I am going to make up a selection of hoses with quick connects to share one bottle of pure argon between a few welders and also want to make up some lines for purge cups and the sort.
Just wondered what everybody is using for gas hose?
I currently use the clear stuff with a braid in it which works fine (I have also used fuel hose on one welder and that also works fine) but I have problems with it being stiff in the cold and when it gets a kink in it then the kink tends to either stay there or the hose splits.
I am wondering if there is any better hose? Something like the CK worldwide ultraflex hoses fitted to the tig torches although I obviously won't need the current carry ability.
Especially for a trailing cup, I wanted something light and very flexible?
Also, any suggestions for small and light quick connects that could be used for trailing cups?
Cheers for any ideas!
