There are two factors when looking at red air hose.
G221 and G222 are versatile EPDM rubber air hoses. They are among our most popular hoses and find widespread use in industrial, agricultural, construction, and marine applications. G221 is a flexible and lightweight two-spiral hose, while G222 is a more robust four-spiral product. Multi-Purpose is used for air tools, nailers, staplers, jackhammers, and also as a hot or cold water wash down, heavy-duty heater, or low pressure agricultural spray hose. Because of its popularity, we offer Multi-Purpose on reels and in a variety of common assemblies.
Tube: | Black, limited oil-resistant EPDM rubber. |
Reinforcement: | High-tensile spiraled yarn; two spirals in G221 and four spirals in G222. |
Cover: | Smooth, red, abrasion and weather resistant EPDM rubber. |
Temperature Range: | -40°C (-40°F) to 95°C (203°F). |
G244 is manufactured using oil-resistant rubbers. This hose is designed to convey such products as oil-saturated air and lubrication oils, where EPDM hoses don't give adequate life. The oil-resistant cover helps G224 stand up in greasy or oily environments.
Tube: | Black nitrile rubber compounded to resist oil laden compressed air and moderate oil services. |
Reinforcement: | High-tensile spiraled yarn, two spirals in 1/4",3/8" and 1/2". Four spirals in larger sizes. |
Cover: | Smooth, red, oil, abrasion and weather resistant neoprene rubber. |
Temperature Range: | -30°C (-22°F) to 70°C (158°F) continuous, 80°C (176F) intermittent. |
G234 air hose offers the widest range of service among our long-length air hoses. It is made from maximum oil-resistant rubbers to provide a fuel quality tube suitable for oil, diesel, and lubrication oils, as well as for air, water, and many chemicals. G234 is also electrically non-conductive, making it an ideal hose in smelters where electrical shock hazards exist.
Tube: | Black, limited oil-resistant EPDM rubber. |
Reinforcement: | High-tensile spiraled yarn; two spirals in G221 and four spirals in G222. |
Cover: | Smooth, red, abrasion and weather resistant EPDM rubber. |
Temperature Range: | -40°C (-40°F) to 95°C (203°F). |
We stock commonly requested G221 and G222 Multi Purpose assemblies so that they can be manufactured in volume to reduce costs. Of course, we will cut and attach fittings to any size or length of air hose that you require. Prices for the appropriate hose can be obtained by calling or emailing us.
GST® II hose is a versatile general purpose hose designed to handle air,
mild chemicals and water. The hose construction incorporates a tube that
is compatible with light oil mists found in air tool lubricating systems, and
the multiple plies of textile reinforcement provide flexibility. The cover is
resistant to abrasion, heat and ozone, and is available in multiple standard
colors for color-coded identification.

Modern plastic compounds have enabled plastic to venture into hoses that were typically taken by rubber air hoses. With the ongoing research better and better plastic hoses are being created.
G911 Vinylite hose is a popular air hose, but it is also found in a large range of applications. The ability to see through the hose enables operators to see any flow problems or blockages as well as it is resistant to mild acid and alkali solutions. G911 is non-toxic and can be used for applications in marine drinking water pressure and drain lines.
Tube: | Clear, slightly blue tinted PVC that is formulated with ingredients in compliance with FDA, USDA, 3A, NSF and California Proposition 65 requirements. |
Reinforcement: | High tensile spiraled polyester yarn with two blue longitudinal tracers to identify the hose as food grade. |
Cover: | Smooth, clear with a blue tint, abrasion and weather resistant PVC, with the same ingredients as the tube compound. |
Temperature Range: | -5°C (23°F) to 65°C (149°F). |
Air Tool Hose Assemblies are designed specifically for contractors who are looking for excellent value in a professional grade assembly. Only high-quality, pure PVC compounds are used, resulting in a very smooth flow that prevents unnecessary friction loss. This hose contains no re-ground plastic, ensuring that the good low temperature and oil resistant characteristics are consistent.
Tube: | Black, high molecular-weight, medium oil-resistant, smooth PVC compound. |
Reinforcement: | High-tensile spiral polyester yarn with longitudinal cords to give added strength and reduce elongation. |
Cover: | Smooth, red, abrasion and weather resistant, high molecular-weight PVC compound. |
Temperature Range: | -25°C (-13°F) to 65°C 149°F). |
Poly-Air was the first plastic air hose that used specialty polymers to create a rubber-like feel.
G922 has a large following in the construction trades for use with nailing and stapling equipment.
Compared to similar rubber hoses, Poly-Air is lighter and smoother so it glides over surfaces
easily and with less wear. The growth of this hose
in the Canadian market has caused many competitors to try to copy it - without success! Look for
the genuine product to appreciate the true quality of this hose. For general use, we supply assemblies with permanently
attached brass fittings. For nailing and stapling, many users prefer field repairable re-usable fittings with spring guards.

G1722 is an extremely lightweight, flexible and tough hose suitable for a wide range of industrial and construction applications. It is ideal for pneumatic air tool hose as it weighs up to 50% less than PVC and has excellent oil and solvent resistance. Polyurethane remains flexible at very cold temperatures and is much more than resistant to punctures and abrasion than either rubber or PVC.

Temperature Range: | -40°C (-40°F) to 75°C (167°F). |
G920 extends up to 30 times its stored length and gently recoils when released. Recoil air hose is manufactured from nylon and is recommended for use with air, water and lubricating oils, and many solvents. The compact nature of this hose keeps it out of the way when used in tight areas such as work benches, tire filler stations, and moving air cylinders. It is also convenient for deck wash down on pleasure boats, and for watering plants in home atriums and greenhouses.
Construction: | Permanently coiled, red, oil and abrasion resistant, nylon tubing. |
Temperature Range: | -40°C (-40°F) to 60°C (140°F) |
Note: | Because of the coiled nature of this product, it will not extend to its full length. Maximum working length will be approximately 75% of actual length. |
Tired of stiff, kinked or easily damaged self-storing hoses, but dislike the bulk of rubber hoses? Polyurethane Recoil is the answer. Polyurethane will bounce back again and again despite crushing or kinking. The working length of the hose is 80-90% of the actual length, and is easier to use an conventional nylon or hytrel recoil hoses, due to the superior elastic properties of the urethane. See and feel the difference.
Construction: | 150PSI at 20°C (68°F) 60PSI at 50°C (122°F) |
Temperature Range: | -40°C (-40°F) to 65°C (150°F) |
For applications where the higher pressure and increased kink resistance is preferred, we also offer urethane recoil with a spiral yarn reinforcement. Since for all thermoplastic hoses the working pressure drops as temperature increases, a reinforced hose is preferred at elevated temperatures. Our G1712 is supplied in a transparent blue color to show the fabric layer.
Construction: | 225PSI at 20°C (68°F) 125PSI at 50°C (122°F) |
Temperature Range: | -40°C (-40°F) to 65°C (150°F) |
Yellow air hoses are found throughout the resources industries whenever the going get really rough, and red air hoses do not offer adequate life. We offer 6 different yellow air hoses types to fit different service requirements.
G223 while principally designed for jackhammer and contractor use, this hose is also popular for wash down G223 features a four spiral reinforcement and a smooth, bright yellow cover for high visibility. It has the advantage over most other yellow air hoses that it available in long lengths on a reel.
