Flexible braided hose
Where would I get or use for added flexibility at the "business" end of the hose. Ive seen some guys with little 12 to 24 inch pieces of what looked like braided steel hose. Is that all that it is , or is there more too it.

I have 4' of 1/4" SS braided hose on the ends of the chemical lines and a piece of rubber hose for the purge air line. They are nice and flexible to handle. With a variety of fittings you can position the valves at whichever end you want. I prefer my valves to remain on the gun for easy access in case of emergency and to avoid accidently closing or partially closing them by dragging around. Just make sure your hoses and fittings are rated for at least the highest pressure your machine will produce.
