Thanks for the post Jamesv,

What is the model# of your Husky compressor? It should be on a label on the tank; this will greatly help as I can recommend the correct size/length of tube you'll need.

You're right, S.S. braided tubes are essentially a permanent solution as vibration won't affect the integrity of the tube, neither will heat or pressure, so these braided tubes are recommended over copper or aluminum.
They're more expensive as you'll need to purchase the Tube as well as a new in-tank Check Valve (as the fittings are different), but again it will save you in the long run.

Our S.S. braided Transfer Tubes have male NPT fittings on one end (which would tread into your pump head) and female flare swivel connections on the opposite end. This would thread into either a flare adapter or, simply, a male flare check valve.

With the model# I can better recommend the parts you'll need.

Thank you!

Well, our "FDT12" sells for $42 + shipping and is 12" in length. We also have a 7" long tube but that's probably too short.

You can view them all here: www.mastertoolrepair.com/12-steel-braide...lengths-p-13098.html

The only problem is finding a check valve that has a male flared inlet, as you'll need this to mate to the female flare fitting on the new tube. We have one available, but it has a 3/4" male NPT fitting on the tank end, and you need a 1/2" male NPT fitting to thread into your tank.

The best recommendation would be to go to a plumbing supply store have them find you a male flare adapter, which would convert your female flare swivel on the above transfer tube to a compression fitting, or simply to a male npt fitting.
