Help! My macroline hose busted in front of me!

[oOHiTmAn47Oo]

I was practicing shooting one day until my macroline hose busted. It was a brand new hose. After having it installed for about 2 weeks. I decided to practice. Suddenly it busted. I went to go and practice again and it did the same thing. So far I had to cut my hose 4 times. Whats wrong?

You're using hose that is not rated for the pressure you are putting through it.

You'll need better mactro line. Many places sell macro line that is under rated. The softer macro lines will break if you get a scratch on the surface. The scratch creates a weak spot in the line.

Measure that line and goto Suckgear.com and get some stainless hose for $10.

Tunaman sells the good Macroline. It is Parker Parflex and it will never bust on you. I've had it up to 1.2K psi w/o problems. Be sure you're using the UK Made fittings too.

Macroline just frightens me. Well, not the macroline, but the fittings themselves. I have been unable to find ANY data on the PSI ratings of the common macroline fittings. I'm not so scared of macroline breaking... I'm more scared of the fitting breaking and sending metal shrapnel toward my fingers/face.

I took a look at the fittings I just installed, and the welds that hold the two halves together... look a little sloppy.

I've always been scared of macro line. Thats why I use the steel hoses. Their pretty much just macroline covered in steel. If you put the time and effort into measuring everything right, after your done your gun looks pretty clean.

I'll use macro on small lines up to like 5", but after that, I'm just afraid it will sang on something and blow up.
