air hose

[zachary zehnacker]

>From what I understand, the DOT line has UV stabilizers in it for the
outdoor use it is going to get. I would also think there must be some
abrasion standards it must meet as well. These standards that the line
must meet make it suitable for vehicles. They might be met by other non
DOT lines as well, but you just can't be sure. Since the difference only
works out to $30-$40 for the complete job, I would suggest using the DOT
line and not trying to save anything here. I would also suggest using new
DOT fittings for similar reasons. The time it is going to take to install
new air lines really is far more costly than the difference in cheap line
and DOT line. Air lines and fittings are those $2 parts that you don't
want to have fail and strand you on the side of the road.

I bought 15 feet of hose in Albuquerque today DOT 13174 4/98 1/4 O.D.A
It cost .69 per foot and came in Henry Ford colors (black). I also
bought ball valve and Schraeder valve and three way block with
fittings. Two each for $29.98. Makes Jim Bounds price look good. Also
went to DOT fittng for the air hose. I went to a hydraulic hose
wholesaler.

Now, how do I replace the airline from rear right to compressor above
rear left. It seems to disappear in a sleeve and not run through a
cross member.

Going to Chaco Canyon Friday and Saturday. Love my coach.

Justin from the numbers it looks good. I would use it. for 22 cents a foot
it looks even better.

>Yes, there are parts numbers for the different colors. He said "Don't be

>For me to act as middle man would be counter productive.
>So Thomas, send me a snail mail address and I'll send the sample along. Let me
