Cheaper HP hoses?

[MyronGanes]

I need to replace my 6 inch HP hoses but they're $40 a piece? Why are they so pricey? Anywhere I can get them for cheaper? Thanks!

braided or rubber for $22 from here. I usually get mine from Piranha, but try to make a big order at once to save on shipping

Remember that each hose, any hose, will have two end fittings swaged on, with a hydraulic swaging press. Two high quality fittings not made with pot metal or sharp edges to cut the hose, one hopes. If you went to a simple (construction or aviation) shop to have two fittings swaged on a hose, I'd bet on $8 per fitting and another $10 per for the swaging...so the hose is almost free at $40. By all means shop around--but sometimes, "bought cheap, paid dearly" applies. Especially if you can't really see the quality of the parts they're using.

$40 a hose is ridiculous and there is no justifying it.. Thanks, try again..

where do you buy your hoses? That's what I pay for SS braided hoses with SS fittings from my hydraulic supplier for custom length oxygen hoses. $20 is a reasonable price for the hoses since there are middle men and all of that involved. $40 is not
