• General-purpose air hose for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications
• Blue PVC tube and cover for resistance to abrasion, weathering, moisture, alkalis and weak acids
• Braided nylon reinforcement for strength
• Temperature range of -20 to +145 degrees F
• Two 1/4" factory-installed, brass male NPT rigid fittings with PVC bend restrictors

The Amflo 554-100A blue premium PVC air hose has a 3/8" ID and is 100 ft. long. Its tube and cover are made of blue PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for resistance to abrasion, weathering, moisture, alkalis and weak acids. Its braided nylon reinforcement provides the strength necessary to reach and maintain its maximum pressure rating of 300 pounds per square inch (psi). This hose is capable of functioning effectively at temperatures ranging from -20 to +145 degrees F. It comes equipped with two 1/4" factory-installed brass male National Pipe Thread Taper (NPT) rigid fittings, with PVC (polyvinyl chloride) bend restrictors that increase the life of the hose. This hose is suitable for a wide range of commercial and industrial air-conveyance applications.

Industrial hoses transfer or convey air or liquid in hose systems. When selecting industrial hoses, use the STAMPED method: S = Size (ID, OD, and length) T = Temperature (maximum and minimum temperatures of material being transported) A = Application (industry or process) M = Material (to be conveyed, type and concentration) P = Pressure (maximum working pressure) E = Ends (type of end connectors or couplings on hose) D = Delivery method (volume and velocity)The inside diameter of the hose must be adequate to keep pressure loss to a minimum and avoid damage to the hose due to heat generation or excessive turbulence. The hose must be capable of withstanding the minimum and maximum temperatures that occur within the hose system. Some applications require specialized oils or chemicals to be conveyed through the system. In this case, hose selection must ensure compatibility of the hose tube, cover, couplings and O-rings with the fluid used. Industrial hoses are used in systems such as air compressors, automatic manufacturing operations, aircraft controls, and tire installation in industries including agriculture, mining, road construction, firefighting, and aviation.
