Campbell Hausfeld PA1813 Rubber Air Hose
Rubber is one of the earliest materials used for the construction of hoses, whether for water, chemicals, or compressed air. In spite of the availability of hoses crafted from other materials such as polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride or PVC, rubber hoses remain popular. Although rubber hoses are generally heavier than their non-rubber cousins, they are sturdy and durable, and they have a soft feel that is often not found in either polyurethanes or polyvinyl chlorides. Among the rubber hoses available in the market today is the Campbell Hausfeld PA1813 Rubber Air Hose.
The Campbell Hausfeld PA1813 is a 50-foot long hose with an internal diameter of ? of an inch. At 8.25 pounds, the hose is relatively lightweight. The ends of the hose are equipped with ¼-inch NPT fittings for easy connection with an air compressor and any pneumatic tool.
Like most rubber hoses, the PA1813 has a soft surface that is comfortable to the grip. It is resistant to oil, dust, and other debris which makes it easy to clean. All that is needed is a good wipe with a clean piece of cloth to keep it looking like new. It is highly resistant to kinking thus assuring a constant and uninterrupted flow of air. It also resists abrasions.
Regardless of weather conditions, whether in freezing winters or scorching summers, the Campbell Hausfeld PA 1813 Rubber Air Hose remains flexible. Indeed, it can operate from minus 20 to 200°F without losing its flexibility. With a maximum working pressure of 300 PSI, it can easily take on the pressure required by most pneumatic tools used by both DIYers and professionals.
Colored in bright red, it is easy to spot the hose even when lying across the floor of a garage or shop with plenty of tools and equipment scattered all over the area. This helps avoid getting accidentally tripped by it thus avoiding injuries, as well as stepping or running tool cabinet carts over it which can cause it damage.
