Product Information

Full details

The Sealey Air Leader Hose (AH2R) is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts using air tools that require a flexible connection to the air supply. Its primary benefit is protecting air tool couplings from vibration damage, thereby extending their lifespan and ensuring a more stable connection. A potential caveat is that its 600mm length may not be suitable for all workspace configurations. This 600mm x Ø8mm rubber hose features an integrated tailpiece and a 1/4" BSP female union, providing a durable link between your air tool and the main air line.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of this leader hose?

The primary purpose is to act as a flexible, vibration-dampening link between your air tool and the main air supply, protecting the tool's couplings from damage.

What size is the BSP fitting?

The hose is supplied with a 1/4" BSP female union.

Will this hose fit any air tool?

It is designed for air tools with a 1/4" BSP male air inlet. The included tailpiece connects to standard barb fittings on the tool.

Can I use this hose for high-pressure applications?

This hose is intended for standard pneumatic air tool use. It is not rated for high-pressure industrial applications beyond typical workshop tool requirements.

How should I clean the hose?

Wipe the hose with a damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive materials that could damage the rubber.

What is the length of the hose?

The hose is 600mm (approximately 2 feet) in length.

Does the hose come with a tailpiece?

Yes, the Sealey Air Leader Hose AH2R is supplied complete with a tailpiece and a 1/4" BSP female union.

Troubleshooting

Air leak at connection point

Ensure both the 1/4" BSP union and the tailpiece are securely tightened. Check for damaged threads or O-rings. If using a clamp on the tailpiece, ensure it's tight.

Reduced air flow to the tool

Verify the hose is not kinked or crushed. Check that the bore size (Ø8mm) is adequate for the tool's air requirements. Inspect the tool's inlet and the hose tailpiece for blockages.

Hose feels stiff or brittle

This may indicate exposure to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, or prolonged UV light. Inspect for cracks. Consider replacing the hose if flexibility is compromised.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces stress on air tool couplings, preventing premature wear and failure.
  • Flexible rubber construction absorbs vibrations for a smoother operation.
  • Comes ready to use with standard 1/4" BSP fittings and a tailpiece.
  • Enhances the lifespan of connected air tools by protecting their fittings.

Cons

  • The 600mm length might be too short for some applications requiring extended reach.
  • Rubber can be susceptible to degradation from certain chemicals or excessive UV exposure over time.
  • Not designed for high-pressure applications beyond standard pneumatic tool use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the air compressor or air line is turned off and depressurized.
  2. Connect the 1/4" BSP female union end of the hose to the air outlet on your compressor, regulator, or main air line.
  3. Attach the tailpiece end of the hose to the air inlet on your pneumatic tool. Ensure a snug fit.
  4. Once connected, slowly reintroduce air pressure and check for leaks.

Compatibility:

  • Air Tools: Compatible with most pneumatic tools featuring a 1/4" BSP male air inlet. The included tailpiece typically fits standard hose barb fittings found on air tools.
  • Air Supply: Suitable for connection to standard workshop air compressors and air lines with 1/4" BSP male outlets.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the hose clean with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the hose away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and sharp objects to prevent material degradation and damage. Coil loosely to avoid kinks.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of cracking, cuts, or wear, especially near the fittings. Replace if any damage is found.
