Product Information
Full details
The AB Tools 10M Air Hose (TF157) is designed for professional mechanics, DIY enthusiasts, and industrial users who require a robust, reliable connection for their air compressors or retractable reel systems. The primary benefit of this hose is its reinforced construction, which provides exceptional resistance to oil, water, and harsh weather conditions, ensuring long-term durability in demanding work environments. A notable caveat is that its 8mm internal diameter, while perfect for most pneumatic tools, may not be sufficient for high-volume, continuous airflow applications that require larger diameter hoses.

FAQs
Can this hose be used for water transfer?
No, this hose is specifically designed for compressed air applications and should not be used to transport water or other liquids.
What is the maximum pressure this hose can handle?
The hose has a working pressure of 20 Bar and a burst pressure of 80 Bar.
Does this include the quick-connect couplings?
The hose features 1/4" BSP brass fittings. Depending on your specific tools, you may need to attach standard quick-connect male/female adapters.
Can I connect two of these hoses together?
Yes, you can join them using a standard 1/4" BSP double-male connector, though this may result in a slight pressure drop over the longer distance.
Is the hose kink-resistant?
The reinforced braiding provides significant resistance to kinking, though extreme bending should still be avoided to maintain the hose's longevity.
Troubleshooting
Air leaking from the connection points
Check that the brass fittings are properly threaded and tightened. If leaks persist, ensure the O-rings or seals inside your quick-connect couplings are not worn out.
Hose feeling stiff or difficult to coil
Hoses can become stiff in cold temperatures. Allow the hose to reach room temperature before attempting to coil it for storage.
Pros and Cons

- Durable reinforced braiding
- High visibility for increased safety
- Resistant to oil, water, and weather
- Reliable brass 1/4" BSP fittings
- Strong burst pressure rating
Cons
- 8mm diameter may restrict high-CFM tools
- Not intended for non-pneumatic fluid transfer
- 10m fixed length may be too short for large workshops
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, simply connect the 1/4" BSP brass fittings to your air compressor output and your pneumatic tool or retractable reel inlet. Ensure the connections are tightened securely with a wrench, but avoid over-tightening as this may damage the brass threads.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with most standard air compressors.
- Fits standard 1/4" BSP quick-connect couplings and tools.
- Suitable for both wall-mounted retractable reels and portable compressor configurations.
Care Instructions:
- Inspect the hose periodically for signs of abrasion or cuts in the outer casing.
- Avoid dragging the hose over sharp metallic edges or hot surfaces.
- When not in use, coil the hose neatly to prevent kinks and maintain its shape.
- Store in a clean, dry area if the hose is not being used for an extended period.
