Goodyear Red Rubber Air Hose
Made of EPDM rubber, the Goodyear Red Rubber Air Hose is a sturdy and durable equipment with a long service life provided it is properly taken care of. The acronym EPDM stands for ethylene propylene diene Monomer, an elastomer which has a very wide range of uses. It is characterized by its excellent resistance to heat, oil, oxygen, ozone, and sunlight. It also resists polar materials, such as phosphate esters, ketones, and alcohol.
With a maximum operating pressure of 250 PSI, this Goodyear air hose can easily handle the compressed air pressure needed to run pneumatic tools including nail guns and staplers, impact wrenches, ratchets, jackhammers, drills, and air sprayers. Burst pressure in an extremely high 1,070 PSI.
Owing to its construction from EPDM, the hose has a service temperature that ranges from -54°C to 120°C, maintaining its strength and flexibility throughout these temperature levels. This means you can use the Goodyear hose anywhere from the Sahara to the Arctic without worrying if it can take the extreme temperatures. In addition to this, the hose also resists aging thus prolonging its useful service life.
Although rubber hoses are heavier than those made of either polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride, they are usually more pliable and have a softer feel. Because of their elasticity and resiliency, they are able to return to their original size and shape when bent or pressured beyond their normal form without any permanent damage.
The Goodyear Red Rubber Air Hose comes in a length of 50 feet. Internal diameter is ? of an inch with a machined brass ¼-inch NPT hose fitting.
