Hose GEKO 7128318 PU reinforced 8x12 mm 10 m - air and fluid transfer

GEKO 7128318 is a reinforced polyurethane (PU) hose with an 8 mm inner diameter and 12 mm outer diameter, 10 m long, designed for compressed air and general fluid transfer. The hose combines good low-temperature flexibility and abrasion resistance with polyester-fibre reinforcement for improved pressure handling and durability.

Advantages

The PU material provides high elasticity and resistance to wear, while the polyester fibre reinforcement increases tensile strength and pressure capacity up to 20 bar. The hose remains flexible at low temperatures and resists kinking, making it easy to handle with pneumatic tools and in workshop environments. A 1/4" quick connector simplifies attachment to fittings and tools.

Suitable for

• Supplying compressed air to pneumatic tools (impact wrenches, nailers, air drills)
• General fluid transfer in workshop and industrial settings
• Automotive maintenance and repair tasks
• Use in environments requiring flexible, abrasion-resistant hoses

When it may not be suitable

This hose is intended primarily for compressed air and general fluid applications; it may not be appropriate for aggressive chemical transfer or potable water supply. For continuous use at or near the maximum rated pressure (20 bar) or at temperature extremes, select equipment and fittings rated for those conditions and inspect regularly for wear.

Key specifications

• Material: Polyurethane with polyester fibre reinforcement
• Inner diameter: 8 mm
• Outer diameter: 12 mm
• Length: 10 m
• Maximum working pressure: up to 20 bar
• Temperature range: -40°C to +70°C
• End connection: 1/4" quick connector

How to use

Connect the 1/4" quick connector to the compressor or tool fitting and ensure a secure, leak-free joint. Lay out the hose without tight bends or kinks and avoid dragging it over sharp edges. After use, relieve system pressure before disconnecting and store the hose coiled in a dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat or chemicals.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility of the 8 mm inner diameter and 1/4" connector with your tools and fittings
• Check that the maximum pressure (20 bar) and temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) meet your application requirements
• Consider required hose length and whether 10 m is sufficient for your workspace

Usage recommendations

Use the hose for compressed air and non-aggressive fluid transfer in workshops and automotive settings. Regularly inspect for wear, avoid exposure to sharp edges and chemicals, and do not exceed the specified pressure and temperature limits to ensure safe, long service life.
