Hi, Ive had a recent re-do to my setup that i posted about earlier on here, where I have tons of 1/2" and 3/8"s ID tubes and the air flow is not a problem at all.
A few months down the line, I'm starting to get fed up of how stiff the hose is, it's absolutely terrible to work with. I have a 1/2" going to an independent 1/2" filter/regulator and a 3/8"s from there going to a spray gun. I want more movement on my gun with less of the air line forcing against my grip (hope that makes sense)
1) My 3/8" from my regulator to my spray gun is only 3 meters, if i extend this, would it help my problem?
2) I use a typical braided PVC hose for the 3/8"s bit. What is the best hose to use for flexibility?
3) I was thinking of even using 10mm ID pond aquarium non-braided tube, as i won't be going anywhere above 50PSI on a spray line. This will surly increase flexibility, but it a good idea? Not sure, thats what the forums are for
4) what decent hose could i use for a die grinder/air drill? Haven't got these tools yet but I'm thinking of getting some real soon. When i say decent, again i mean a hose which has the least restricted movement.
Oh and by the way, when i say movement restrictions, yeah a whip hose can solve this to an extent but the whip's tail will still be pulling on the whip, and the whip itself needs to be the decent hose which i am after in the first place.
Thanks
