Go for 3/8" ID hose and 3/8" fittings. The cheap stuff is 1/4", which

Don't forget to pull the drain plug on the tank before locating the
compressor. Install an elbow and a hose nipple, and run a short piece
of hose with a ball valve so you can drain the compressor. Beats the
hell out of laying on the floor and getting water in the face.
