Air hose?

Hola Amigos.

I just had a buddy's ARB air hose blow out on them on the trail; second time they've used it. Best guess says they failed to ensure the protective black boot was secure at the end and when things heated up, it melted right at the fitting. But who knows.

In any event, that got me thinking... easy mistake to make and/or the ARB just sucks. What do ya'll use that might be considered an upgrade to the ARB?

Thanks!

 

I've been using these and they have worked very well especially for the orice.

 

Had the same thing happen to me today as well. Not an ARB hose but a hose rated to 250psi and it blew off at the crimp. I think things just get too hot at the couplers.

The solution I'm going to go with is an air tank set up fed by a hard connection from the ARB twin.

 

Thanks Gents.

 

A tank is ideal but you must route a temp rated line to the tank like this and make sure it will not burn into anything. Possibly a line 6" to 1' similar to this before the rubber air line would be the cheep Finnlander way and also be cautious of placement.
