Air Compressor Hoses
Northern Tool + Equipment's collection of air hoses includes top brands such
as Goodyear, Dewalt, and BluBird, among others. Be sure to check out our customer's list of the best air hoses to help you make the right hose selection for your needs. To determine which hose is
best for your project and workspace, consider the hose's material, length,
and diameter.
Air Hose Material
Air hose buyers can choose from a variety of
material types, but polyurethane, PVC, and hybrid hoses have become industry
favorites. Polyurethane hoses are suited for a wide variety of projects and
conditions, which is why they've been deemed the best "all-around" option.
Poly hoses are lightweight and flexible in most temperatures. PVC hoses are
heavier, durable, abrasion resistant, economical, and best suited for use in
warm temperatures. They are also more rigid than poly or hybrid hoses, but
this rigidity allows for easier maneuverability and less snagging on
obstacles. Finally, hybrid hoses are made from blends of polyurethane, PVC,
polyester, and/or rubber which allow for extreme flexibility and durability,
even in cold temperatures. Hybrid hoses are highly sought after due to their
resistance to kinks and easy unraveling. You will also find several
traditional rubber air hoses in our selection. Rubber hoses used to be more
common, but their popularity has decreased due to their weight.
Air Hose Length We carry a variety of hose lengths, 50 ft and
100 ft being the most popular. Longer air hoses give the user more freedom
and maneuverability. They also decrease or eliminate the need for powering a
compressor with an extension cord. Prior to selecting air hose length,
consider your most used tools' CFM requirements. When your tool's CFM
requirements are near the max output of the compressor, a shorter hose is
necessary to avoid frictional loss.
