ARB compressor air hose

Thanks Muzbry - first time I've heard of Suzi coil. Never too old to learn something!

Those Suzi coils are really strong, Muz. In a dither one night and forgot to unhook them............must have stretched 30' before they broke. :-)

Rather have something like Derek's supplying for tyre use though.

Derek - what's the outside diameter? I need it fit into a particular space, thus the question. If it's a fair bit larger than the original it will not fit.

10mm OD and 5mm ID. The hose can be coiled by hand to what ever you want down to say 120mm if needed.

I have one of those... I also have the ARB hose, had to get rid of those curly things.

Sorry Derek
I hadn't thought of recommending you. I don't like the coily hoses and so must get rid of the one i have.

I replaced my orange/yellowy hose with Derek's hose - good gear.

It's definitely an ARB compressor (portable - but I've mounted it in rear of the Cruiser) and it definitely has what I call "curly" hose - it's horrible stuff that tends to tangle and is a PITA to stretch out around the back to try to reach the front wheels.
So I don't really want the same stuff again. Was after something I can buy in the length I want and just take the current fittings off and transfer them to the new hose.

Krooznalong,

It is interesting that we have the same compressor, with the straight orange high pressure line. I wonder if ARB changed from the curly to the straight line??

Anyone who sells compressors will have the line you need and as indicated before, ARB sell the hose and fittings complete.

Hope you get is sorted soon.

I think what he means as "curly" is in fact the orange hose that normally gets wound in a circle, thus making it look curly......and needs to be "uncurled" to go straight ..

Just like a garden hose, an air hose will need uncurling to go straight..

I call it "curly" because that's the natural state it wants to be in. No way would it lie straight unless it's stretched out.

It is interesting to do an image search of ARB compressors.
One does have the same type of "curled" hose that cheap compressor makers favour.
Having limited space would tend to steer towards the thinner tube stock.

Let us know what you end up doing.

Cheers,
Wayne & Sally.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I ended up getting some reinforced clear hose from Masters at $1.60 per meter and put the fittings from the buggered hose onto the new stuff. Problem solvered.

Krooznalong,

Thanks for taking the time to come back and say thank you and to let us know what you did to sort the problem.

Cheers,
Wayne & Sally.

I think you'll find that ARB have a different style of chuck than others, so an ordinary hose fitting won't connect to an ARB compressor..
