Product Description

The Amflo 577-50A green rubber/PVC air hose has a 3/8" ID and is 50 ft. long. Its green tube and cover are made of a blend of rubber and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) in order to combine the flexibility of rubber with the lighter weight of PVC. Its braided nylon synthetic 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 -10 to +150 degrees F. It comes equipped with two 1/4" factory-installed, brass male National Pipe Thread Taper (NPT) swivel fittings with PVC (polyvinyl chloride) bend restrictors that reduce twisting and bending, increasing the life of the hose. This hose is suitable for a wide range of contracting and industrial applications.Industrial hoses transfer or convey air or liquid in hose systems. When selecting industrial hoses, use the STAMPED method: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.Plews & Edelmann manufactures automotive and pneumatic hose, lines, reels, accessories, fittings, and lubricants under the Edelmann, Amflo, Omega, LubriMatic, and UltraLube brands.
