2 Foot Hose for ARB Inflator Needed

[Dissent]

When I air up, every valve stem is at ground level until the last run where it was on top. I had a eureka moment when I didn't have to stoop, squat or stand on my head to air up and wondered why the ARB Inflator only has a 12" hose. Does anyone know if there's a ready to go 24" hose that is made to screw right on without fiddling with thread sizes so I can stand upright like a grown up?

I don't think there is a bolt on solution. It doesn't look like it would be very hard to adapt a new hose with a few parts or make an extension.

I can put something together but it looked like an odd size in my cursory inspection. I assume the entire world hates stooping over.

Found the perfect solution that also glows in the dark!

Amazon carries the JACO FlowPro Tire Inflator Gauge - 100 PSI for $35.00

The JACO is a bit more pricey than the $26.00 ARB unit but it seems much better quality and has a 20" hose so I can stand up while airing up! It's higher rated at 4.5 stars vs. the ARB at 4 stars. The JACO also comes with a clip on or screw on Schrader tip, they are quickly swapped out if desired, a standard 1/4" NPT quick disconnect and a tiny roll of Teflon tape. The tape spool is about the diameter of a quarter. I did have to spin the gauge off the JACO and put some teflon tape to center it on the body, otherwise it faced too much to the left. The ARB gauge seems to be one piece with the body. The JACO butterfly valve operation is much smoother and a much shorter throw. The ARB feels like the parts are scraping together and could use some lubrication. Overall I think the JACO is well worth replacing the ARB unit.



Discovered the glow in the dark function whilst roaming through my dark hallway on the way back to the garage. It was exposed to my overhead spots in the kitchen while I was taking the comparison picture on the floor above. Giving my ARB to the kids to air up their bikes.

I have the ARB one you show, never been a huge fan. I'll have to check this out.
