Why Choose a Merseyflex Air Hose

• Built to handle compressed air demands:Our air hoses are designed to transport compressed air under pressure, resist frequent flexing and withstand exposure to oils or chemicals often present in pneumatic systems.
• Choice of materials for different needs: While PVC hoses serve lighter-duty tasks, our rubber air hoses deliver superior durability, flexibility and resistance, ideal where longevity and reliability are critical.
• Flexibility and operator comfort: Hoses, including our super flex air hose are light, kink-resistant and very flexible, improving operator function and making them ideal for use on production lines and frequent tool changes.
• Ready-assembled & easy to fit: Many of our air hoses are supplied in standard lengths, with swaged Euro quick-release couplings already fitted, minimising setup time and ensuring airtight connections.

Our Air Hose Range

Whether you run a small garage or manage large-scale industrial operations, we stock air hoses suited to a broad range of applications:

• 20 bar compressor hoses: Available in standard 15m lengths, ready-assembled for immediate use. Great for typical workshop and automotive air tools.
  
• Long-length hoses: For applications requiring extended reach, such as production lines, plant maintenance or large-scale pneumatic systems. Our team can also offer bespoke welding and fabrication services, from design to delivery, providing long lasting, quality service.

Air Hose Materials

• Rubber air hose: Offers superior durability, abrasion resistance, excellent kink-resistance, wide temperature tolerance and reliable performance under heavy, continuous use. Rubber hoses are often the ideal choice for industrial, automotive or plant-level compressed air applications.
  
  
• PVC hoses: Often lighter and cheaper, PVC hoses are often used for lighter-duty tasks and small workshops, they may stiffen in cold conditions and are more susceptible to wear, however they are perfect for light use and are often more cost effective.

When to choose rubber: If you need durability, long service life, resistance to oils and chemicals, and dependability under pressure, rubber air hoses are almost always the better long-term investment.

Air Hose Applications

Our compressed air hoses are suitable for many applications:

• Automotive workshops: Powering impact wrenches, air ratchets, tyre inflators, spray guns, and more.
• Industrial manufacturing & production lines: Supplying compressed air to pneumatic tools or machinery.
• Construction and building sites: Nail guns, jackhammers and air hammers.

Our PVC air hoses are also suitable in general maintenance, plant servicing, pneumatic tool use, whilst our rubber air hoses are perfect for any environment that requires reliable air supply under pressure, with resistance to oil, chemicals or workshop hazards.

Tips for Maintenance & Prolonging Hose Life

A durable air hose is only part of the equation, proper maintenance ensures safety, reliability, and longevity.

At Merseyflex we recommend:

• Regular inspection, checking for cracks, abrasions, soft spots, leaks or damage.
• Correct storage to ensure there are no tight kinks or sharp bends which could contribute to poor lifespan, keeping the hose dry and clean, removing moisture, dust or debris.
• Regularly replacing your hose if you ever see persistent leaks, stiffness, cracking or compromised fittings.

Following proper maintenance will reduce downtime, improve safety and ensure consistent airflow for your pneumatic tools and systems.
