AC hose needed
Hello,
I need to replace my salon (this is from the engine mounted salon compressor) AC
system suction and discharge hoses.I
have been plagued with low suction pressure issues for a couple of years (9
psi) and it appears the suction hose is partially blocked, crimped or some other
obstruction.Both evaporators have a
tendency to freeze up with the abnormally low suction pressure.My suction pressure is 9 psi, discharge
pressure 200 psi (80 degree outside temperature) on an R12 system.I am looking for a supplier of bulk AC (Freon) hoses, #14
and #8, with fittings.The original
suction hose is #12, while enduring the pain involved in replacing the ac hoses,
I wanted to upgrade to #14 size suction.The #14 hose is hard to find.Hopefully,
the larger hose will eliminate any future issues.I am having problems locating a supplier of the #14 AC hose
and fittings.I have an AC hose
crimper.I normally buy the hose in bulk
and made up my own hoses, as needed.Any
help with locating a supplier would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Hector

Hector, I assume you have tried the AC industrial supply stores. What about WW Grainger or NAPA? I also would not rule out stores dedicated to hoses. We have a couple here in Knoxville and they have always had the type hose I need.

Bought mine at a hose store that sold all kinds. Hydraulic, air and specialty hoses out in West Texas. Had to have one cut down for length and they did that also. This was several years ago.

Hector, check out coldhose.com. It appears to have what you are looking for on their website. They list #14 as used primarily in motorhomes.
