BN Pneumatic Lift-All

[Grumpydaniel]

Been rebuilding my lift-all system, starting with the pressure valve. I was able to find a decent housing, but it lacked the pipe nipple on the bottom, so I had to rig up a way to attach it to the manifold. (see pic). Anyway, it works, but the hood will hafta be modified. Anyway, my question is this: the 15187 E Cylinder Hose, that runs from the control valve to the pneumatic cylinder -- how can I remake this? I assume it is made for high temperatures, so what do I hafta get to remake the hose? Fittings I can figure out, but I dunno what kinda hose to get.

My God, Gene, I can't seem to get away from you! Hahaha! I had thought about heater hose, but wasn't sure it would hold up with that much heat. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Another option is water hose that is rated for hot water, maybe a washing machine hook-up hose. It will even come with at least one fitting already attached where you can use it.

Heat is less of a problem with those hoses than it might appear to be. The only time hot exhaust is flowing through it is while it is lifting. It will then usually have quite a while to cool before using the lift again. You should never leave the cylinder end of the hose unhooked and open to the air while the engine is running.
