Metal Braided Air Compressor Hose, 42cm Length, 13mm Internal Diameter

Brief Overview

This metal braided hose is engineered as a critical pressure vessel connector for air compressor systems. The 42cm length makes it ideal for bridging the compressor pump outlet to check valves, tanks, or primary system components. The ribbed steel tube core, reinforced with continuous steel braid, handles the pressure cycles and vibration typical of compressor duty without fatigue failure. Swivel female threaded fittings on both ends provide leak-free connections and allow for flexible installation angles.

Key Features

• Ribbed Steel Tube Core: Inner ribbed construction provides structural integrity and resists pressure collapse
• Continuous Steel Braid Reinforcement: Outer braid prevents hose expansion under pressure and protects against abrasion
• Swivel Threaded Fittings: Female threaded ends with crimped ferrules allow tool-free connection and disconnection; swivel design reduces stress on system joints
• 13mm Internal Diameter: Optimized for standard compressor outlet sizes; supports adequate airflow without excessive pressure drop
• 42cm Fixed Length: Compact length suitable for tight engine bay or mounting configurations
• Polished Metallic Finish: Corrosion-resistant appearance; easy to inspect for integrity

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High Turnover: Essential replacement part for compressor maintenance; end-users regularly require hose replacements due to age-related brittleness or pressure fatigue
• Competitive Margin: Low material cost relative to selling price; ideal for bulk stocking
• Low Return Rate: Standardized fitting sizes mean compatibility is straightforward; reduces customer support friction
• Bundling Opportunity: Pair with check valves, pressure gauges, or couplers to increase basket size

Why Stock This Product

Air compressor hoses are wear items in professional shops. Pressure cycling, vibration, and temperature fluctuations degrade rubber and lower-grade hoses within 2–5 years. This metal-braided design extends service life significantly, making it the natural choice for reliability-focused mechanics and technicians. The fixed 42cm length and standard 13mm internal diameter fit the most common compressor configurations in European workshops.

Distributors benefit from predictable repeat orders and the ability to position this as a premium, longer-lasting alternative to cheaper rubber hoses.
