For a similar application with my compressor I used the following from
McMaster-Carr:
1 10Ft. 5304K28 All-Flow EPDM Rubber Multipurpose Hose 1/2" ID, 7/8"
OD, 300 Psi, Black $0.86 $8.60
2 2 Packs 5346K36 Brass Hose Fitting Barb X Male Swivel For 1/2" Hose ID,
1/2" Pipe, Packs of 2 $6.78 $13.56
3 1 Each 54205K11 Type 301 SS Constant-Tension Worm-Drive Clamp 9/16" To
1-1/16" Clamp ID Range, 9/16" Band Width $3.44
That's real tough hose, about as tough as what we used to use in a machine
shop. The swivel bars seem to seal well and make the installation much
easier. The constant tension clamps are smooth on the inside (don't scar
hose) and they have a spring action to adjust for expansion/contraction with
temperature.
