What is the recommended PSI for this particular hose? I have 14 rows that are each 60' long, fed by hose bibs, fed by 1-1/4" PVC?...

I have no clue as I only use a garden hose and the runs are only about 8 to 10 feet long with the supply coming from a bib on city water.

I had about 12 lengths of 17' hose hooked with tees to garden hose and used regular hose pressure(60 psi) and had no problem watering all the rows and vining plants.

The system is put together with PVC tubing and compression fittings. You can go to your local hardware store and purchase tubing of any length you may need - I believe it is 1/2 OD, but safest to bring it with you so the clerk can match up the size (they can also show you how compression fittings work if you don't know). If your concern is loss of suction, no worries...I currently run 60 feet with no noticeable difference.

I would use a real flexible hose something from HD or Loews with a 1/4 in. Fitting that's all you need

Do you have a part # manufacturer... The attachments are all the same until you get to the hand held units that use a manual pressure pump or handle, compressor filled tanks, but it's the PSI rating your looking for. All the hose replacements I researched were all the same size starting from the 1200 PSI units, but the PSI ratings were not and it's important you match the hose up with your units PSI rating of course, even going several 100 PSI heavier never hurts...

I didn't have problems with mine. I normally run 90 psi and I don't think my depth was maxed. If your running a long line or small hose you might be starving the gun.

I don't know what the minimum pressure is for this device, but I know that we have 42 psi out of hose bib and it worked very good at this pressure. This was attached to a 50 ft hose.

I don't have a max but my well is always over 80 PSI and under constant pressure. I am sure this thing can handle anything the schedule 40 PVC pipe can handle. It is built like a tank. Very high quality.

I mostly use the power hose as I find the stretch hose to be a struggle...wish I could find a power hose less than the standard 30 foot hose...a happy medium would be nice

I didn't use the 1/4 plastic hose. I used 1/4" copper tube. Just insert it into the powermate unloader port. On the compressor head I screwed in a 3/8" male npt to 1/4" compression fitting. Incert the other end of tube and tighten. Hope this helps

The discharge plumbing connection requires a 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" ABS or PVC pipe. The pipe length depends on the depth of the sump pit.

I've used mine with 90psi line pressure and it's lasted hundreds of hours without failure or leaks. I'm not sure what it's rated for, but that's my experience.

The flow rate is lower than a standard hose. However, the pressure should be adequate for your purpose.

I tried it with 1/4 inch and there is not enough pressure to go more than a few feet. I wanted to do my raised garden. Spent a lot of time piecing it together and the connectors broke as I was setting it up, then it did not work after the first 3-4 feet. I took it apart, plugged the sprinklers into 1/2 inch and was good go to.

It's rated for 4000 psi.....its a single braided....but be careful because I ordered this hose more than once and it doesn't look like the picture until they said it was the wrong hose they sent

Curtis, I use mine via an outside hose bib with about 35-50psi. It works great!

Manufacturer states they are rated up to 4000psi. My machine is 3800psi...the hoses are very light and flexible compared to others rated for that pressure but I have noticed one has a kink in it after only 2 weeks of use. Guess I will wait and see if it bursts at that kink shortly. Hope this helped

What I did was cut off the smooth ends of the hoses to be joined up to the start of the ribbed part and then use 1 1/2 inch pvc couplers that you can get at home Depot. Be sure to use the primer on both the hose and couplers and good quality pvc cement also available at home Depot. Follow the pvc cement instructions .
