Wicked thankyou again

just out of interest is your hose slightly smaller diameter or is the 3rd party hose i have bigger or what? cos the hose on there now (yours) is a good fit and is firm yet easy to pull out/fit in to the HP elbows...

just wondering...

its completely different stuff to all other hoseing available, most of the otehr stuff is the same. toms has a thicker wall meenign it will take higher pressures.....is all in the tech sheet that he is sending you

My fittings take 6mm hose which is standard stuff in the european air industry, rather than the american so called industry standard of 1/4" (6.35mm).
It's also important to make sure you push the hose right in passed the two seals, rather than one seal on the other fittings. If you're not sure about this, i can send you a data sheet.

As long as you've used them before you'll have no probs. The fittings are only made for 6mm hose, which actaully helps. As this way you cant use cheaper hose with my fittings, comprimising the pressure ratings.

It was posted wednesday first class, so you should have had it yesterday.
But saying that it'll probably arrive next wednesday, knowing the post office.
