Can this hose be cut to a smaller size? I see that it has fused joints that appear to be similar in diameter to the tips on each end.

Simply use a hose clamp the right size and it should work. You can buy them in any hardware store.AG

use acetylene regulator with tips 4,5,6, smaller under size 4 tips do not work as well.

yes but you may have to down size your hoses maybe to fit connections MAYBE

Yea, that makes a lot more sense than paying for a 3/8 inch hose and then restricting it to just 1/4" at each end. But the reason that they do that is that the cheapy connectors that are so popular in the home stores are the crappy 1/4" ones. I throw those in the garbage and use the larger 3/8" connectors. My air tools, especially the rotary ones, are much happier with the larger connectors. In fact, the documentation with some of them require at least a 3/8" air flow path to achieve the designed performance. Using 1/4" fittings would have crippled those tools. That said, this hose should be fine for low air consumption devices like nailers, etc... Just beware...

If you buy couplers and disposable bags they all fit..I love all my tips..cut too high it will fall through cut low enough just to make it fir tight..enjoy

The smallest hose is 1/4" OD. There is a parts list, but that does not provide the hose sizes. TS

Ok. I did not have that problem. However I would think it shoud be possible to splice two different size hoses together. Possibly bike shops may not have the proper hoses in which case I would guess a good auto store would. It might be matter of using a stainless steel hose clamp of the right size.

Yes. You can screw the female hose end to the male end on the same hose... so another hose would have the same ends and they would screw together to make a 24' hose. (They also have the center pipe to press the valve open inside the hose).

It is kind of a short hose... (reaches my dogs head, but not much farther). Unfortunately, I don't see any way of extending it because the couplers are one of a kind (plastic part to metal part which screws onto a regular faucet).

I cut them up to smaller sizes and fitted them with hose ends. It's not simple, though. You will need a sleeve to increase the diameter of the 1/2" hose fitting. I don;t like these soakers at all. The one I used last season cracked internally over the winter, even though it was stored inside. I'm going to give the other 4 that I bought at the same time a chance this year; but I suspect I will be buying all new soaker hoses next year. I already bought a different one that looks like it will last a while.

No, not easily anyway. The kit is designed to splice into the old hose. One would normally choose a spot a few inches from where the old hose comes out of the base, then cut the old hose at that point, and a small coupling device (supplied in the kit) is then slipped into each end (the cut end of the old hose and the open end of the new hose). Before I ordered the kit I tried to take the base unit apart and wasn't able to do it. I suspect that if you could take the base apart you could probably just slip the new hose onto the same fitting as the old hose uses. Hope this helps!

I didn't have to cut it ... So not sure. I've cut other similar hoses in the past w no problems

Yes, it could be, but it is a horrible hose...not flexible at all as I mentioned in my critique. I would not buy this version.

I see no reason why they cannot. It's just (or just like) PVC pipe and if you have the tools to cut it, then cut it to the height you like and slide the tips on to your new tip. Seems to me it should be easy.

yes you will have to cut off the point or else it will not fit. Hope this help

I haven't had to do this. But I'd go to my friendly neighborhood hardware store with a section of hose that I'd cut off, and the measurements of the hose and ask for a replacement. Probably the same as RV hoses...

I don't know what size hose I have. The printing is rubbed off. I guess just go to a store and by a standard size hose and then buy the fittings to match it. There should be o problem using the smaller hose.
