Compressed air hoses
At Tecniman we supply compressed air and pressure hoses, used in construction and public works. Compressed air and pressure hoses can also be used in air installations that require a working pressure of up to 20 bar.

High-strength, tough hoses for delivering air, water and oils according to the requirements of the industry. Highly durable and resistant to ozone and ageing. They are used in industries such as mining, petroleum, food and more.

Compressed air hoses: how to choose yours

A compressed air hose has to withstand the pressure of the compressor, the oil mist carried by the air and the rough treatment of the construction site or workshop. To choose one you need to look at three things: working pressure, inside diameter and use (pneumatic tool, public works, mining or robotics).

SBR rubber delivery hoses work from -25 °C to +70 °C, and the drilling hose from -40 °C to +80 °C.

Frequently asked questions about compressed air hoses

What pressure must a compressed air hose withstand?

At least the maximum pressure of the compressor. For workshops and pneumatic tools, 10 to 20 bar is usually enough; for high-flow construction compressors, mining and drilling there are 40 bar hoses.

What hose diameter do I need?

It depends on the air flow of the tool and the length of the run. Hand tools usually work with 6 to 13 mm; hammers, construction compressors and long lines need 19 mm or more to avoid losing pressure.

Rubber or polyurethane?

Rubber copes better with hard use, outdoor exposure and the compressor's oil mist. Polyurethane is lighter, more flexible and is the choice for robotics and automation.

Can the same hose be used for air and water?

Yes, the 10 and 20 bar air/water delivery hoses are designed to carry compressed air, water and inert fluids with small oil particles.

Which couplings do I need?

To connect to the network and to the tools, use couplings for compressed air, quick pneumatic fittings or Express couplings, secured with clamps.
