Does the size of the hose itself (3/8" versus 1/4") have any effect on the air pressure coming out of the end of the hose?

Laws of fluid dynamics say a smaller dia will increase the pressure but not sure it will be noticeable enough to make a difference. The length will also vary the pressure. Either way you should be able to adjust your pressure at the air source.

No effect. The larger hose allows this long hose to work properly without any drop in pressure. It is a very high quality hose.

Inside diameter of hose is important if you're worried about airflow. To fill a tire, 40 pounds is 40 pounds........bigger hose means more airflow, so it'll be quicker to fill the tire to 40 pounds. Only really important if you're using something that requires more CFM(cubic feet per minute) like an air sander or impact wrench-they are real air hogs and will use more than say just filling a tire. Hope that helped!

No, its an 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" discharge. A 3/4 " hose would create too much back pressure. Also all sump pumps need to a check valve on them to guard against any backflow back flow.

Yes. All my water garden hoses are 3/4 inch. If I remember correctly all water garden hoses have the same size connections.

No because we have a bigger hose on it and it works perfect, it shouldn't be a problem at all.

Yes. Regardless of hose diameter, the fittings are all the same 1/4" NPT. You'll need to install the male plug on the inflator and the quick disconnect on the hose.

No! The pressure washer side is 3/4" NPS (important!: not to be confused with the 3/4" NPT); the garden hose has a coarser thread.

It is a 5/8 connection to the stove so the supply is reduced no matter how big the hose is. Don't believe it will make a differnce

Yes. If you look at the top side you will see the brass nut that your 1/4 line goes to. When your compressor shuts off the head pressure will come out of that valve

I am not the seller, but yes, it could reduce the pressure ever so slightly. I think though that typically, it is negligeable as the GPM flow (only a few GPM) is not that high. Do some searching on line. Pressure drop is common on long lengths and high flow rates, but I doubt there any effect here. fyi - I wouldn't buy this hose. Buy a CAT.

Best performance is with a 1/2 airhose and a 1/2 air coupler. 3/8 hose inside diameter will hinder power

once u hook up the hole to the compressor i don;t notices any drop. there is still same pressure at end of hose as in compressor.

It takes the 3/8" readily, but has adaptors for all other common hose sizes with it. I added a little tape to make sure of no air leaks. This is a wonderful pump. You won't regret buying it. It has a lot of power!

it's got a real particular q/d fitting, it looks close to a standard 1/4" air hose fitting but it's not, I used it with a Camco BBQ so it was a straight up match for me, not sure if it's available seperately.

It is 1/4 npt for sure. The thread end is standard garden hose, and I think that is different from 3/4. But you can probably get an adapter at a local store or online at amazon

The input and output sizes for this unit are 3/8"NPT. In order to utilize my 1/4" hose, which is the usual size for a non-commercial shop, I used a reducing bushing at both ends to accommodate the hose from the compressor and the hose going to the equipment being utilized.

As far as hose goes I used 3/8. However I felt it was underpowered. And there were no accessories included

hose size does not realy mater. Its the fittings. 1/4'' fitting. In general 1/4 to 3/8 hose is a stander used hose.
