How long will this last?

[Mikey P]

Never seen a hose swivel like this...

 

[hogjowl]

Me either
Why?

 

[Jimmy L]

Crank up the PSI and find out

 

[JohnHawkP]

Is it dancing to music?

 

[sassyotto]

do you really want to find out?

 

[Mikey P]

Just came with my new rubber hose



That I absolutely tempure tantrum hate.

 

[Papa John]

If you tighten down some more it should stop swiveling

 

[Mikey P]

Nope, not that type..

 

[Old Coastie]

The chubby one looks like it might burst.

I’ve replaced my lead hose again today. I was using Goodyear Neptune. Replaced it with more Goodyear. 250’ cost me 518$.... I’m ordering the Cobbs stuff Monday morning. It blew out after my first job... no, wait, it blew 2 days ago, cut off the bad, had it recrimped, and blew again this morning..... ATM.... is there EVER an end to repairs? I’m getting the thermoplastic stuff. I’ll run 25’ of Neptune, then Cobbs...

The 25' of buffer hose connected to Cobb's hose is holding up good on my truck

 

[Mark Saiger]

That connector is similar to the Multi Sprayer brand inline sprayer for the spray wand to the Dema valve

Why do you run a buffer hose?

 

[BIG WOOD]

Why do you run a buffer hose?

Because the water inside the nylon hose got too hot and damaged it when it was hooked up directly to the tm. Larry and a couple other guys on here told me that a buffer hose was needed for the nylon braided hoses

It's probably not the hose, it's the crimping. Who ever is doing your crimping is not doing it right. I have rarely had problems with the goodyear hose.

 

[Ron K]

.... now everything Swivels!

 

[Lyman]

It will last about 500 hrs before starting to leak. Did you get that hose from tony?

Do you think there is any difference in the temperature inside that hose at the truckmount fitting and 10' further down the hose toward the house. I say NO. So how is that swivel hose going to prevent a bursting hose?

I have used Parker hose (fabric braid) for 30 years, and connect it directly to the truckmount with no type of leader hose whatsoever, and have NEVER blown the hose out at the truckmount.

I also use Neptune hose (GoodYear), with the same results. If you ask me, those bend restrictors at the fitting trap heat and cause premature problems.

We are using a 220,000 btu propane heater which can be scalding HOT.

Are you saying to drop the bend restrictors?

 

[BIG WOOD]

Because that was where it got damaged

 

[Bob Savage]

Are you saying to drop the bend restrictors?

I have, and do not have any problems without them.

 

[Hack Attack]

I run a fuel burner too

I've melted hose on the live reel but haven't had the hose go straight out of the TM..

no bend restricters on my setup
