Subject: Best air hose for cold weather


nw mb
What is the best type of air hose to use in -30 weather? PVC, rubber, etc? I need about 100ft of it, going to be running water through it for livestock. Normal garden hoses dont hold up and are really bulky moving them inside to thaw, thought maybe air hose would be smaller and more durable? 3/8ths would be fine since I really dont care if it takes 20 minutes longer to fill up trough. Thanks!!

Might try Flexzilla. Hold up well outside in winter with air.

I just bought some blue air hose, advertised for flexible use in cold weather. Not sure of the brand.

the silicon based ones handle the cold better, it will pay to shop round for that stuff, it was always silicon based dual core hose I used to sell to dry ice blasters

you can get a low temp pushlok hose, so i imagine you can get a low temp 'industrial' hose too, they generally a neoprene/nitrile based

I have had good luck with the goodyear hose. It pains me to admit that something good year makes is ok.
