Compressor originally bought from Bunnings 2010, Contacted Spear & Jackson NZ no joy.

 

the hose which is (feng er ji qi do pu tube 5x8 mm) stamped on the hose.

 

If I can't obtain one will have to make one up.

got a pic of what it connects to?

 

the hose looks like a bodgy job. its a standard pneumatic hose, but the connector looks all wrong. it looks like someone melted the end, shove it in and tightened it up. 

 

without seeing the whole thing i can't be sure but it kinda looks like they have connectors for cooper piping but replaced the pipe with plastic. you will probably need to replace the fittings.

If you can't find a solution here, most centres have businesses that specialise in compressors and the like. Likely not the cheapest option but worth bearing in mind.

those guys are hydraulic guys. you would get a $100 hose instead of the $5 air hose.

 

tons of compressed air companies around you can use.
