Grease Whip Hose

[pbR2k2]

Hey, I was wondering if grease whip hose fits into the standard 90* macroline fittings? If anyone knows, it'd be a great help!

Edit: Oops, wrong forum. Thought I put it in the Tech Support. Sorry.

this is from another thread on a different forum posted by someone else http://www.fittingsandadapters.com/greaswhiphos1.html



It is rated at 3000 PSI with a burst pressure of 12000. Not to mention its more flexible and rubbercoated

You think that would be safe? cuz it looks really cool

[pbR2k2]

Yea, it seems like it should work. But what kind of connectors should I use? Would it just fit into the normal macroline fittings, or would I have to get some special kind of fitting?

It looks like you'd just need some elbows for steel hose

steal braid hose fittings

Grease Whip Hose

I say splurge and buy yourslef a peice of steel braided hose its not that expensive.

SS hose scratches the gun. I like grease whip hose myself.

I had a grease whip spring a leak on me one time. The outside part blew up like a balloon. It was scary. It didn't blow but i threw it away anyways.

I haven't had any problems with the new one yet.

sounds like it was defective
i've never heard of grease gun hose bursting like that
but i've seen marcoline and fittings go
they're only rated at about 800psi i believe
greasegun line is way better IMO
and it doesn't keep a "memory" like ss braided does

There is a reason it says "For Grease Gun ONLY" all along the hose..



Yeah, did ya have fun?! I had a ball when I turned on my tank and my grease hose started to balloon and then pop like one.

I don't dig the "oh it leaks all the time, just yank on it back and forth until it stops" on Macro lines.. and grease gun hoses should be used on grease guns..

Heres what I did:

Steel braided hose and I used shrink tube that I picked up for like $2 and covered the entire hose. Looks nice, doesn't scratch my E-Mag and it's stee braid.

Frank is that one piece of shrink if it is where did you get it all I was able to find were six inch sections at my local Radioshack.

[thecavemankevin]

try lowes or home depot for the shrink tube

[Frank (the spank)]

I ordered it off the net. Cost more to ship it, lol

I forgot where I got mine, but LOTS of places have it, you can buy it by the foot, I got two feet just in case.

if you put shrink tubing over you ss hose will the heat damage it?
