The main function of pneumatic tubing and hose is to deliver compressed air to actuators, valves, and other air tools.
Push-in fittings or couplings are usually attached to the hose or tubing and then connected to the compressed air tool. It is important to ensure that the fitting and tubing or hose are compatible with each other.
Factors to consider when selecting the right tubing or hose for your application
- Ease of installation
- Pressure-holding capacity
- Size and weight
- Corrosion resistance and cost
The following materials are commonly used to make pneumatic tubing and hose.
- Polyurethane
- PVC
- Nylon
- Polyethylene
- PTFE
