Silverline 269591 Coiled Air Hose 10m

Product Information

What’s more, PVC air hoses can be used across a broad range of temperature ranges, from -10ºC up to +60ºC in many instances.

Durability: Air hoses are designed to withstand high pressure, temperature, and abrasion, making them durable and long-lasting. Straight air hoses, as their name suggests, lie flat and straight. Straight air hoses are ideal for scenarios where you require considerable reach e.g. you’re working in an automotive garage and need to walk around using your air tool. Good for air lines, but also suitable for other professional/industrial uses such as water transfer. Generally speaking a coiled hose is more flexible making it easier to move around. It’s easier to use for “fiddly” tasks where a steady hand is needed. However, there are flexible standard air hoses available which allow you a little more freedom of movement. Likewise, you can buy air hoses with fittings which include swivel ends. Swivel ends allow a much better movement of the hose as they can fully rotate.In automotive maintenance and repair workshops, coiled air hoses are used to power pneumatic tools like impact wrenches, sanders, and air ratchets. These hoses provide a steady flow of compressed air, enabling the efficient operation of air-powered tools without any disruptions or tangling. Additionally, the coiled design allows for easy storage and minimises clutter in busy workshop environments. Flexibility: Air hoses are flexible and can bend and twist without breaking or kinking, allowing for greater manoeuvrability and ease of use.

PVC air hoses are lightweight, flexible, and easy to handle. They are ideal for use in light-duty applications such as home workshops or DIY projects. Nylon Air Hose Despite the name, British Standard Pipe is an internationally used standard for connected threaded tapered male to female pipes and tubing. Male connections are labelled ‘BSPM’ and female fittings ‘BSPF’.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. The key difference between a coiled air hose and a retractable air hose is the method of retraction. While a coiled air hose relies on its inherent coiled design to retract, a retractable air hose uses a dedicated reel mechanism for automatic winding and storage. Nylon air hoses are strong, durable, and resistant to abrasion and chemicals. They are commonly used in automotive and industrial applications. Polyurethane Air Hose

Connectors are a vital component of pressurised gas and air tools, ensuring a reliable flow of pressure from the compressor. They are used to join hoses to compressors or tools, to attach lengths of hose or divide a hose in different directions. They are also known as couplings, couplers fittings, splitters or manifolds. As with other types of adaptor, those for air hoses are typically divided into male and female connections. 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 Always make sure to use the appropriate pressure rating for your coiled air hose. Exceeding the maximum pressure may lead to rupture and potential injury.

Maintenance and Safety Tips

The pressure drop will be exacerbated by anything which obstructs or slows down airflow within the hose - including couplings, bends and even the diameter of the hose itself. Air hoses are also distinguished by their internal diameter or ID, which varies much less than the external diameter. Naturally, a larger internal diameter means that the hose can convey a greater quantity of gas or air, so the higher the required pressure, the greater the required ID. A coiled air hose is an essential tool in various industries, and its efficiency heavily depends on the fittings and connections used. These fittings play a crucial role in establishing a secure and leak-free connection between the air hose and pneumatic equipment. We hope you’ve found our guide to selecting the right air hose for your air compressor system helpful. A standard air hose in the UK consists of a straight tube, with no coils or twists. This makes them the best choice for layout on flat surfaces and easy storage when looped. They are commonly fitted within retractable reels operated with a crank handle which can be attached to walls and ceilings for storage.

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.Polyurethane air hoses are lightweight, flexible, and resistant to kinks and abrasions. They are ideal for use in pneumatic tools and equipment. Key Features and Benefits of Air Hose When referencing a hose, these can be made from multiple layers of materials. You can therefore ensure that the inner hose material is resistant to the compressor oils and condensate, but can then have a second material as the outer shell to protect it from environmental conditions. Thermoplastics Spiral coiled air hose products are designed to provide a convenient and effective way to transfer air and many other different types of gases. They save space and reduce workplace clutter by stretching and retracting out of the way after use. The construction of a coiled air hose consists of a compressed length, working length and tail length that is coupled with the hose’s coiled inside and outside diameters. Coiled air hoses are designed and manufactured to withstand the rigors of everyday work environments; they are specifically engineered to handle the stresses of continuous use in many different types of heavy-duty industries. Spiral hose products are manufactured using only the materials that best support the hoses’ intended application. Bear in mind that the larger the diameter of your chosen air hose, the heavier it will be. This also applies as the length of the hose increases too. So, try not to choose a hose that’s wider in diameter than it needs to be.
