Flexzilla Pro Air Hose Reusable Splicer, 3/8 in. - RP901375

This coupling worked perfectly. I like that it is tapered on the ends so that if feeds through compressor hose reel. I have a rubber hose on my reel. I keep 99% isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle in my shot for lubricating rubber parts to put them together. It lubricates, dries quickly and leaves no residue. I used it to put the fitting on the hose. It works great. This coupling is worth every penny.

Quickest, cleanest, and easiest air line repair ever. I was a little worried it may not work since I'm not running Flexzilla air line on my retractable reel but it worked first try without issues. Definitely need some muscle to get the hose over the barb fitting but once bottomed out the tapered ends thread on with ease. Very similar quality and feel to AN fittings if you're familiar with those. 10/10 would buy again.

It’s important that a hose repair doesn’t cause the hose to catch and get caught on sharp corners and edges. This repair connection is the ‘sleekest’ I have ever seen. It’s easy to install and prolongs the life of your expensive air lines. We’ll done Legacy!

To repair an air hose, you essentially have 3 options:1. Use barbed fittings with hose clamps2. Use barbed fittings with crimps3. Use this Flexzilla splicerWith hose clamps, the hose clamps themselves get in the way of pulling the hose around the shop, always catching on things, and they are especially irksome if you use a hose reel to store the hose. But the hose clamp approach is cheapest. With crimps, they don't snag on things, but the proper crimps and especially the crimping tools is alot of money. Also, you need to measure carefully the hose ID and OD to get the right crimps so you avoid leaks.With this Flexzilla splicer, the splicer itself is tapered so it doesn't catch on things. I used it on a 3/8" rubber 300 psi air hose whose OD was very close to 5/8" and it fit perfectly, with no leaks. It retracts into the hose reel without any problems. Some similar looking splicers have undersized ID's on the part fitting over the hose, so it actually won't go one some larger OD rubber hoses (unless you drill it out, possibly). I'm very happy with this splicer, and it can be re-used if I ever decide to replace the hose.

Works great. Love the Flexilla system
