For increase production and operator comfort - always use a whip hose!
This lightweight airless spray whip hose is normally used between the spray gun and the main 1/4" paint hose.
It has spring guards at each end to help prevent the hose becoming damaged and kinked.
Because the internal bore of the hose is smaller than the main paint supply hose it is far more flexible and easier to manouvre, plus because it's only 0.9m long you will lose very little pressure.
