FITT Refittex Compressed Air Hose 8x13 mm, 20 Bar

The FITT Refittex compressed air hose is a high-performance solution engineered for professional pneumatic systems. With an inner diameter of 8 mm and an outer diameter of 13 mm, this hose is specifically designed to handle demanding industrial and workshop environments. Its construction from high-quality polyvinyl chloride (PVC) ensures a balance between structural integrity and operational flexibility, allowing for easy maneuverability during daily tasks. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 20 bar, it provides a consistent and reliable air supply for a wide range of pneumatic tools.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the FITT Refittex hose lies in its robust PVC material, which offers excellent resistance to abrasion, chemical exposure, and mechanical wear. This durability ensures a long service life even under intensive use in workshops or construction sites. The hose is designed to maintain its shape and flexibility under pressure, preventing kinks that could restrict airflow. Its lightweight nature further enhances user comfort, reducing fatigue during prolonged operation with pneumatic equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting pneumatic tools in industrial workshops
• Air compressor systems for professional use
• General maintenance and repair tasks requiring compressed air
• Assembly line pneumatic applications

When it may not be suitable

This hose is not intended for use with high-temperature fluids or aggressive chemicals that are incompatible with PVC material. It should also not be used in environments where the operating pressure consistently exceeds the 20 bar limit, as this could compromise the safety and integrity of the hose.

Key specifications

• Inner diameter: 8 mm
• Outer diameter: 13 mm
• Material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• Maximum working pressure: 20 bar
• Total length: 100 m

How to use

To use the FITT Refittex hose, ensure that the pneumatic fittings are compatible with the 8x13 mm dimensions. Secure the hose to your air compressor outlet and the desired pneumatic tool using appropriate hose clamps or quick-connect couplings to prevent leaks. Before starting the compressor, inspect the hose for any signs of physical damage or sharp bends. Once connected, gradually increase the air pressure to the required level, ensuring it does not exceed the 20 bar maximum rating.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 8 mm inner diameter matches your existing pneumatic tool connections.
• Ensure the 20 bar pressure rating is sufficient for your specific air compressor output.
• Confirm that the 100-meter length is appropriate for your workspace requirements.
• Check the compatibility of your fittings with PVC hose materials.

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the hose for cracks or abrasions, especially near the connection points. Store the hose in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the flexibility and longevity of the PVC material.
