Grounding Strap PAWBOL R.8180 for 1/8–3/8" hose, electrostatic discharge connection

PAWBOL grounding strap R.8180 is designed to provide a reliable electrostatic discharge connection for hoses with an outer diameter range of 1/8–3/8". The strap attaches securely to the hose and establishes a conductive path to earth, reducing the risk of static charge buildup during fluid transfer, pneumatic operations or other processes where insulating materials and moving fluids can generate static electricity. The product is intended for industrial, workshop and maintenance environments where electrostatic discharge control is required.

Advantages

The grounding strap offers a compact, easy-to-install solution that fits a common range of hose diameters without the need for tooling or hose modification. Constructed to maintain good electrical contact under typical operating conditions, it supports safe dissipation of static charges and helps meet workplace ESD control practices. Its design allows quick attachment and repositioning along the hose as needed.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Grounding hoses used for fuel, solvents or other conductive/semiconductive fluids during transfer
• Pneumatic lines and hoses in workshops and industrial workshops where ESD prevention is needed
• Maintenance operations involving hoses connected to pumps, tanks or filling equipment
• Temporary or permanent ESD grounding during testing, servicing or assembly tasks

Key specifications

• Compatible hose outer diameter range: 1/8–3/8"
• Function: provides a conductive path for electrostatic discharge to earth
• Attachment type: strap designed for secure hose contact and electrical continuity
• Typical environment: industrial, workshop, maintenance use where ESD control is required
• Operating principle: clamps or straps onto hose outer surface to maintain grounding contact

How to use

Position the grounding strap around the hose at a point between the hose source and the point of fluid transfer, ensuring full contact between the conductive element of the strap and the hose exterior. Secure the strap so it maintains firm, continuous contact without compressing or deforming the hose. Connect the strap’s earth lead or terminal to a verified grounding point or grounding system that provides a low-resistance path to earth. Verify continuity with an appropriate tester after installation and periodically during use to ensure reliable discharge of static electricity.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the strap and grounding connection regularly for wear, corrosion or loss of conductivity. Replace the strap if its contact surface or connection components are damaged. Do not rely on the strap alone in environments requiring certified ESD control procedures; integrate it into the site’s grounding and bonding program and follow applicable safety standards and local regulations.
