I have a California Air Tools model 4610 dual tank compressor that was gifted to me when my neighbor passed away. Its a great little unit, nice and quiet, runs the air tools that I need, and is able to operate my lift table. I have a problem now with one of the little black plastic air lines that connect to the pressure switch, its cracked and leaking so the compressor never shuts off. I tried contacting CA Air tools cust service, and they directed me to Jacks Small Engine. But when I look at the parts diagram that they have on line, apparently those little air lines are not able to be ordered?!?!? Has anyone dealt with this issue before and have suggestions on how I can either get replacement hoses or is there a generic one that I can order off Amazon or something to replace these cheap plastic-y lines? I believe the lines I am looking for are the ones highlighted in the attachment.

It's very likely 1/4" od nylon tubing, very common. you could also upgrade to 1/4 OD copper . the push to connect fittings can probably be reused , or they could be replaced with off the shelf fittings. there's nothing that you need that has to come from California air

A piece of fuel injection nylon or even rubber hose would work.

That’s the type of parts that are typically not stocked individually, but come from bulk shop supplies. Sometimes the catalog would say “obtain locally’ in the distant past.

My local Ace sells the stuff by the foot. Fittings are in a different part of the store, just beware of threads, I had a metric socket head plug with US threads

Thanks all, I did find what I needed after I posted, the CA site lists it as an 8mm PTFE Black Tubing (10 feet long), Part 180421-10. So, I'll pick up something similar locally and it should be good.
