high flow airlines

[aaran]

Anyone know where i can get high flow airlines from? (not the fittings but the airline itself) was looking for pref 3/8 id hose, i have some 1/4 draper hose but its a waste of time putting high flow fittings on them as the ends of the lines where the fittings screw into them have tiny holes (about 5mm dia at the most)

will just reduce the 3/8 to a 1/4 to go on the devilbiss gun

Cheers

SIP do 3/8 (actually 10mm) hose in the Professional Air Hose range, I have all my hoses with it and find it very good.

What CFM are you delivering? an 8mm hose will give you 43cfm FAD.

about 35cfm FAD

just seems strange that an 8mm ID hose would have a crappy 2/3mm dia hole in each end which will create quite a pressure drop ?

Not really. Venturi effect, speed up and slow down of air through a narrowing applies. Net effect is the small holes make naff all difference.
