    Pneumatic hose

    I'm tired of buying pneumatic hose from paintball sites and am looking at this from Amazon. Does anybody have an opinion on it?

    I would ask about the ID before buying it. It might not fit on the barbs you have. It's also nylon instead of polyurethane, which is interesting. I think that nylon would be stiffer, hence the higher burst pressure, so it might be harder to make tight turns.

    I've never used nylon hose before, so this is all guessing. But it could be interesting to try. And there are cheaper options for less feet if you just want to test it out.

      Palmers hose is the tightest I have found. Difficult to get on and off, but has held 300 psi plus

        Don't use nylon. You'll want Polyurethane.

        You can buy a very large roll of it here:

        You'll probably never run out. πŸ˜€

        That stuff is rated quite high and is a pita to put on, but works quite well.

        Also, if you want to split a roll, I'll take half.

          Yup, have a lot of hose from my mech sp1 build. Thinking red and yellow weren’t the best colours to have bought, oh well.

          Nice! For some reason I don't get the free shipping option.

          I was wrong, no free shipping for me either.
