Stay as far as you can from that blue compressor hose they sell: I've had
one burst at 70psi. Get good brand stuff: for quick-connect fittings Amflo
is my fave but I'm sure there are others.

I've not had one burst, it's done a pretty good imitation of a coil
spring in cooler(40 degree) weather, though. The black rubber
Goodyear hose is good on sale, works at any temp. Same with the Amflo
fittings they sell in bulk. Stay far away from those bubble-packed
brass ends if you don't want leaks. All those quick-connects need
periodic testing, anyway. Rubber seals only last so long.
