Compressed air hoses, air filters and adapters for compressors

Compressed air hoses, air filters and adapters for connecting a compressor to the tools, used in garages, workshops, construction firms and by installers. The hose and filters help decide how much pressure and how clean the air is when it reaches the tool.

Choose an air hose first by inner diameter, length and coupling. An 8 x 14 mm hose is standard for hand tools, while a wider hose such as 16 x 22 mm loses less pressure over longer runs and with tools that use a lot of air. Lengths of 10, 15 or 20 m set your working radius. Mind the coupling, Euro or Orion, so the hose fits your existing quick couplers. Hybrid polymer and PVC are the usual materials; check the maximum working pressure, such as 20 bar. For high-pressure use there are hoses rated up to 160 bar to EN 857 1SC.

An air filter with an external 3/8" or 1/2" connection keeps dirt out of the line and the tool. For some compact compressors there is also a mains adapter. The brands are Airpress, Facom and DeWalt. These parts fall under compressors and freeze dryers, where the compressors themselves are listed too.
