|
|
| tool oil, gum solvent, or an equal mixture of | |

|
|
|
|
| hoses or tools using large volumes of |
|
|
|
|
| air may require a hose with an I.D. of |
|
|
|
|
| 1/2 inch or larger depending on the total |
|

|
|
|
| b. Do not use a multiple number of hoses | |
|
|
|
|
| connected together with quick connect |
|
|
|
|
| fittings. This causes additional pressure |
|
|
