how do u secure the hose to the gun?

just curious, but how do u secure the gun to the hose? do u use a cable that’s secured to the hose or something like it?

If you do a search for it, you’ll find a few different answers. I’m just beginning my build, so I’m not sure just which way I’ll do it. One more popular way is a small wooden “cork”, if you will, with the center drilled out so you can run the wires from your gun through the hose into the pack.

Do a search or check out the Equipment tab at the top of the page, and then click on Equipment Plans. Check out the three different plans, and find out what works best for you. Let us know what you come up with!

You could find a barbed fitting like this:

Or, you could do the same thing with a length of dowel and some glue.

Thank you, dowel was the word I was thinking of, not cork.

Easiest way I’ve found is to wrap enough electrical tape around the end of the hose that it fits snuggly inside the tube. It will secure it as well as make it removeable if needed.

paco…doesnt love me.

I have the hose inside the tube, and 2 bolts to hold it in.

Couldn’t have put it any better myself.

This is the method I use and my hose has never moved or fallen out.

Searching though my shed i found a connector of some sort that swivels, the hose im using for the ..um hose fits nicely over the bit, anice a snug, but not too snug that incase some prick pulls it it will just come off. ill post some pics of my set up once its all dry and sweet.
