Outstanding performance in the hose!

excellent quality hose, from now on I am selling Legacy Flexzilla hoses. I've used PVC tubing for years and have dealt with tangles, kinks and stiff tubing. I recently upgraded my compressor and needed a fresh install, so Legacy was my answer. For the inlet hoses I used: 2ft (HFZ1202YW3S) and 4ft (HFZ1204YW3S) and my main hose (HFZ1250YW3). I used 1/2" hose with 3/8" ends for everything, the larger hose helps keep the demand for higher flow impact wrenches and air tools going. I also purchased a ReelWorks regulator (L201303A) and a Revain Rapidair regulator (K93215) to complete the system. And several trips back and forth to local hardware stores for fittings, valves, etc. I already had a 3/8" retractable hose reel at the other end of the store. Inserting hoses is great as they have a swivel end which is a must if you are trying to tie all of these pieces together without using restrictive connectors or tying. In general, I'm very happy with how the system has turned out. After everything was assembled I didn't notice any serious leaks. After about 2 hours I lost about 10psi in the reservoir. Eventually I may upgrade the store's plumbing to a Rapidair kit or copper tubing. I cannot recommend the Legacy Flexzilla hose enough. Thumbs up!
