Flexzilla Pro Air Hose Reusable Fitting, 1/4 in. - RP900250

This DOES fit the ARB orange air hose. Has to use a little oil for the hose to slide onto the male portion, but it’s a perfect fit. I replaced the entire ARB fitting as it’s heavy and has unnecessary parts (quick connect, etc.) for simply filling tires. Be replacing it with this the amount of weight pulling on the tire valve is drastically reduced.

Love this item. Will buy again. Makes replacing bad spot in hose simple and quick

These are the best way to repair Flexzilla hose. Easy to install, no leaks or hose clamp to fight with.

The media could not be loaded. I bought a couple of the 1/4" fittings so that I could split a 50' hose into 15' and 35'. The spiral portion is plastic and provides much better strain relief than the stiff rubber that they use on the original flexzilla hose. The two fittings (barb and cap) are made of a strong aluminum that's been anodized to be black. I was able to really wrench the fittings together and nothing deformed or stripped. However, some of the black scratched off, so i assume that after years of use there wont be much black left and they'll just be silver aluminum.Cutting the flexzilla hose was easily done with a razor blade. Do make sure you get a nice 90 degree cut then you can go ahead and slip the strain relief on followed by the threaded cap. Once those are on the hose you can go ahead and press the barb into the hose. This takes a decent bit of force but can easily be done without adding any lubrication. Just make sure you get the hose fully seated on all sides.After the hose is fully seated on the barb you can pull back the cap and thread it on. You'll need two wrenches to tighten it down. Keep going until it wont go any farther.Now you can slide the strain relief up. It is designed to click into place, however it takes wayyyy more force than you can muster with just your hands. I had to jam the tip into the floor and lean my body weight onto it before it would click on. I don't think it's ever coming off, so that may be an issue if you plan on reusing this multiple times.The tip thread is tapered to yield a nice seal when you attach your final fitting. I was left with roughly 1/8" thread still exposed after i tightened things down.You could certainly get by with just inserting a normal barbed fitting and using a hose clamp, but this thread-on cap approach yields a much nicer result. It also doesn't have any sharp parts exposed, unlike a hose clamp.

work very well

I bought a large 100' flexzilla air hose with the intention of cutting it and making a shorter hose to use in my workshop (instead of always taking out the larger hose or fiddling with the hose reel. Tip: To do this you need to purchase two of these reusable ends; one for your new hose and one for your existing hose. I was impressed with how easy they made the whole process. I literally had my 10' hose made in 5 minutes and my regular longer hose repaired in another 3 minutes once I was comfortable with making the first one. Here's another tip: If you have any of that Ideal clear cable pulling gel, a little of that on the part that receives the hose will make your life easier; that or a little spit. ;-) Legacy makes great stuff for air tools. This is no exception. Well-constructed, anodized, aircraft quality aluminum was used in these to withstand the rigors of your workshop or job site. I would highly recommend and I would purchase this product again. If you find my reviews helpful, please let me know and I'll continue to write them on products I purchase here on Amazon. I heavily rely on others' reviews before making any purchases online.

I used this to replace the factory fitting on my 1/4" coil hose. This piece is very high quality with great fit and finish, and it's incredibly quick and easy to install. Depending on the material of the hose you are repairing, it may require a fair amount of force to get it over the barb. I was having a difficult time getting mine on so I heated it up slightly and it went on with ease. The compression fitting pinches the hose tight in place so there is no way it will come off. I set my regulator to its max pressure at 160psi and dipped it underwater to check for leaks but didn't see so much as a trace of a bubble forming after several minutes, it seals up tight!

Needed to replace an all-in-one compression fitting on a silicone air hose from Ridgid. Not because it leaked at the compression sleeve, but the air fitting simply stopped making a proper air tight connection. Searched a long time, could not find that particular all-in-one part.So, I settled on this whip and a separate air hose fitting.Install was not 1-2-3 done, because the hose would not slip on, even after having the silicone end in warm water for a short time or even 20-30 secs, I could not get the hose to slip all the way over that nipple while holding both in hand. Had to resort to clamping the fitting and using some pliers as gently as I could. Probably something about the specific orange hose.Once installed though, and putting on a quick hose disconnect with some teflon tape, it works a treat.Recommended.
