So someone walked off with my compressor hose and I have no idea what it is..

Is this a safe one to get ? says 250 psi. Think compressor tops out at 150 psi. Also the hose says rubber or hybrid, hybrid better ? If this one isn't good any other one I should look into?

Also there are steel or brass connectors.. does it matter what type I get ?

6' of hose? I can't imagine less than 25' moving a tool or air chuck to your work, not the entire compressor.

Safety wise, I don't think it's as critical as hydraulic (where a pin hole results in a thin stream of oil injected under your skin).
I believe brass is a better fitting. I imagine better hoses remain more flexible in the cold. It's kinda a pain dealing with my cheap hoses in the winter.

Typically 3/8" is the normal size of hose. I'd stay away from those self coiling hoses unless you are just inflating bike tires.

our compressor at work is at 150.

we just buy 3/8 hose and call it a day.

even the cheap crap is fine.

length doesn't matter but how do you pick hose, psi ?

ie this one only say 200 psi... is 50 psi more than compressor safe.. like it wont blow up

It won't blow up but depending on how often you use it I would recommend spending a little more and getting one in a retractable reel like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Campbell-Hausfeld-PA500400AV-50-Feet-Retractable/dp/B0081ZO8T0/ref=pd_sim_469_26?ie=UTF8&dpID=41PQWZ6-tCL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1PRWDVFT1B9FE9X5QATX

Although that's 50ft. You can get 25ft if you're sure you'll never need more reach. Also this one is 300psi which is more pressure handling than you need, if you can find one that's 150 or 200psi it might be cheaper.

Yes, the hose originally linked will be fine..but personally, I wouldn't have one less than 25 feet long...and 50 would be preferrable. (I have a 25 and a 50, and rarely use the 25.)

Don't forget, you'll also need the connectors for each end of the hose...and they have to be the same type as on the compressor. They're NOT all the same. Basically, there are two standards, ARO (automotive) AND Industrial Exchange. They may look similar...but they're not the same.

QFT. The worst thing from a busted hose is a bunch of air leaking until you can stop it.

You can get hoses from Home Depot/Lowes/Northern Tool/Harbor Freight that have threaded brass ends on them. Lately, they carry all those extra parts too like the quick disconnects and other parts/pieces that make interchanging tools easy. You can order it from amazon too, but the cost isn't too bad.
