purchase air compressor hose for all models.

Choosing the right air compressor hose is essential for the smooth operation of your business. In this article, we will discuss the different types of air compressor hoses available and provide guidance on selecting the right hose for your needs. We will also introduce BISON, a manufacturer of customized air compressor hoses that are designed to meet the unique requirements of your business.

What kind of air compressor hose do I need?

The material of the air compressor hose is an important factor to consider when choosing a hose. Hoses can be made from aluminum, copper, plastic, rubber, PVC, and hybrid blends, with each material having different characteristics that affect its performance, durability, and suitability for various applications.

• Aluminum: Lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant, but expensive and prone to cracking. Best for high temperature applications.
• Copper: Excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, but heavy, expensive and prone to kinks. Best for industrial and architectural applications.
• Rubber: Flexible, durable, heat and abrasion resistant, but heavy and expensive. Best for heavy duty industrial use.
• PVC: Lightweight, inexpensive and easy to handle, but can become brittle and crack over time. Best for light home use.
• Hybrid Blends: Combine different materials for a balance of strength, flexibility and economy. Best for general purpose in a wide variety of applications.

How long air compressor hose do I need?

The length of the hose will directly affect the availability and performance of your air tool. You can purchase a 50m hose and get it anywhere – but we advise against it! In addition to being heavy and bulky, the longer the hose from the compressor to the tool, the more air/pressure is lost along the way.

Think about what will be doing with air tool and how much movement need to be able to do. For example, if you want to paint cars in a large workshop, you’ll need more hoses to navigate than, say, someone who’s going to use an air drill to make a wooden toy at a workbench.

The air hose length is chosen to provide a balance between maximum maneuverability and minimum pressure loss from the air tool.

SGS standard air hoses are sold with couplers and connectors fitted to them, meaning you can connect one hose to another. You can extend the hose range almost infinitely this way, but you may notice a small pressure drop for each additional coupler you add.

What diameter air compressor hose do I need?

We measure air hoses by their inside diameter. Put, the larger the inside diameter of the hose, the more air it can carry. While the outside diameter of an air hose will vary widely depending on the quality of the hose and the material it is made of, common internal sizes for air hose are 6mm, 8mm and 10mm inside diameter.

A rule of thumb when selecting the inside diameter of the hose is that the higher the CFM requirement of the air tool, the larger the hose diameter you will need. Hand tools like spray guns and nailers tend to require 1-3 CFM and work well with a 6mm hose. A heavy-duty impact wrench is more likely to require 6 CFM+, so you may need an 8mm or 10mm hose to run at full capacity.

The diameter of the hose can significantly affect the overall weight of the line. For small hand tools that require dexterity, choose the 6mm hose.

Standard air compressor hose vs recoil hose?

Strictly speaking, there are two different types of hose; first, a standard air hose that lays flat, with no bends or coils. You can loosely wind the hose into a loop for storage. Alternatively, you can install them in a hose reel that can be wound with a crank handle and mounted on the wall.

The second type is the recoil hose, which has lots of small, regular twists, similar to traditional telephone wires. The coil is stretchable and has memory, so when you loosen the hose, it shrinks for easy storage.
Choosing between the two comes down to preference and personal application. For example, many plants use recoil hoses, so they pop open when not in use. Many painters prefer standard hose because they don’t like the drag of coiled wire.

additional factors

By considering these additional factors, you can ensure you are choosing the right air compressor hose for your business and using it safely and effectively.

Temperature Range: Some air compressor hoses are designed to withstand high temperatures, while others are not. It is important to consider the temperature range of your application and choose a hose that can handle it.

Pressure Rating: Air compressor hoses come in different pressure ratings, which indicate the maximum pressure they can withstand. Make sure to choose a hose with the right pressure rating for your air tool.

Fittings: Fittings on your air compressor hose are important because they connect the hose to your air tool and compressor. Make sure to choose an accessory that is compatible with your device.

When you choose the best compressor air hose for your business, a certain level of expertise and expertise is required. That’s why BISON manufacture hoses, which are specially designed to solve all the problems we mentioned above.
