Troubleshooting
Hose is not connecting to the compressor/tool
Ensure the connection ports are clean and free of obstructions. Verify that both the hose coupler and the port are the correct 3/8" BSPT size and type. Check for any damage to the coupler's locking mechanism.
Air leaks at the connection point
Disconnect and reconnect the coupler, ensuring it clicks securely into place. Inspect the O-ring or seal on the coupler for damage or debris. If damaged, the coupler may need replacement.
Hose becomes stiff in cold weather
While designed for flexibility, extreme cold can still affect rigidity. Allow the hose to warm up indoors for a period before use. Avoid dragging the hose over abrasive surfaces when stiff.
Reduced air flow
Check for kinks or tight bends in the hose. Ensure the air compressor is supplying adequate pressure. Clean any debris from the quick coupler and tool inlet.
Durable construction from rubber and PVC offers longevity.
Remains flexible in cold weather conditions.
High working pressure rating suitable for most compressors.
Compact 5m length is ideal for smaller workshops or mobile use.
Cons
Maximum working pressure of 20 bar may be insufficient for high-demand industrial applications.
External diameter of 15mm might be too large for some compact tool connections.
While flexible, may still have some stiffness in extreme cold.
Fixed 5m length may not be suitable for users requiring longer reach.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your air compressor outlet and the pneumatic tool's inlet are clean and free of debris.
Connect the 3/8" BSPT quick coupler on the hose directly to the compatible port on your air compressor or tool. A simple push-and-click action typically secures the connection.
Attach your desired pneumatic tool to the other end of the hose if it's not already connected.
Compatibility:
This hose is compatible with air compressors featuring a 3/8" BSPT outlet.
It is designed for use with pneumatic tools that accept a 3/8" BSPT connection or are adapted for it.
The hose is rated for air use only; avoid using it with liquids or other gases.
Care:
After use, disconnect the hose and drain any residual air.
Wipe the hose clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using harsh solvents.
Store the hose loosely coiled in a dry, shaded area, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat or cold.
Periodically inspect the hose and coupler for any signs of wear, cracks, or leaks.
