Air Hose and Water Hose for Every Setup

The difference between a good air or water hose and a bad one tends to show up under pressure, literally. A hose that kinks under a 20-bar compressed air supply, or one that stiffens in cold weather and cracks at the fittings, is a maintenance problem waiting to happen. It's worth getting the spec right first time.

For compressed air, rubber hose is the standard choice. It handles the pressure, stays flexible in cold conditions, and doesn't degrade with repeated use the way PVC can. Polyurethane is lighter and more abrasion-resistant, which makes it popular for portable use and workshop environments. PVC is fine for low-pressure water runs and general transfer where flexibility at low temperatures isn't a concern. Learn more in our guide: What is the Best Type of Water Hose for Water Supply?

Bore size and working pressure matter more than most buyers expect. A hose that's slightly undersized for your flow rate will cause pressure drop across the line. Check the technical data on each product page before ordering, it's all there.

We also stock a full range of fittings, connectors, and couplings to go with the hose. If you need a complete hose assembly, we can supply that too.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of air hose is best for a compressor?

Rubber is the most durable choice for workshop compressor lines. It handles high pressure, stays pliable in cold temperatures, and has a longer service life than PVC. Polyurethane is a good option if you need something lighter for portable use.

Can I use the same hose for air and water?

Some hoses are rated for both, but not all. Always check the product specification for approved media before using a hose for anything other than its listed application.

What length and bore do I need?

Bore size affects flow rate and pressure. Longer runs lose pressure, so a larger bore compensates over distance. The product pages list working pressures and bore sizes, use those to match your system requirements.

How do I stop my air hose whipping?

Hose whip at the connection point is usually caused by a loose or worn coupling. Use a whip check safety cable and inspect connections before use. Learn more in our guide: How Do You Stop an Air Hose From Whipping?
