Where to got flex line for compressor

[sbarton]

I've got 3/4" out on my compressor and am running 3/4" pipe for most of my run.
Where can I get a 1.5 feet of 3/4" flex line to go from my compressor to my hard lines mounted on the wall?

Home Depot only has a 1/4" flex line.

Now that's a short answer!

Try a plumbing supply house and get a 3/4 " vibration isolation line. some people have different name for these things , but they are nice . Usually braided stainless.

Any place that makes up hydraulic hoses can make one for you with the proper ends to thread into both your pipe & compressor.

Where are you in N.J. Last week I got mine at Total supply in lakewood, they make up any hydraulic line while you wait. I had them make mine 3ft long with 3/4" npt male ends, $23.00.

McMaster Carr - www.mcmaster.com also has these available - search for multipurpose hose.

Funny thing!
TSC (tractor supply co.) did stock them in 3/4" X 18" but they don't show up on-line now. only 36" and longer. When I checked the 2009 catalog they don't show any 3/4" hydraulic hoses.

2008 catalog listed only the 3/4" x 24" Hydraulic hose with 1 wire.

If you have a local TSC it would be worth a check. I'd expect a 3/4" x 18" to be about $10.00 if they carry it.

H/F has 3/4 hydraulic hoses in various lengths. I think I saw a 24" 3/4 hydraulic line last week and it was less than twenty bucks.

Really? the HF near me only has hydraulic stuff up to 1/2"...

I had forgot about Surplus Center but was surfing the web and found them again here: http://www.surpluscenter.com/hydraulic.asp?UID=2009031714271081

Lots of hydraulic hoses and stuff.

Tractor dealership. They make whatever size hose I want and can get any fittings known to man. Fair prices too >>>.

This is the easy way, and it allows flexibility: Everyone says hydraulic hose, and that's what I use. Easy to get almost anywhere. BUT what I use when hooking everything together, is a union, like say in a natural gas line. Makes it so you're not fighting threads getting things together

Its a common thing at any hardware store
