Common specifications

Key specifications

ID, OD, bend radius and weight are the A170 figures printed in Dixon's Industrial Hose catalogue. The catalogue lists the part numbers ending 20 as the 20 m coil (A17002520 and A17006520).

Selecting the right option

Match the hose to the highest pressure in the air system, not only the compressor setting, and choose fittings rated for the same pressure. The reinforcement is steel cord, so use crimp fittings made for steel cord hose and follow the manufacturer's assembly instructions. The cover is pin pricked so trapped gas can escape; do not seal it. For lighter duty, see the textile-reinforced air hoses in Related products.
