I bought a new air hose to use from my water trap to my gun. AC Brooklyn. €40. 1/4 inch Euro fittings with a 3/8 diameter hose. Quick disconnect on one end.
Very odd doesn't provide as much pressure as the old 1/4 hose ( from Aldi) of the same length. I see big pressure drops once the trigger is pulled. Say from 50 to 20 PSI Drops to 30 and then slowly keeps dropping down to 20.
1/ Is the extra volume is an issue? The hose from the compressor is 1/4 inch to the water trap so the line is starved earlier
2/Could it be crap fittings ( quick connect?) even though they are the same size and type as the Aldi hose
3/The hose is quite soft, softer than my rubber hose and a lot softer than the Aldi hose. Goes hard when under pressure. I am thinking that the hose is expanding and contracting giving me unstable pressure ?
Confused...
