fire hose

[rockaukum]

I have some used fire hose that I just replaced in my press. Two 5" hoses clamped to gether (side by side) with scrader valves in place. Have used this set up for multiple pressings with no leaks. I made a longer setup and wanted to see if someone might be interested in it.

clamped (currently clamps are welded together side by side)

i'm using the same type of valve! they work great and are cheap!

Yes they are. about $2 ea and you can either leave the stem intact or remove for quicker deflation. I leave them in.

What are the fittings you used and where did you get them? I have been looking for some through wall fittings but all are pretty expensive. These look like what I am after!

schrader (spell) valves are the valves used in you car tires. Go to your local auto supply house, they should have plenty.

I got mine from a place that sells truck tires. They use those valves for tractor trailers. I agree they work really great and yeah cheap! I never even used any sealant.
