Goodyear 54035001215019 Blue PVC Air Hose
Air hoses used to deliver compressed air from an air compressor to a pneumatic tool are usually made of rubber, polyurethane, or polyvinyl chloride (commonly known as PVC). Each of these has its own pros and cons, and it is often difficult to choose from among the three. If you are still trying to decide, check out the Goodyear 54035001215019 Blue PVC Air hose and see how it feels in your hands.
PVC air hoses are typically lighter than those made of rubber though a little heavier than polyurethanes, yet they can hold their own against the other two types in terms of durability, strength, and convenience of use. This is true with the Goodyear Blue PVC hose. The PVC plastic tube of the hose is reinforced with a spiral synthetic yarn that gives it added strength.
With a working pressure rated at 300 PSI, the Goodyear air hose can have a wide range of uses including construction, industries, agriculture, and even mild chemical applications. Burst pressure is rated at 900 PSI. It can operate without issues even at extreme temperatures starting at a low of -10°F to a high of 158°F.
Even at freezing or scorching temperatures, the hose resists cracking and hardening. It is also kink-free thus allowing an unimpeded flow of air. Since PVC is not biodegradable, you need not worry about rotting. As long as you take care not to puncture the hose, it will remain serviceable for quite a long time.
