BLUBIRD BB12100 1/2" x 100' Rubber Air Hose, 100% Rubber, Lightest, Strongest, Most Flexible, 300 PSI, 50F to 190F Degrees, Ozone Resistant, High Strength Polyester Braided

We bought these to use on our heavy duty tow truck to connect the tow truck brakes to the trailer brakes of a tractor trailer when towing. Blue is the color of the hose and glad hands for the emergency air so it makes it easy to know that's what it's for. Stays flexible even in the cold, cleans easily and is very durable.

Very well made. Comes with 3/8 in NPT built into hose and includes an adaptor with 3/8 in NPT female to male 1/4 in NPT. I needed the 1/4 in so it worked out well. The hose ends have robust reinforcements to protect the fittings. Nice product.

The orifice is not as big as other reviewers led me to believe...some people claimed it was .3125 inches, which may have been true for older production models, but not applicable to the newly made ones. It's a decent hose, however the model with the 3/8" hose (which has the 1/4" NPT thread ends) necks down to a .2810 inch diameter hole inside the hose end brass fittings. This is still better than my previous hose, which was a Made in USA Tekton hose that only had a .2660 inch diameter orifice inside the hose end. For comparison, the Milton V style hi flow 1/4 NPT fittings have a smallest diameter of .2770 inches at one end anyways, so I'm glad I bought this hose because I did experience a gain. When you compare the (pi*radius squared) areas of the holes, this Blubird hose neck has about a 12% increase in area over the Tekton hose. But keep in mind that just because the rubber hose may have an inside diameter of .3750 inches (3/8"), your limiting factor is going to be the smallest part of the entire hose, which is actually .2810 inches. But if I had to order everything over again, I might upgrade to 1/2" I.D. hoses and the larger 3/8" NPT thread size Milton V high flow fittings to get even better CFM.

I got this 25’ hose for ease of portability, loving it on every use to date, remains flexible in the cold

So far so good

Very good value for the price. And a nice upgrade from the yellow plastic hose that came with the little compressor I use. Gives me the reach I need and much more confidence I won't have a rupture in the middle of a project.

Works great!

Nice hose for what I need in my garage do a lot of mechanical work with air.

50' Rubber Air Hose, 100% Rubber, Lightest

Had the hose for about 6 months now and it has had lots of hard use and hot water running through it. Would recommend for sure. Kinking is not bad for a thick hose. All in all a good buy.

Used as an extension in a covered, warm and dry garage. No issues or leaks if properly sealed end to end.Cannot comment how well it holds up in the cold, only owned since the summer.So far, so good.

Excellent would buy again

Nice heavy solid hose
