Solid rubber workshop hose »BluBird«, Ø20x13, 20 bar, set 10 m - Riegler 146501

Solid rubber workshop hose »BluBird«, hose Ø 20x13, temperature range -45 °C to 85 °C, max. 20 bar, thread G 1/2, set 10 m Highly flexible hose with four-finger plastic handle and two G 1/2 female threads for compressed air applications in workshop areas (compressed air feed for pneumatic tools, equipping assembly stations, etc.). Thanks to the even fabric reinforcement, this hose combines high pressure resistance, very good handling and high mechanical strength with excellent bond adhesion. The high level of UV and ozone resistance further enhances the hose's durability and reliability. Resistant to light grease, oil and diesel. The hose is also very light thanks to the mix of solid rubber and fabric inlay.

About Rubber hoses

Rubber hoses carry compressed air wherever a flexible and mechanically loaded run is needed. The range is specified for operating temperatures from -45 °C to 85 °C and therefore stays within its limits in the cold as well. Part of the 32 articles come as complete sets with coupling and connector, the rest as coil stock.

What matters when choosing

• Type of connection: push-button safety coupling NW 7.4 or quick-release coupling NW 7.2, each with a G 1/4, G 3/8 or G 1/2 female connector. The coupling has to match the system already installed on site, otherwise the hose cannot be connected.
• Hose I.D.: the inner diameter sets the flow and decides whether an air tool reaches its rated output. Sizes in the range include 12x6, 15.5x9.5 and 20x13.
• Hose length: sets are made up in 5, 10 and 20 m, alongside 50 m coils for cutting to length in house.
• Operating temperature: -45 °C to 85 °C on part of the range, to be checked against the individual article. The figure matters for outdoor use and unheated halls.
• Operating pressure: articles state the maximum operating pressure at 23 °C, with the workshop hoses rated at 20 bar. Higher temperature reduces the load capacity, so the article data is binding.

Typical applications

• Compressed air supply for pneumatic tools in the workshop.
• Equipping assembly stations with a permanent air outlet.
• Connection to hose reels and wall outlets in maintenance areas.
• Mobile use in cold conditions, as the range is specified down to -45 °C.
• Work areas involving paint processes that call for the silicone-free version.

The evenly laid textile insert provides the pressure resistance and mechanical strength of the hose, and cover, core and insert are listed per article. The 32 articles of this group are produced in India.
