Not to hijack your thread, but I'm getting ready to buy some 25'x3" hose for my trailer pump. Is there any advantage of nylon ply vs. steel ply? My pump makes about 800 psi Max pressure.

The steel hoses are less prone to kinking when your using them and pulling them along. The steel hoses are also rated higher than most fiber hoses. Make sure whatever you use can handle the highest pressure of the machine your using. If you take care of your hoses, buy good stuff and you will not be disappopinted. I do not use any chinese, korean or turkish hose. You get what you pay for and these just give mixed results and they won't be there if you have any problems. Conforms sells some good hose.

well it happens that they are conform hoses which make life so easy.  steel is the way to go, no distute. steel is not as vercitile as rubber, and if it can be done with rubber it is done with rubber.  make mixes better. not make US work harder.  JUST A THOUGHT

Nylon is lighter, that's about it's only advantage.
