Can someone please recommend a proper 25 foot rubber hose and what other fitting I need for this compressor. Thanks.

You'll need a 1/4" coupler to connect to 1/4" hose and accessories. Hoses come in several lengths and qualities depending on the type of job you're using this for. I use my compressor for blowing out dust from electronic equipment, airing up tires and other very minor jobs and an inexpensive plastic coil hose has worked fine. I also purchased a lower end 1/4" accessory kit, which came with the coupler for the same reasons.

buy 3/8 inch rubber hose with 1/4 inch MNPT ends and if you purchase the Campbell hausfeld MP2847 1/4 airtool accessory kit from amazon it will give you the quick disconnects you will need for the hose.

i just checked and it seems possibly the very hose i bought may have a suit against it. we bought a 25 footer that does its job around the house, then bought a 75 footer which has worked so far. i love the light weight aspect. now, x-hose is advertising theirs as the authentic one with 3/4" diameter - that one i want to get next. x-hose for sure advertises they are durable. we will baby ours and i hope it lasts!

I installed the main vacuum unit in a central location and the long hose reaches everywhere in my garage (32'x25'). The hose is like 15 feet long (sorry I cant go out and measure it, I'm laid up in a cast) Can someone answer how long the hose is?

I use a 1/4 inch hose with no issues. I have only used it for small projects but recovery is very fast so I would predict no issues with either.

I say to go with the 50ft purchase. I wish I would've purchased the 50ft initially bit the 25ft has worked out just fine. The Tuff-Guard brand has been the best hose we've purchased thus far. No kinks at all and it coils nicely unlike your traditional hose, which can be a pain to put-away neatly!

My compressor did not work, so I returned the whole kit, so I do not remember what the hose was. I bought a discounted set of 3 nailers with a larger compressor at Lowes as I did not have time to wait for a replacement. Actually ended up with a better deal.

Not sure George but when running at full pressure the hose is pretty stiff. This thing has plenty of power and would do a great job but not sure if the hose would handle that type of work. Maybe you should contact Simpson and see if they make a kit for that or can steer you in the right direction. Bob

This was a gift for my granddaughter and within a short time it quit working, but not within the warranty period. I had missed it by a couple of days. I don't know what kind of hose you will need. Sorry!

Very dicey. A quick trip to Harbor Freight will get you a heavier compressor for not a lot of money. (I have the http://www.harborfreight.com/10-gal-25-hp-125-psi-oil-lube-air-compressor-61490.html )

I would use a real flexible hose something from HD or Loews with a 1/4 in. Fitting that's all you need

I had the same issue at first. I bought a manifold set off of amazon that was sold as an FJC but it turned out to be a cheap knock off. The hoses were all for R-12 not R-134. The quick connects for the high and low pressure side were 12 to 134 adapters and the only can tap that would fit the yellow line was an old R-12. I sent the cheap gauge set back and purchased an Interdyne AC Pro set and it works perfect.

You will need a compressor. Make sure you get one designed for the Paasche because I didn't and my compressor works great, but I spent an entire day getting the fittings for the hoses. Each brand uses different size hoses and fittings at the ends.

i just purchased this machine late sept. read my posting on amazon dated oct 1st. (Wolffe )yes u r right about the attachments being not proper.anyways. i found that it i very easy to get a i inchunion from a old vacuum from a local vacuum store and attach the old extension hose. i have 16ft of hose now . hope this helps. specially when vacuuming thecar. sorry ia had no reason to read your post until now.

I used a regular 3in. rv sewer hose, from wal mart, camper world etc. although some Hardware store do have a 33 high pressure hose but they are hard to find

I use a 1/4 inch hose . I've also used it for light framing and never had a problem. Recovery time is excellent.

Hi, I have a 75', I would enter 100' Gilmore in your search and try again. I might suggest 2- 50', these hoses are heavy and then you could choose 100' or 50' depending on where you want water. It would probably cost a little more due to the extra hose fittings, but it could be more managable. I would hunt around on Amazon a little more, I'm sure there is 100', could be they are sold out right now.
