Hose Hoses NKU-605B, Poly Urethane - Nitto Kohki 317760540

At the workstation the hose decides how freely a pneumatic tool can be handled. The NKU and NKC hose lines are made of polyurethane and stay flexible instead of stiffening in the hand.

• Polyurethane hose stays flexible and follows edges and corners at the workstation without force
• Polyurethane is light compared with rubber hose, which relieves the hand and the tool in continuous use
• Seals in nitrile rubber (NBR), the standard material for compressed air lines
• Two ranges, NKU and NKC, in several versions, so the line is selected to suit the workstation rather than cut to length

Models in this series NK CUPLA HOSE Series

Every model of the series as printed in the manufacturer catalogue. The row of the article offered here is highlighted.

Operating principle

• Air line coupling with air blower function (DUSTER CUPLA)
• Three functions in one: connection, air blow, hose twist release! Dust blow without detaching the tool!
• HI CUPLA comes with compact air blow function.
• Improves job efficiency by air blow with tool still connected to hose.
• Ball bearing swivel mechanism prevents hose twist and relieves tension on operator's hand.
• Special design of air blow button switch is free from in line air pressure - no hard press down required.
• Also simple is routine water drain from air line before starting daily work.
• Couplings with polyurethane hose for air lines (NK CUPLA HOSE / NK CUPLA COIL HOSE)

Series comparison

Choose this series when the job calls for a ready made air line rather than a loose coupling: NK CUPLA HOSE and NK CUPLA COIL HOSE are supplied as polyurethane hose assemblies with a HI CUPLA ACE or FULL BLOW CUPLA socket at one end and a NUT CUPLA plug at the other, and DUSTER CUPLA adds the air blow button switch and the ball bearing swivel. All versions are one-way shut-off and for air only, at 1.0 MPa {10 kgf/cm2} for the straight hose and 0.7 MPa {7 kgf/cm2} for the coil hose, so a line running up to 1.5 MPa {15 kgf/cm2} calls for HI CUPLA BL, NUT CUPLA, LOCK CUPLA 200 or ROTARY LINE CUPLA instead. Where liquid spillage on disconnection has to be limited, COMPACT ZEROSPILL CUPLA is the two-way shut-off alternative at 1.0 MPa {10 kgf/cm2}.

Body and seal materials

Applications

• Connection between a wall outlet or manifold and the pneumatic tool
• Assembly and test stations where the line is moved every day
• Mobile workstations and tool trolleys that change position
• Replacement of damaged hose lines on existing couplings

Safety and application notes

• Before use, please be sure to read "Safety Guide" described at the end of this book and "Instruction Sheet" that comes with the products.
• To mount on urethane hose, slide it over to the hose barb and tighten the nut until it is flush against the hose barb base.
• It is recommended that grease is applied to the inside of the nut (threaded part and hose contact part) for easy tightening.
