Silverline 269591 Coiled Air Hose 10m

Product Information

When selecting a coiled air hose, it is essential to consider factors such as length and the fittings required for a specific application. Compatibility with existing pneumatic systems and tools is crucial to avoid any unnecessary inconvenience or additional expenses. When it comes to selecting what length air hose you require, it’s important to think about how you’ll be using it. RS Pro supplies coiled air hoses that are specifically designed for various industries, including automotive, woodworking, and electronics. Their hoses are available in a variety of materials, such as polyurethane and nylon, which provide excellent durability and flexibility. Safety: Air hoses are designed to be leak-free and are made of materials that are safe for use with compressed air.

So what are the main differences between an air hose and a coiled air hose? Here are a few differences (some more obvious than others).Now that we’ve looked at some of the common reasons for air hose replacement and the two main styles of air hose, let’s take a look at some of the considerations you should take into account when buying a new compressor air hose. Material Different-sized air hoses require different adaptors. A further factor is the pressure tolerance required. The following are some of the most commonly-seen types of connector: Sealey is a renowned brand synonymous with quality and reliability. They offer a selection of coiled air hoses that cater to various industries and applications. Their products are favoured for their strength, resilience, and user-friendliness. However, as NBR rubber tends not to handle ozone and general weather well, it’s mainly used for the inner layers of air hoses. SBR rubber 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.

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. 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.

For large industrial workshops, there is often a requirement to have multiple connections throughout the workshop to connect pneumatic tools. In these settings, usually, a rigid piping system is used because it offers protection against accidental impacts or puncture. These rigid pipe systems, however, are expensive and labor intensive to install. As durability is a key criterion, often aluminum, copper, stainless steel, or rigid PVC is used. They also require numerous fittings and joints, which increases the points of possible leakage. The environmental temperature also needs to be taken into consideration as pipework can expand and contract with a temperature change. For example, aluminum expands 0.24 mm per meter pipe for every 10°C temperature increase. It is therefore important that the piping system is routed taking these movements into account, for example by using expansion loops. Air supply lines There are a number of reasons you may want to replace an air hose. In many cases, an air hose is replaced either because you are upgrading your compressed air system so that you can use new/different tools, or the existing air hose has come to the end of its serviceable life.
