Precautions to use a transparent PU duct hose
Work scenario
Fixed workstation operation
If the pneumatic tool is on a fixed workbench, a hose length of 2-5 meters may be sufficient. For example, in a car repair shop, the pneumatic tools used for tire inflation are usually in a relatively fixed position. Therefore, a rubber air hose of about 3 meters can easily inflate the tires of different vehicles. At the same time, it will not cause confusion due to the hose being too long.
Large-scale mobile operation
When operators need to carry pneumatic tools to move around in a large space, they need a longer air hose to ensure freedom of movement. For example, when performing wall grinding or spraying operations at a construction site, workers may need to work in multiple rooms or a large area. At this time, a hose of 10-30 meters can meet their needs to cover a larger working range without frequently changing the air source connection.
Tool type
Small and light tools
Small and light pneumatic tools such as pneumatic screwdrivers and small pneumatic spray guns usually do not require too much space for movement. And a hose that is too long may increase the burden of operation. Therefore, a hose of 3-8 meters is generally more suitable. This ensures that the operator can operate flexibly within a certain range, and the tool’s maneuverability will not be affected by the hose being too long.
Large and heavy tools
For large and heavy tools such as pneumatic breakers and large pneumatic wrenches, they require greater force and stable air pressure when working. In addition, the operator’s range of movement when using them is relatively small. Therefore, the hose length is generally around 5-10 meters. A shorter hose can reduce air pressure loss and ensure that the tool can obtain sufficient power. It also makes it easier for the operator to control the tool.
