Understand Internal and External Diameter Impact

cloth braided so now let me talk about the the inside and the outside diameter what's kind of what what the importance is and why it even matters this hose the mustard colored hose right here we call this is an exit flex hose that's the style hose it is it has a really small inside diameter the inside diameter of this hose is stays right on the hose it's 3.2 millimeters and then the inside diameter of this hose right here the inside is a 3 16 inch diameter hose it's quite a bit bigger the outside diameter is bigger also and that just the outside dimer is going to make it less flexible it's really hard to run your really heavy materials through any type of whip but with that being said i typically am always spraying with an exit flex whip i've been spraying with an exit flex style whip for probably 20 some years now and there's never been a coating i've ever had a problem going through this style whip with this inside diameter now i run both of these on multiple pumps and i've run interior paints exterior paints and even elastomeric coatings and i've never had an issue with them the outside diameter of this is larger so it doesn't make it as flexible as an exit flex whip but it is extremely flexible so you can see an exit flex whip is very very soft very nimble and very flexible this is closer to like the quarter inch style hoses that come you know with your sprayers when you buy them they're like they're 50-foot hoses is what is typical but this the outside plastic and the hose itself being smaller diameter is uh significantly more flexible than a standard hose that comes with a sprayer so i'm going to talk a little bit about
