Product Information

Full details

The AB Tools TF511 Rubber Air Line is a professional-grade solution designed for both commercial mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, high-flow air delivery system. Its primary strength lies in the high-content rubber construction, which provides exceptional flexibility and durability even in extreme temperature fluctuations, though users should note that the 15-metre length and rubber weight make it heavier than standard budget plastic alternatives.

FAQs

Can this hose be used for spray painting?

Yes, but ensure your air supply is properly filtered for moisture and oil to prevent contamination of the finish.

What is the maximum working pressure?

The hose has a working pressure rating of 20 Bar.

Are the fittings included?

Yes, it comes equipped with 2 x 3/8 inch BSP male fittings at both ends.

Is this hose suitable for garden use?

No, this is an industrial air hose and is not rated for water irrigation or potable water supply.

What should I do if the hose is punctured?

For safety reasons, damaged or punctured air hoses should be replaced. Do not attempt to tape or patch high-pressure airline punctures.

Will this hose kink easily?

No, the high-content rubber and internal braiding are specifically designed to resist kinking during normal workshop use.

Troubleshooting

Air leakage at the fitting connection

Ensure the BSP fitting is tightened securely and consider using PTFE (plumber's) tape on the threads for a better seal.

Hose feels stiff or rigid

While the hose is designed for cold resistance, extreme cold can cause slight stiffening; move the hose to a warmer area for a few minutes to regain full flexibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Retains flexibility in cold weather unlike PVC alternatives
  • High-visibility color prevents tripping hazards
  • Reinforced braid handles high pressure tasks safely
  • Oil-resistant outer layer prevents degradation
  • Generous 15-metre reach for large workshops

Cons

  • Heavier than plastic or nylon hoses
  • Requires additional quick-connect adapters for some tool setups
  • Not intended for food-grade or drinking water applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your air hose, inspect the 3/8 inch BSP fittings for any debris before attachment to your compressor or pneumatic tool. While the hose comes with male ends, many users may choose to install quick-release female couplings on the outlet end for rapid tool changes.

Care Instructions:

  1. Always coil the hose loosely after use to prevent internal kinking.
  2. Keep away from sharp metal edges or hot exhaust pipes.
  3. Wipe down with a clean, dry cloth after exposure to lubricants or hydraulic fluids.
  4. Store in a cool, dry area when not in use for extended periods to maximize the lifespan of the rubber compound.
