    Default Hooking up water cooler....Help... Hose to short?

    So if I stretch the hose tight, it's about 2" short from making it to the cooler from my PT 250EX. Is it possible to add a completely new hose without splicing and if the answer is yes, where do I get the hose? I guess even if the answer is no, where do I get the hose!?
    Why wouldn't they add an extra foot to the hose just in case, it probably wouldn't cost but another .05 cents....

    This is too funny, but I will play along, my advice is to put a couple of 2 x 4's under the cooler to raise it up on the cart, that should give enough slack to make the connection.

    It is a very simple solution . You have a rubber sleeve over all the lines . If you need a couple of more inches just slit the rubber sleeve a couple of inches to give yourself more line coming from the torch. You do not need to lengthen the water lines .
    If you need more detailed instructions just drop me a line or call the office in the morning

    For the line running to the torch I could cut the sleeve and be fine. For the line that ties in near the input to the welder there is no moving it. I had to add a coupler and hose to make it work.
    Sorry my question is humerous but I spent alot of money and want to do this right

    Any good local hardware store should have the barbed fitting and extra hose. Remember that the pressure is only 50 PSI. Just get the stuff that's reinforced. You can use hose clamps, but stainless safety wire works just as well.

    Sorry for the Confusion on my part for the hose being to short from the connector.
    Here in Canada we use a Different Quality torch to that of the US and as can be seen in the Photo our black with red braided hoses are longer to than those supplied in th U.S.
