Legacy HEPU14100YW2 Workforce Polyurethane Air Hose
Polyurethane is an extremely tough and durable yet flexible and elastic material that comes in different forms. It can be a liquid like paint, or a solid. When solid, it can be soft and squishy like sponge, hard like fiberglass, or elastic like rubber. Owing to this characteristic, polyurethane can be used in a great number of applications. Among them is its use as the Legacy HEPU14100YW2 Workforce Polyurethane Air Hose.
The Legacy Workforce air hose is a lightweight tool and hence is convenient to handle and work with. It is certainly lighter than rubber hoses of similar size and may even be lighter than its cousins made of polyvinyl chloride or PVC. Contributing to its ease of handling is its flexibility, which allows you to work in tight spaces and awkward positions.
Designed to work in the harsh environments of construction sites, automotive shops and garages, as well as in industrial settings, the Workforce air hose is exceedingly resistant to abrasions and scratches. While dropping heavy tools on any hose or running them over with your tool carts should be avoided, the Legacy Workforce can take a few of these kinds of punishments. Of course, avoiding these altogether will contribute to its longevity.
The surface of the air hose is smooth making it virtually impervious to oil, grease, and even some chemicals. When smeared with them, all you need to do is wipe them off with a piece of clean cloth and your hose is as good as new. Also because of this, the hose is non-marring, which means you can use it to work with projects using sensitive materials, such as furniture work, framing, and arts and crafts.
With a maximum working pressure of 300 PSI, you can use the air hose with practically all air-powered hand-held tools such as nailers, grinders, ratchets, and paint spray guns among many others. The hose works in extreme temperature ranging from -10° to 150°F, allowing its use for industrial applications. Its ¼-inch fittings are reusable allowing quick and easy field repair.
While the Legacy Workforce comes in several sizes, the HEPU1410YW2 has a diameter of ¼ inch and length of 100 feet. It weighs 5 pounds.
