A hose isn't like an electrical cord. You can use as long a hose as you want.
One tip would be not to get a lot more than you need because you have to put it
away when you're done.

Hi Max,
You should be able to use about any length hose that you want.
I buy it in 50 foot sections with a quick connect on each end.
I also run my compressor on a 50 foot, 12 gauge, 3 conductor extension cord.
I would also suggest that you have at least a 20 amp breaker.

Unless you have a 2 cycle engine you just use regular gas. It's important to
stick to the lowest level of gas, regular, because of the heat generated by

At Home Despot or Lowes, I found face plates with multiple blanks in them.
You then purchased blocks to insert into each blank. They had phone
blocks, cable blocks, and a couple of other various things. So you
basically assemble whatever you need in the one face plate.
