Air Compressor Hose in bulk length without fittings
Coil or reel length with open ends. The buyer still states ID, working pressure and cover.
Independent factory sourcing
air compressor hose
Air Compressor Hose Sourcing is an independent desk for US business buyers who need factory quotes on air compressor hose. We do not manufacture hose, hold a warehouse, install a reel, or publish a price list. A complete brief names inner diameter, working pressure in psi, end style, length, quantity and destination so more than one factory can answer the same line.
Lock four axes before anyone quotes
Factories fill gaps when a buyer only writes “shop air hose.” Adjacent families such as hydraulic hose use different pressure classes and coupling standards. For air compressor hose the purchasing object is a compressed-air transfer line, not a hydraulic circuit and not a reel-install job.
- Bore. State inner diameter in inches or millimetres (1/4, 3/8, 1/2 or 3/4 are common shop sizes; they are not interchangeable flow lines).
- Pressure. Ask the supplier to confirm working pressure in psi (and bar if that is how their catalogue is written). A typical shop pneumatic example in industry tables is about 10 bar; that figure is a question, not a rating this desk reprints as its own.
- Seal / cover material. Rubber, PVC, hybrid or polyurethane jackets behave differently around oil mist, abrasion and cold. The buyer keeps that choice; we only write it into the request.
- Connector type. Thread, barb, crimped end or a named quick-connect interchange. Mixing Industrial, ARO-style and Lincoln-style plugs on one floor is a buyer decision, not a silent factory default.
What separates air compressor hose from neighbouring options
These columns are check questions. They are not published hardness, burst or temperature figures for any option on this site. Open the air hose fittings cards or the request checklist when the wording on a catalogue page still mixes families.
| Thermal | Chemical | Mechanical | Compliance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ask service temperature in °F or °C with the compressed-air medium. A cover rated for indoor shop air is not automatically a yard-reel cover. | State whether the cover sees compressor oil mist, solvents or only dry air. Oil swell is a compound question, not a brand claim. | State reinforcement (textile braid vs spiral) and whether the line is bulk hose or a cut-to-length assembly. Burst multiple is a factory answer against the working pressure you wrote. | Name the SAE / ASTM or equivalent method you want cited on the lot. A plant ISO 9001 certificate is not a substitute for the hose line. |
| Cold-flex and hot-flex are different requests; leave either blank and the factory will pick a catalogue default. | Food-contact or drinking-water files, if needed, must name the grade and lot. This desk does not certify FDA 21 CFR 177. | Abrasion sleeves and hose wrap are optional extras. Write them as a separate line if they travel with the hose. | REACH / RoHS / Prop 65 statements belong to the quoted item. They are not badges of Air Compressor Hose Sourcing. |
| Outdoor UV exposure is a cover-compound question. Do not transfer greenhouse-film UV language onto a hose RFQ. | Do not copy a hydraulic oil compatibility table onto a shop-air line without the factory confirming the compound. | Bend radius and reel drum diameter belong on the request if the hose will live on an air compressor hose reel. | IATF or automotive files apply only when the buyer names that program. They are not implied by “industrial hose.” |
Inquiry forms inside this family
Five reviewed options. Cards open the RFQ form. Ratings, certificates, lead time and price stay subject to supplier confirmation.
Air Compressor Hose with crimped or swaged end fittings
Hose plus factory-attached ends. Name thread or interchange; do not write “standard fitting.”
Reinforced Air Compressor Hose inquiry option
Ask the factory which braid or spiral they intend. Reinforcement is not a marketing adjective.
Air Compressor Hose with protective wrap or sleeve
Wrap or sleeve is a second line: material, length covered, and whether it is factory applied.
Cut-to-length Air Compressor Hose assembly inquiry
Each length needs its own quantity. Mixed lengths in one lump cannot be compared across factories.
What the buyer still decides
Documents to request from the factory — not site badges
SAE or ASTM method named on the line
Dimensional / ID confirmation
Working pressure confirmation in psi
Material declaration for the quoted cover
REACH / RoHS statement for that item if the receiving plant needs it
Send the same brief to more than one factory
Comparison is of total procurement cost on the same quantity, packing, Incoterms and document set. This desk does not publish a percentage against an unnamed market price.
