Right now i got -10 AN compressor fittings that been leaking forever.. i'm sick of adding oil and switching to rubber line with clamps and heatwrap. Besides, braided return line is rubber on the inside.. so not much difference at least it will seal

Now, heres my question. I searched and some say to use 5/8 some say 3/8.. which should I get? Also, would red heater hose be good enough for oil?

Thanks

 

some say 5/8 and some say 3/8 for what????

Use a hose that is rated for oil and can withstand the temps. Anywhere you find the right hose will be able to tell you if it is rated for these things.

The rest of your question I can't figure out.

 

my other question is what size do i use if currently running -10 AN line? would it be 5/8th inch?

 

are you asking 3/8" or 5/8" FITTING SIZE?

have fun

btw: -10 = 9/16" (I.D.)

 

thanks!

 

get some 1/2" high pressure hydraulic hose from your local industrial center.....that stuff is the same thing the "braided" hose is made of just it doesn't come braided....and its only a few bucks a foot.....

 

i found some red hose, but only in 3/8" ID.. is that too small for return line?

 

i wouldn't risk it... blown turbo seal or a few bucks in return hose? it's 3/16" of a diff...

 

i'm not going to.. guess i'll wait till monday.. i think they had larger heavy duty hoses.. like 3/4" or 1/2".. do i need to change fittings as well or i can just clamp it over existing -10 an

 

not sure about that.. just take your fitting there and test it out i guess?

 

yep.. i'm gonna take apart then.. damn... i had a chance to get larger hose i just wasn't sure.. now gotta wait another day. that 3/8" was the largest in red hoses, but i guess not large enough

. thanks for helping out again
