Title: Trim lines for air... 2/28
Post by: DCSP John on February 28, 2014, 09:32:11 AM

I want to run some two trim lines... one to washout, one for press cleaning.
What size hose do you guys use? 1/4"? I assume press size hose is not needed for trim air..



Thanks.  John

At the press I would just tee off the air supply before the regulator and use a 1/4 hose. The wash out run 3/8" soft copper or nylon tubing to the booth and again have a 1/4 or 3/8 hose.

1/4" is what we use. For a blowout at the sink you can get a killer deal on this at harbor freight, has everything you need!
