Most hoses for air compressors range in size from 1/4" to 1" in diameter. You should be able to find which hose diameter is suitable by looking at your air compressor. Some air compressors will allow you to use several different sized hoses, simply by switching out the hose fitting (where the hose and air compressor connect).
For LVLP guns putting 1/4" fittings on 3/8" hose does not yield the same result as using 1/4" hose. For your system to operate properly, your compressor should be able to supply at least 1 - 1.5x the pressure/CFM requirement of your gun.
1″ x 100’: ~1.4 PSI pressure loss 3/4″ x 100’: ~5.7 PSI pressure loss 1/2″ x 100’: ~44 PSI pressure loss Your compressor would actually have to be operating at ~134 psi gauge pressure† to maintain 100 psi at the tool with the ½” pipe. Increasing Pressure vs
Some background. doing minor ceiling texture repair work. I have the flexvolt air compressor with a 50ft 3/8 air hose. At 60psi i am able to use my texture gun. Now lugging a 50ft hose to a job with a portable air compressor kinda defeat the purpose.

Steps to figuring what size piping your compressed air system needs: 1. Determine your air compressor’s maximum CFM. 2. Draw a piping schematic and show all pipe fittings, valves, etc. 3. Measure and write the corresponding lengths of pipe on your4.
2016/1/12· Air hoses typically come with brass pipe threads, ready to accept the quick-connect fitting of your choice. For nail guns, I use 1/4” hose—although 3/8” hose is ok, too, but 1/4” fittings should be plenty. There are two common “standard” quick-connect fittings: Milton
