Silverline 269591 Coiled Air Hose 10m

Product Information

On the other hand, if you’re going to be sitting at a workbench all day using a nail gun, then you won’t want your air hose to be too long, as it’ll make working more awkward than it needs to be. In addition to fittings, the proper selection and installation of hose clamps are vital to maintaining a secure connection. Worm gear hose clamps and spring-loaded clamps are the most common types available. Worm gear clamps provide an adjustable and reusable solution, while spring-loaded clamps offer a more permanent and robust connection. Polyamide (PA or Nylon): Light, robust, dimensionally stable, good bend radius, good flexural-fatigue resistance, and a low moisture absorption rate. There are many different types of air hoses available in the market, each designed for specific applications. The most common types of air hoses include: PVC Air Hose

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety goggles and gloves, when using a coiled air hose. They are more suited to an industrial or manufacturing environment. Coiled hoses are often used to help operate machinery in many different industries from food manufacturing to car manufacturing. When not in use, coil the hose neatly and avoid any sharp bends or kinks that could weaken the structure over time.

Hose Storage

Another benefit of straight air hoses is that they are easy to store and can be gathered up in a circular pile, or can be mounted on a handy hose reel with a crank handle. Coiled air hoses Our PU coils offer low-temperature flexibility. Able to withstand temperatures as low as -20oc and a temperature up to as high as 65oc. Ideal for industrial air tool applications that require a polyurethane coiled air hose. Polyurethane Spiral Hose Sizes Nylon air hoses are strong, durable, and resistant to abrasion and chemicals. They are commonly used in automotive and industrial applications. Polyurethane Air Hose

Air hoses, also known as air lines or pneumatic tubing, are flexible tubes made of PVC, nylon, and other materials that are designed to carry compressed air from one location to another. These hoses are commonly used in a variety of industrial, commercial, and automotive applications, and they are essential for powering air tools, pneumatic equipment, and other types of machinery that require compressed air. You can find out more in our Air Hose Guide.

Compressed air hose buying considerations

Air hoses are available in multiple lengths - amongst the most common are 30, 50 and 100 metres. The length of most brands can be adjusted through cutting or coupling but it is sensible to consider the nature of your project carefully. Longer air hoses will be heavier and bulkier than smaller ones. In addition, the pressure in an air hose drops as the gas leaves the tank and passes along its length - so the longer the hose, the lower the pressure at the exit point. This is particularly important for hoses which have been attached using couplers. Each additional coupler will diminish air pressure more than a single long hose. If you’re going to be working with air pressures of 20 bar or higher, then you’ll want to buy a high-pressure air hose. If you are working with air pressures below 20 bar, then you’ll be able to use a standard air hose. Polyurethane and nylon are the two main materials used for coiled air hoses (although you can get others, such as rubber too). So what are the differences between them?

Most connectors are made from plastic, brass, aluminium or steel. Sturdiness and reliability are also important so look for brands that have been quality tested. Polyurethane coiled hoses require a tighter bend radius, making them better suited for robotic or pneumatic control machinery. They work well with medium pressure applications and offer excellent resistance from fuels and oils. NBR rubber, also known as nitrile rubber or Buna-N, is a widely used, oil and fuel-resistant rubber which also has excellent tensile strength. This makes it ideal for use in hoses where resistance to friction is important. Coiled air hoses are highly practical tools designed to meet various pneumatic requirements across different industries. Their coiled design offers increased durability and flexibility, making them an ideal choice for both, professionals and DIY enthusiasts. Polyurethane (PU) tubing is a the most common type of tubing used for pneumatic applications. The PU material makes it durable, gives it good resistance to kinks and abrasions, and it is readily available. What is PE tubing?At Metro Sales, we know that finding the right air hose and fittings can be a bit of a minefield. That’s why we have two very useful guides for you:

PVC, also known as polyvinyl chloride is a synthetic polymer of plastic, makes a great general-purpose hose material as it is lightweight, abrasion resistant and has a long lifespan.

When you should replace your air hose

Another commonly used material for coiled air hoses is polyurethane. The main benefits of polyurethane coiled air hoses are their durability and elasticity. They are known for their ability to retain their shape even after continuous use, ensuring the hose remains coiled and avoids tangling. Proper maintenance and safety precautions are crucial when using a coiled air hose. To ensure the longevity of the hose and prevent any accidents, follow these guidelines: Whilst compressed air hoses are available in a range of different materials, they tend to come in one of two main styles; straight or coiled. Straight air hoses In the case of the latter, you should look out for some of the common problems that can afflict hoses such as abrasion, tearing, damage as a result of excessive bending, or material degradation as a result of age. What are the different styles of air hose? Polyurethane hoses show resistance to kinking, abrasion, oil, and chemicals. They also have a broad temperature range, functioning well between -40°C and +70°C. Moreover, polyurethane hoses typically outlast their nylon counterparts when it comes to wear and tear.
