try checking a local heavy duty(diesel) truck parts store. i work on our city buses out here and when we run out of steel braided line we go to a parts store to get some. but we have the crimping machine also at work.

You can always try Parker. we use them quite a bit for things here at work on my test stands that I design. here are a couple links for you to check out.

http://www.parker.com/fcg/indexv4.asp

From clicking on there go to Divisions and you can click on Hose Products and Tube Fittings

Here are locations in Georgia

http://www.parker.com/distloc/englis...&menu_divid=-1

You may need to click on distributors cause this link is giving me trouble Then search for distributors for Hose Products and Tube Fitting Products....

Good luck

just a suggestion what if you were to hard pipe the line with some stainless tube, flaring the tube and using tube fittings with a 37degree flare. Just a suggestion. You can get Stainless tube that will withstand quite a bit of pressure. Not sure how much pressure you are usuing on your bags but if people are blowing thru the hose, I would suggest looking either for tubing that with stand high pressures or go with hard line. Again its all just a suggestion.

Here is another link for steel braided hose....

http://www.earls.co.uk/

I saw that their steel braid line are able to withstand 250 to 1000 psi. depending on which line of hose you go with and you should be able to get their product at any speed shop that carries earls.

alternates to earls is Russel or even Aeroquip
