minoura floor pump hose

cliff

I have a 25 year old minoura floor pump with the old cloth covered
hose that is threaded onto the pump base. The hose is crimped to the
threaded junction. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement
hose? If not, is there a threaded fitting that will allow me to use a
standard air hose? The pump works just fine otherwise. TIA.

Looking at a similar issue on a pump of no brand that I recall, when I
stripped off the crimp from the fitting (wire cutters and brute force,
IIRC), there was a barb - and you can simply put a normal air hose over
the barb, then use a normal hose clamp on it, if you are not bound up in
"historically correct" .vs. "works, and easy to repair the next time."

YMMV.

There are a multitude of hoses/heads available online. Pull off the
old. Wiggle on the new. Clamp or use a couple zip ties to secure, pump
away. Some times you have to cut away a fitting to get to plain hose
is all.

About $15 gets you something like this:

Thanks. This is just what I was thinking of doing since the hose has
a leak anyway. I greatly appreciate your insight.

If you have an Oetiker clamp tool that is less bulky and likely to cause
an issue than a regular worm-drive hose clamp. Unfortunately, finding a
source for the Oetiker clamps themselves may be problematic, unless you
have a really good speed shop or German car specialty parts store in
your area.

If you want an oetiker clamp--for that Yurpeen tech edge, call a
landscape supply company and ask if they can slap one on there for ya.
Alternately, they're also very popular with the washing machine tuning
crowd--but those guys are total snobs.

Any modern pump hose or hose with head. Use a stainless hose clamp on
your present barb.
