Legacy LP1424014 Polyurethane Recoil Hose
Polyurethane is a resilient, durable, and flexible material that comes in various forms. It can be hard, spongy, liquid, sticky, or bouncy. It is used in a long list of applications from airplane wings, car seats, furniture, floors, to air hoses, like the Legacy LP1424014 Polyurethane Recoil Hose.
Being made of polyurethane the Legacy LP1424014 is extremely lightweight. At this particular model’s length of 20 feet with a diameter of ΒΌ inch, it weighs only a single pound. It is colored bright blue to make it visible even in cluttered work environments. To minimize the possibility of tripping on it or getting stepped on or rolled over by carts, it is coiled thus allowing it to automatically retract after use. The hose doesn’t tangle and is resistant to kinking and abrasions.
The small diameter of the hose allows for ease of storage without excessively taking up valuable space in the garage. The threads on the swivel fittings are pre-sealed to prevent possible air leaks and loss of pressure.
Polyurethane, by its very properties and construction, resists oil, grease, and corrosive chemicals. It is for this reason that the LP1424014 is expected to remain clean even with workers wearing soiled and greasy gloves handling it. As it is corrosion resistant, it is expected to outlive other hoses made of other materials. Also, it has excellent flexibility as well as recoil memory making it immediately assume its original coiled condition almost immediately after it is let go.
Having a working pressure of 125 PSI, the Legacy LP1424014 Polyurethane Recoil Hose can supply the compressed air needed by most pneumatic tools including nailers, drills, grinders, and air ratchets.
