hose for belly press

[Will Truitt]

Thanks also to Terry and Bob Davis for their very valuable additional input.
I am pleased that my query has stimulated such input and further offerings
for my benefit as well as others.  

 

Tomorrow I will order or get some hose from somewhere after I start making
some phone calls.  

 

Last night I did find the supplier and materials that Jude Reveley had
recommended to me and what he is using.  The supplier is JME Ellsworth

Rather than struggling with trying to post a picture of the hose itself, I
will simply refer those who are interested to the website.  The hose is not
cheap - over $200 for 50 feet with shipping.   But Jude swears by it, so
this may be what I order tomorrow after calling them.

I first used galvanized ends, but on the second generation attempt went with
PVC. Works great and is lighter. I didn't use any kind of goo to seal the
hose to the barbed PVC end - just wrenched it on and a single clamp as you
can see in the picture. I think I used some Teflon tape on the PVC fitting
threads.

 



 

 

Here's my system in use.

 



 

I'm using Titebond, as I believe you also do Ron. I usually clamp them 45
minutes to an hour and then move on.
