800 miles from home. Orange hose burst. Need info

[speedjester]

The leveling hose didn't make it. I have a steady drip. I have a few questions
1 will the panel notify me of the jacks go down
2 does the panel have to be on to notify me or can I leave it off
Any help would be appreciated

speedjester a good temporary fix might be to install a cap where the hose is

[speedjester]

Right now it's a steady drip I don't have a cap with me and most napa's are closed

[lbrunning]

most of the farm stores around me have that stuff also where are u at

My panel tells me anytime the emergency brake is off and the jacks are down. It does not have to be on. It also runs the pump and attempts to retract the jacks. How do I know? Because my jacks deploy a couple inches when sitting for a while in storage. I haven't had time to tighten the valves.

Ok. Thanks

if they dont have a plug see if they can make a short hose to get to something they can plug if you need I can also give you weatherhead part numbers.

[speedjester]

Looks like it's holding I am heading to oriellys about 100 miles away Thanks

[lbrunning]

good luck speedjester hope you can get it plugged at least and have a good trip the rest of the way

[speedjester]

Thanks for your help. Appreciate it

Well stopped at OReilly.. And had them make me up a hose... They used some heavy duty stuff.. Rated at 5800psi.. And the fittings appear more robust.. Will change them out first thing in morning...

I want to thank everyone that took the time to help me... it is appreciated..Thanks again..

Kind of interested in the new hose at O'Reilly.
How many feet did you need and what was the cost for them to make one up? It is always good to have some idea just in case. Thanks

Well I purchased 16 ft of Gates 1/4" 5800 Psi hose with fittings for $87..... The hose and fittings were alot more robust than the one I removed...I was going to have them make me all new hoses but they didn't have anymore fittings..

Iggy, would you know the PSI rating on the orange hoses and I would assume it would be the same for black? I can't find it anywhere.

[speedjester]

I believe the first set I had was 2800psi..I know the new Orange ones FR sent me were rated at 3000psi....and it still bubbled..
