This 15 Metre High-Visibility Hybrid Air Hose from Loops is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing a durable, flexible, and safe air hose. Its key benefit is exceptional flexibility in extreme cold (-40°C) and a high-visibility design for enhanced workplace safety, with the caveat that it comes with 1/4" BSP unions, which may require adapters for some systems. The hose features a unique PVC and rubber blend, a no-recoil effect for easy storage, and meets EN 5774 standards.

No, this hose is designed for air use and is silicon-free for applications like bodyshops. It is not rated for food-grade or potable water transfer.
The product information does not specify the maximum working pressure. Please consult the product packaging or Loops customer support for detailed specifications.
The hose is designed to meet EN 5774 standards, indicating robust construction. However, always ensure your compressor's output pressure does not exceed the hose's capacity or your tool's requirements.
The hybrid material blend and construction allow the hose to naturally lie flat and retain its shape when not under pressure, preventing it from coiling up tightly on its own.
The net weight of the 15-meter hose is 3.11 kg.
Ensure the male BSP fitting is securely screwed into the female swivel union on the hose. Check that the sealing tape (if used) is applied correctly to the male threads. Inspect the threads on both fittings for damage.
Check for kinks or sharp bends in the hose. Ensure the hose is not blocked internally. Verify that the air compressor is providing adequate pressure and volume.
While designed for low temperatures, extreme conditions below -40°C may still affect flexibility. Allow the hose to warm up slightly if possible before use, or ensure it has been stored indoors if it will be used in exceptionally cold environments.
The hose is designed to lay flat. Avoid forcing it into a tight coil; instead, gently guide it into a loose loop. Ensure no debris is trapped in the hose that might resist flattening.
Setup: The Loops High-Visibility Hybrid Air Hose comes pre-fitted with 1/4" BSP female swivel unions. To connect, simply screw the appropriate male BSP fitting from your compressor or air tool onto the hose's unions. Ensure a tight seal to prevent air leaks. If your existing fittings are not 1/4" BSP, you will need to purchase compatible adapters.
Compatibility: This hose is compatible with most standard air compressors and pneumatic tools that utilize 1/4" BSP fittings. Its silicon-free construction makes it particularly suitable for automotive bodyshops, woodworking, and other environments where silicon contamination must be avoided.
