Whip Hose

[Mace]

Hey Folks,

I never used a whip hose before but am thinking about starting. Of all the painters I know who spray (just a few) none of them ever used a whip hose.
I figure it should help when spraying my occasional cabinet jobs and my often trim work.

Anybody here use them? pros and cons...,,

TIA

I have used used whip hoses on both a Graco airless sprayer and a Fuji turbine HVLP sprayer.  The smaller diameter or slightly different hose materials of the whip greatly improve hose flexibility which helps tremendously in getting into tight spots and reducing operator fatigue.  For the small additional cost they have been well worth it for my uses.

Check my post #9 here:

I bought a graco originally and it cracked within a few months.  Can’t speak highly enough of the Flexzilla and the price is comparable.

This is the only hose I have on my Fuji Q4.

It replaces both the main hose and whip. No issues with it over the last 4+ years.
