Pneumatic hose GEKO 5x8 mm, 10 m length, PE material

GEKO pneumatic hose 5x8 mm, 10 m length, manufactured from polyethylene (PE) is intended for low-pressure air delivery in workshops, garages and garden equipment setups. The hose features an inner diameter of 5 mm and an outer diameter of 8 mm, supplied as a 10 metre coil that is compatible with common 5x8 fittings and quick connectors used for air tools, tyre inflation and general compressed-air distribution. The PE construction gives the hose flexibility for easy routing while maintaining resistance to kinks under normal working conditions.

Advantages

The PE material provides a balance between flexibility and dimensional stability, allowing the hose to bend around obstacles without permanent deformation. Its 10 m length reduces the need for frequent coupling between the compressor and the working point. The standard 5x8 mm dimensions make the hose compatible with widely used pneumatic fittings and accessories, simplifying installation and replacement. The hose is lightweight, chemically inert to common workshop fluids, and suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor use.

Suitable for

• Connecting compressors to pneumatic tools and blow guns
• Tyre and sports equipment inflation
• Light pneumatic systems in workshops and hobbyist setups
• Temporary air distribution for gardening equipment and small machinery

Key specifications

• Material: polyethylene (PE)
• Inner diameter: 5 mm
• Outer diameter: 8 mm
• Length: 10 metres
• Colour: (manufacturer standard colour for PE hoses)
• Suitable pressure range: low-pressure pneumatic applications (refer to equipment limits)
• Flexibility: designed for easy routing and reduced kinking

How to use

Cut the hose end squarely using a sharp hose cutter or utility knife to ensure a clean connection. Fit with compatible 5x8 mm pneumatic fittings or quick couplers and tighten according to the fitting manufacturer’s instructions. When connecting to a compressor or air tool, ensure the system is depressurised before attaching or detaching fittings. Route the hose to avoid sharp edges, excessive heat sources and moving parts that could abrade or pinch the hose. Periodically inspect the hose for wear, cuts or swelling and replace it if damage is detected.

Usage recommendations

Use the hose within the equipment manufacturer's recommended pressure limits and avoid exposure to open flame or prolonged sunlight. For outdoor use, protect the hose from direct UV exposure and store it coiled in a shaded, dry place when not in use. For longer service life, avoid running compressed air with high oil or solvent concentrations unless the fluid compatibility of PE has been confirmed for the specific chemicals involved.
