HPA Hose for Tethering Regulator. What Are You Using?

[Ezana4CE]

I’ve searched the threads and haven’t found much. I guess there are too many common keywords. So I thought I’d ask, what type of hose are you using to tether your gun to your inline regulator? What length? Pictures and links are appreciated.

Get a 4 footer from Air Tanks Plus. They are the most flexible and likely the safest on the market with a 27000 psi rating. They are really nice.

@thomasair Thank you. I did it backwards. I got a 6’ hose from them, but I’m curious as to what else is out there. This one won’t last forever.

Bestfittings, Krale, Huma comes to my mind as a first bet for microbore lines.
And you better make sure to last forever

@bigHUN Thanks. I’m hoping the ATP line lasts for years. I have a back up fill whip I purchased from them. It’s really good looking and feeling material, thick and supple feeling plastic. I also like their fittings, especially their 90 degree elbow fittings. I think they’re good to use connecting to guns to prevent crimping or kinking the line at the fill probe or male-female coupler junction. The quality of the fittings feel like they’re made of good steel.

Have you used a hose from Huma Air? If so, what sort of material are they using for their fill whip? Is it that hard plastic that you find on the fill whips that come with a lot of the box store SCBA tanks? They offer them for half the price of an ATP hose. I’m wondering how the quality compares. I like the quality of metal that Huma uses for their regs. Hopefully the plastic that they use for these hoses is comparable.

I got my reg from JoeB a few years back along with a 6 foot hose. Been using a 3 foot hose from tank to reg and the 6 foot one from reg to airgun.

I don't shoot tethered much, but use the reg primarily to make fills to the gun easier. Set the reg to max fill pressure between 200-250 bar and don't have to watch a gauge with muzzle pointed at my face while filling.

@ctshooter One of these? His prices seem comparable to ATP prices.

High Pressure Microbore Air Hose - TopGun-Airguns

40″ or 80″ in length with strain relief on both sides protect against kink. This is our best selling hose! Be sure to select the right configuration for your setup. ex: FQD x FQD will be female quick disconnects on both sides MQD = Male Quick Disconnect FQD = Female Quick Disconnect

What’s the quality of the hose material like? Does it feel like the stuff that comes with a PCP SCBA tank or different?

ATP makes great hoses, but if you’d like extra protection like from chaffing when using concrete benches, look at the double walled hoses made by Airhog. It’s a hose within a hose, with the outer protective hose in blue

No inline regulator here, i just shoot off the fill hose, which are a 5 - 6 foot one i got from Krale as the original FX and other 2 foot ones are useless in this regard.

Its just a regular .22 or so microbore hose, so it is okay flexible for my use at the bench.

I googled “Airhog,” went to the airhog site and there are no images. After clicking a product hyperlink it takes me to a page where there is no product listed. Think the company went under?



Reference CA-OA-002-003

External Regulator for bottles with valve which have standard thread DIN (G5/8) with the option to change the output pressure from 100 to 210 bar. This Regulator can be used for any air gun having a filling adapter that is attached to the hose. After connecting to the bottle regulator will maintain stable pressure in the airtube which ensures much more consistent (more accurate) shooting with rifles, which do not have own regulator.

€140.00

Also Fx hose....

I just want a longer hose for my hand pump

 

[Ezana4CE]

I went with ATP (Air Tanks Plus) hoses. And they’re great. What I really love are their 90 degree female foster fittings. That save wear and tear on my HPA lines by preventing wayyyy less crimping. Their fittings are heavy duty too. I also got some protective rubber caps to cover my fittings when not in use. One in particular can cover the foster fitting with a fill probe attached. Really happy with their products.

Could you post me a link?
I just need the longer hose. Hate having to crouch to see my gauge
