Description
Air Compressors UK — Professional Grade
25m Reinforced Compressed Air Hose
8mm (5/16") ID × 15mm OD
Engineered for demanding pneumatic environments. 25 metres of heavy-duty reinforced PVC air line — rated to 21 Bar (300 PSI) with a 63 Bar (900 PSI) burst threshold. Supplied as a continuous coil, ready for permanent installation or custom-cut air systems.
“The benchmark for professional compressed air distribution. Where consistent bore geometry meets industrial-grade reinforcement — delivering unrestricted airflow across every metre of your installation.”
Engineering Excellence
Key Features
Smooth-Bore Airflow
Precision 8mm internal bore minimises turbulence and pressure drop, ensuring pneumatic tools receive full rated pressure at the point of use.
Textile-Reinforced PVC
High-strength textile braid bonded within the PVC wall resists kinking, crushing and pressure surge — maintaining structural integrity under continuous duty cycles.
3:1 Safety Factor
63 Bar burst pressure against a 21 Bar working rating delivers a 3:1 safety margin — exceeding standard workshop and industrial safety requirements.
Wide Temperature Range
Rated −15°C to +60°C — performs reliably in unheated workshops through summer industrial environments without plasticiser migration or wall hardening.
Cut-to-Length Versatility
Supplied as a 25m continuous coil — cut to any required length for bespoke airline installations. Compatible with standard 1/4" BSP hose tail fittings.
Abrasion-Resistant Jacket
Black outer jacket withstands workshop floor abrasion, oil splash and UV exposure — maintaining appearance and integrity in high-traffic environments.

Expert Guidance
Installation Notes
01 — Fittings
Pair with 8mm (5/16") hose tail fittings and 1/4" BSP threaded connectors. Use PTFE tape on all threaded joints for an airtight seal.
02 — Cutting
Use a sharp hose cutter or fine-tooth hacksaw for a clean, square cut. Deburr the bore before fitting to prevent restriction.
03 — Routing
Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius. Use hose clips or P-clips every 500mm for fixed installations to prevent sag and vibration fatigue.
04 — Pressure Test
After installation, pressure-test at working pressure and inspect all joints for leaks before committing to full operation.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What fittings are compatible with this hose?
This hose is designed for use with 8mm (5/16") hose tail fittings and 1/4" BSP threaded connectors — the UK industry standard for compressed air systems. Fittings are sold separately in our store.
Can I use this hose with an oil-lubricated compressor?
Yes. The reinforced PVC construction is compatible with standard compressor oil carry-over levels found in lubricated piston and rotary screw compressors. For high oil-content applications, consider a rubber hose alternative.
Is this hose suitable for outdoor use?
The black outer jacket offers good UV resistance for occasional outdoor use. For permanent outdoor installations, we recommend protecting the hose from prolonged direct sunlight and storing coiled when not in use.
Can I cut this hose to a shorter length?
Absolutely. The 25m coil can be cut to any required length using a sharp hose cutter. This makes it ideal for bespoke airline installations where multiple drops are needed from a single coil.
What is the flow capacity at 6 Bar?
An 8mm bore hose at 6 Bar (87 PSI) delivers approximately 150–180 litres per minute free air — sufficient for most pneumatic hand tools including impact wrenches, grinders and spray guns.
