(2,244 characters)your gun at all so talk about the sizing just a little bit the three foot we got three foot once again three foot whips and we got five foot whips and that that in itself probably is just going to be really your preference how much you'll how much whip do you want how much length do you want the longer you have a whip you know the more you're gonna have to push you know a heavy viscous material through there and it's gonna start to limit the materials you can push through a whip but once again i've used three foots and five foots with elastomer coatings and never had a problem with it so to me it's really going to come down to personal preference i just personally like having a three foot whip i use three foot whips on all my guns and most of them are the exit flex style because they're just significantly softer more flexible and cause a lot less wrist fatigue so talk a little bit about the psi rating of the hoses too the exit flex whips their wire braided hoses so they're gonna handle more psi these hoses are rated at 5000 psi the hose um here is 575 psi because it is a little bit larger diameter outside ins and inside diameter hose even though it's the same color and i'll talk about a little bit about why that is the lime green hoses right here these are rated and if you ever want to know you know the inside diameter hose or the outside arm of the hose it should tell you right on the lay line of the hose so this is rated at 3 500 psi and the inside diameter is 3 16. and you know most airless sprayers are running i think they're maximum 3 300 psi somewhere right in that range so these whips are gonna um be able to run with you know all the airless sprayers that you typically would have but just make sure if you have an airless rare running more than you know 3 500 psi you don't want to run like this lime green hose you'd want to run an exit flex whip that is rated at 5000 psi so just pay attention to that so once again it's all all the markings should be right on the ley line this is going to tell me inside diameter is 3.2 right here it's going to tell me my maximum working pressure is 5000 psi so you definitely want to abide by those regulations stamped on the hoses themselves so now we have what i call
