Air Hose GEKO G02968 PU 5x8 mm, 20 m, pneumatic hose

GEKO G02968 PU air hose, 5x8 mm, 20 m, is a polyurethane pneumatic hose designed for conveying compressed air in workshops, garages and light industrial settings. The hose combines a small inner diameter with flexibility and abrasion resistance, making it suitable for medium-pressure pneumatic installations and for connection to air compressors, pneumatic tools and fittings. Its 20 m length provides extended reach without frequent reconnections.

Advantages

The polyurethane construction offers good flexibility at a range of temperatures and increased resistance to abrasion compared with many rubber hoses. A 5 mm inner diameter with an 8 mm outer diameter keeps weight and bulk low while maintaining airflow suitable for most handheld air tools. The 20 m length reduces the need to move the compressor close to the work area and supports longer hose runs in workshop and garage environments.

Suitable for

• Supplying compressed air to handheld pneumatic tools (impact wrenches, air ratchets, nail guns) within medium-pressure ranges
• Connecting air compressors to fittings, couplers and pneumatic accessories in workshops and garages
• General workshop air distribution where a flexible, abrasion-resistant hose is required

When it may not be suitable

This hose is intended for medium-pressure pneumatic applications; it is not designed for high-pressure hydraulic systems or for conveying liquids, fuels or aggressive chemicals. Very high flow requirements or tools that demand larger bore hoses may experience pressure drop with a 5 mm inner diameter, so it may not be ideal for heavy industrial uses that require maximal airflow.

Key specifications

• Material: polyurethane (PU)
• Inner diameter: 5 mm
• Outer diameter: 8 mm
• Length: 20 m
• Application: pneumatic (compressed air)
• Characteristics: flexible, abrasion-resistant

How to use

Cut the hose to the required length if necessary, using a sharp hose cutter to ensure a clean end. Fit appropriate pneumatic fittings, couplers or quick-connect adapters rated for pneumatic use and clamp securely according to the fitting manufacturer’s instructions. Connect the hose to the compressor outlet and the tool, then check for leaks by applying system pressure and using soapy water or an approved leak detector. Store the coiled hose away from direct sunlight and sharp edges when not in use.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 5 mm inner diameter provides sufficient airflow for the intended tools and applications
• Verify compatibility of fittings and couplers with the hose outer diameter
• Confirm the hose working pressure range matches the pneumatic system requirements
• Consider required hose length and handling space in the workshop or garage

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this polyurethane hose with standard workshop compressors and handheld pneumatic tools within medium-pressure ranges; avoid sharp bends, kinks and exposure to aggressive chemicals. Regularly inspect for wear and replace the hose if cuts, deep abrasions or leaks appear.
