Product Information

Full details

This AB Tools PCL Anti Whip Hose is designed for professionals seeking to enhance safety and tool longevity in pneumatic systems. Its primary benefit is reducing vibration transmitted to air tools and couplings, thereby preventing damage and adhering to health and safety recommendations. A potential caveat is its specific length and diameter, which may not suit all applications. Key features include a 0.6m length, 7mm inner diameter, 1/4" BSP male thread, and a standard male fitting.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of an anti-whip hose?

An anti-whip hose, or whip hose, is designed to absorb vibrations and prevent them from transferring directly to the air tool and its operator. This helps prevent damage to the tool, reduces operator fatigue, and is a recommended safety practice.

What size is the thread on this hose?

One end has a 1/4" BSP male thread, and the other end features a standard male fitting commonly used for air line connections.

What is the working pressure of this hose?

The hose has a working pressure of 21 BAR (approximately 300 PSI).

Can this hose be used with any air tool?

It is compatible with most standard air tools that accept a 1/4" BSP male thread connection. Ensure the tool's air consumption is compatible with the hose's 7mm inner diameter and your air supply.

What is the temperature range for this hose?

The hose is designed to operate within a temperature range of -10°C to 60°C.

How long is the hose?

The hose is 0.6 meters (approximately 2 feet) long.

What is the inner diameter of the hose?

The inner diameter of the hose is 7mm (or 1/4 inch).

Troubleshooting

Air leak at connection points

Ensure threads are clean and properly seated. Tighten connections securely but do not overtighten. Check seals or O-rings if applicable on the female coupler side.

Reduced airflow or tool performance

Verify that the hose is not kinked or obstructed. Check that the inner diameter (7mm) is sufficient for the tool's requirements. Ensure the primary air supply has adequate pressure and volume.

Hose appears damaged or worn

Immediately discontinue use and replace the hose. Continued use of a damaged hose can lead to failure and potential injury.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces vibration transmitted to air tools, prolonging tool life.
  • Contributes to a safer working environment by adhering to health and safety guidelines.
  • Robust construction with high working and burst pressures for reliability.
  • Standard fittings ensure broad compatibility with existing pneumatic setups.
  • Compact and flexible design for ease of use.

Cons

  • The 0.6m length may be too short for some specific workstation setups.
  • The 7mm inner diameter might restrict airflow for very high-demand tools.
  • Requires compatible 1/4" BSP threaded connections on both ends.
  • Black color may not be ideal for high-visibility needs in some industrial settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the air supply is turned off and depressurized.
  2. Thread the 1/4" BSP male end of the whip hose into the air inlet port of your tool. Hand-tighten firmly, or use a wrench for a secure connection if needed, being careful not to overtighten.
  3. Connect the standard male fitting on the other end of the whip hose to the female coupler on your main air supply line.
  4. Turn on the air supply and check for leaks at both connection points.

Compatibility:

  • Thread Size: Compatible with tools and air lines requiring a 1/4" BSP male thread on the tool side and a standard male fitting (typically a 1/4" Industrial or similar) on the supply side.
  • Air Pressure: Suitable for systems operating within the 21 BAR (approx. 300 PSI) working pressure limit.
  • Temperature: Ideal for environments between -10°C and 60°C.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of wear, cracking, or damage. Pay close attention to the crimped fitting and threaded connection.
  • Clean the exterior of the hose with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Store the hose in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and sharp objects when not in use.
  • Ensure connections are clean before attaching to prevent dirt ingress into the tool or air system.
