It is kink-resistant, lightweight, and can handle up to 300 PSI for maximum working pressure. The Rubber/PVC blend provides the advantages of both materials: it's lighter than a pure rubber hose and more flexible than a pure PVC hose. It is resistant to low temperatures, UV rays, and abrasion, and it resists kinking. The hose is lightweight, heavy-duty, lays flat, and retains its shape for easy handling. The hose measures 6.5mm ID x 12mm OD and is 10m in length. It comes with pre-installed 1/4" Europe Steel Quick Coupler and Plug Fittings on both ends. The high-visibility blue color allows for quick identification on a busy job site. This hose is ideal for all air-powered equipment in job sites, garages, plants, and service stations.
This 10m PVC/Rubber Hybrid Air Hose from Aunstarwei is designed for professionals in job sites, garages, plants, and service stations who need a durable, flexible, and high-pressure air delivery solution. Its key benefit is the unique blend of rubber and PVC, offering superior flexibility and lighter weight than pure rubber, while maintaining strength and kink resistance. A potential caveat is that while durable, it is still a hose and requires proper handling to avoid damage in harsh environments.

Can this hose be used with all air tools?
Yes, it is compatible with most standard air tools that use a 1/4" connection. Always ensure your tool's pressure requirements do not exceed the hose's 300 PSI maximum working pressure.
How do I connect the hose to my tools?
The hose comes with pre-installed 1/4" Europe Steel Quick Coupler and Plug fittings on both ends. Simply connect the coupler to your air tool or compressor outlet.
Is this hose suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the hose is resistant to UV rays and abrasion, making it suitable for outdoor job sites and various weather conditions. However, it's best to store it away from prolonged direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
What is the maximum pressure this hose can handle?
The hose is designed to handle a maximum working pressure of 300 PSI.
How should I store the air hose to prevent damage?
Coil the hose loosely without sharp bends or kinks. Store it in a dry area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its flexibility and integrity.
What are the dimensions of the hose?
The hose has an Inner Diameter (ID) of 6.5mm and an Outer Diameter (OD) of 12mm.
Troubleshooting
Low or inconsistent airflow
Check for kinks in the hose, ensure fittings are securely connected, and verify the air compressor is operating correctly and at adequate pressure.
Coupler not engaging or releasing properly
Inspect the quick coupler and plug for debris or damage. Ensure they are properly aligned before attempting to connect or disconnect.
Hose appears stiff or less flexible
Ensure the hose has been stored appropriately. If exposed to extreme cold, allow it to warm up to room temperature. Avoid prolonged storage in tightly coiled states.
Visible damage to the hose material
Discontinue use immediately and replace the hose. Using a damaged hose can be dangerous and lead to further issues.
