I have a ARB dual compressor mounted under the hood on my 100 series land cruiser (using the slee bracket) and have mounted the quick disconnect inside my front bumper. Currently the pump will only be used for airing up tires, but in the future I might add air lockers. I likely will not be using air tools on this, but again that might change in the future. I plumbed in the hose to the front bumper using 1/4" ID 3/8" OD polyurethane tubing (mcmaster carr PN 5648K26). I was airing up my tires today for the first time (doing all 4, 33" tires, from 20 PSI to 40 PSI) and on the third tire i had a hose failure a few inches from the compressor (tubing burst). Tubing was warm but not hot. I trimmed a section off and re connected it to the pump (plumbed in using push to connect fittings). Subsequent re-pressurization caused the hose to blow out of the fitting.
Anyways, that's a long way of asking- what is the best material for plumbing in this sort of line? The PU hose is rated to 170PSI @ 72*F with a max rated temp of 180*F. I would like to use the existing press fit connectors that i have, however can definitely change to hose barb + hose clamps if that is more typical.
Thanks!
