This 0.6m (2ft) AB Tools Anti Whip Spray Leader Hose is designed for users of air tools, particularly those experiencing vibration. Its key benefit is to significantly reduce the transfer of vibration from the tool to the coupling, enhancing safety and user comfort, though it adds a slight length to the tool setup. The hose features a 7mm internal diameter, 14mm external diameter, and a working pressure of 21BAR, incorporating a 1/4" BSP male thread, a standard range male fitting, and a female PCL style coupler.

Anti-whip hoses, or leader hoses, are crucial for safety as they absorb vibration from air tools. This prevents stress on couplings and air lines, reducing the risk of disconnection and potential injury, and complies with safety regulations like ISO 4414.
The male 1/4" BSP thread is typically designed to connect to the air tool's inlet port. The standard range male fitting on the other end connects to the tool itself, while the female PCL coupler connects to your main air supply hose.
Safety standards like the HSE Guide HS(G) 39 and ISO 6150:1998 recommend a minimum of 300mm (0.3m) to 1m of flexible hose between a vibrating tool and a quick-acting coupling. This 0.6m hose falls within that recommended range.
This hose is suitable for most pneumatic tools, especially those that vibrate. However, ensure your tool has a 1/4" BSP inlet and your air supply hose has a compatible PCL style plug.
The hose has a maximum working pressure of 21 BAR (approximately 300 PSI).
Regularly inspect the hose for damage, keep fittings clean, and store it properly away from sharp objects and extreme temperatures. Wipe it with a damp cloth for cleaning.
Check that both the BSP thread and the PCL coupler are securely tightened. Inspect seals and O-rings for damage and replace if necessary.
Ensure the hose is not kinked or obstructed. Check the internal diameter (7mm) and ensure it is sufficient for the tool's air requirement. Clean any debris from the fittings.
Verify that both the plug on the air hose and the female coupler on the leader hose are clean and free from debris. Ensure they are the correct PCL style compatible type.
