Key Features and Benefits
Extreme Temperature Flexibility
100% EPDM rubber construction maintains flexibility from -50°F to +190°F, preventing cracking, stiffening, or brittleness in harsh weather conditions that disable standard air hoses.
Lightweight High-Pressure Design
40% lighter than traditional rubber hoses while delivering 300 PSI working pressure and 1200 PSI burst strength through advanced polyester braided reinforcement technology.
Kink and Abrasion Resistance
Reinforced exterior cover resists kinking under pressure and withstands daily dragging across concrete floors and metal surfaces in demanding shop environments without premature wear.
Professional Brass Fittings
Corrosion-resistant brass NPT fittings with 3/8" reducers provide superior durability and universal compatibility with air compressors and pneumatic tools compared to aluminum alternatives.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| EPDM Rubber Construction | 100% EPDM rubber provides exceptional temperature flexibility and weather resistance, maintaining pliability from -50°F to +190°F without cracking or stiffening. This material choice ensures reliable operation in extreme weather conditions where standard rubber or PVC hoses fail, making it ideal for outdoor construction sites and year-round shop use. |
| Polyester Braided Reinforcement | High-strength polyester braiding provides 300 PSI working pressure and 1200 PSI burst strength while keeping the hose 40% lighter than traditional rubber alternatives. This reinforcement system delivers professional-grade pressure handling capability without the weight penalty, improving handling and reducing fatigue during extended use periods. |
| Kink Resistant Engineering | Advanced hose design with reinforced exterior cover resists kinking under pressure and withstands repeated dragging across concrete floors and metal surfaces. The kink resistance maintains consistent airflow even under stress, preventing work interruption and tool performance degradation in demanding professional environments. |
| Brass NPT Fitting System | Corrosion-resistant brass fittings with 1/2" Male NPT threads and included 3/8" reducers provide superior durability and universal compatibility with air compressors and pneumatic tools. The brass construction outlasts aluminum alternatives while providing leak-free connections and easy compatibility with standard shop equipment. |
| Professional 100-Foot Length | Extended 100-foot length provides comprehensive shop coverage and mobility for large work areas without requiring multiple hoses or extension connections. The full-length design maintains optimal 1/2" airflow capacity throughout the entire run, ensuring consistent tool performance even at maximum distance from the compressor source. |
