Can=E2=80=99t help you with what type of tubing to use but you should be abl=
e to find =E2=80=9Cit=E2=80=9D @ McMaster-Carr. Depending on the temperature=
range you use your jacks in Will help determine what type of tubing to use.=
Did you check w/a repair shop? I=E2=80=99d suspect nylon but it=E2=80=99s w=
hite & not very flexible.=20
Did you try using a heat gun on the HD stuff to put it on?

OK... time to educate the old man... I have a need to replace a section of f=
lexible air tubing on a
air bag jack. I fabricated a new handle to give the jack more reach and the=
original tubing is too short
=20
I tried replacing original with H.D. stuff but it was too stiff to slip ove=
r the fitting... The original tubing
is amber colored and very pliable...squeezes easily between your fingers.. t=
he H.D. stuff was stiff
=20
It press fits over a fitting with a holding nut keeping it in place. I woul=
d imagine the working pressure
would be around 100#s since most compressors put out that much It's i.d. i=
s 3/26 and o.d. is 5/16 or
its metric equivalent. Only markings on the orig is "013M" but I don't thin=
k that means `13mm'
=20
so first question =E2=80=A6 what type tubing do I need vinyl ??? PVC ??? P=
olyethylene ????
second question =E2=80=A6 where to find it """ pics attached
=20
thanks
