? http://www.trademe.co.nz/business-farmi ... 889399.htm sorry I know NOTHING about this stuff, so may sound like an idiot/knob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKer Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 you could spray a car with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaMpylobacter Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 bawse. that's the same head as is o my petrol one. did like 10 years of never being turned off, perched in a little lean to in a dusty yard. had a re ring and head rebuild and did workshop duty at my old mans house for 5 or 6 years then the motor fucked out when it tipped over in the floods of '04. bodged a briggs on it and an unloader off a mercedes truck and it's lush.

Evan Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 so what your telling me is if it works, chuck a bid on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 yah. if the motor's fucked it might cost more than buying a good new compressor though. that's what my old man found when his shat out hah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
