Went into the shop this morning and found that one of the compressor hoses had "ballooned" during the night. Didn't burst but it was close. This was one of those miserable poly hoses that never coil up right. Got me to thinking: I leave my compressor on and the valve at the compressor open so the system (6 outlets/connections in copper) is always pressurized. Do you folks de-pressurize your hoses at the end of the day? I'm definitely not going to leave a cheap hose under pressure (or even use them again) but I'm thinking that at the end of the day it would be easy to close the tank valve and bleed off the air in the rest of the system. Probably a smart thing too. Just curious what your practices are?
