Elbow electrically conducting NW40 1K by Karcher, conductive vacuum hose elbow NW40

Karcher Elbow electrically conducting NW40 1K (MPN 2.889-172.0, EAN 4054278256634) is a conductive NW40 vacuum hose elbow intended to provide an electrically conductive connection between hose sections or accessories. Designed for use with NW40 systems, this elbow reduces static charge buildup during material extraction and cleaning processes. The component is suitable for professional and industrial environments where antistatic behavior helps lower the risk of electrostatic discharge and sparks.

Advantages

The elbow is manufactured to integrate into NW40 Karcher systems and offers continuous electrical conductivity along the connection path. Its design maintains compatibility with existing NW40 hoses and accessories while preserving airflow characteristics. By providing a conductive path, the elbow helps to dissipate static electricity generated by flowing particulate or dust, contributing to safer handling of combustible or sensitive materials. The part is compact and intended for straightforward installation without altering system layout.

Suitable for

• Antistatic vacuum installations in industrial and workshop environments
• Extraction of dust, powders and small particulates where static discharge is a concern
• Use with NW40 hose systems and compatible Karcher accessories
• Applications requiring a conductive connection between hose segments or fittings

Key specifications

• Brand: Karcher
• Manufacturer part number (MPN): 2.889-172.0
• EAN: 4054278256634
• Connection standard: NW40
• Function: Electrically conducting / antistatic elbow for vacuum hoses

How to use

Fit the elbow between two NW40-compatible hose ends or between a hose and a compatible accessory, ensuring secure mechanical connections. Verify that contact surfaces are clean and free of insulating debris to maintain electrical continuity. After installation, check that the overall hose routing and clamps are correctly positioned and that the conductive connection is not interrupted by non-conductive sleeves or insulating tape. Follow any site-specific grounding procedures required by your safety regulations.

Usage recommendations

Use this elbow in systems where maintaining electrical continuity is required. Periodically inspect the connection for wear, contamination or damage that could reduce conductivity. Avoid using insulating materials over the contact area and ensure system grounding is implemented according to local safety standards to achieve effective static dissipation.
