1/8" Id Airless Hose
Anyone else use them?
I run 25' at the end of my regular hoses, very lightweight, easily fits under doors etc. Tried to get the paint stores to carry them, every painter I show them to really seems to like them. Al |

Re: 1/8" Id Airless Hose
ya, but as a whip. There is a formula for pressure and hose guage, etc... i'll see if I can find it, 25' seems a little long. My whips are like... 2 feet.... heh

Re: 1/8" Id Airless Hose
I use a 30 foot 1/8 hose whip on my airless and love it. Remember to highly condtion the paint. Best used with FF tips 2 12.I usually run the pump at 1000 to 1200 psi.Reguardless of what people say this system works great.

Re: 1/8" Id Airless Hose
I have no problem spraying right out of the bucket. Latex flat and semi-gloss, all day long, I have run several hundred gallons through these hoses with only 1 problem, 1 hose did get clogged on my spraytec 2105, probably because that machine doesn't have a manifold filter.

Re: 1/8" Id Airless Hose
been using a 3' 1/8" whip for several years now on several pumps including: Graco 390, Titan 640, Titan 740, Graco 595.
They need to be replaced a little more often than the 1/4" whips but are totally worth it. Have never tried a longer whip, but my next purchase will probably include one. Places to find these whips: spraysystemsonline.com/site/marketplace/equipmentshowroom/airless/airlesshose/products/whiphose.html and tritechindustries.com/airless-hose.php Hope these resources help. |
