Why use a B-55 air whip hose. 10mm bore x 1.5mtrs fitted with swivel 1/4bsp female threads
|
|
A B-55 air whip hose is designed to provide a short, lightweight, highly flexible air connection between a larger air hose and pneumatic tools.
|
Its 10mm bore ensures excellent airflow to maintain tool performance, while the 1.5-meter length makes the whip hose easy to handle without excessive drag or restriction.
|
|
The swivel 1/4" BSP female threads at both ends prevent the hose from twisting or kinking during tool operation, allowing full range of motion and reducing operator fatigue.
|
Swivel fittings also help protect both the hose and the tool connections from wear caused by constant movement, extending the service life of your air system.

The benefits of using a B-55 air whip hose. 10mm bore x 1.5mtrs fitted with swivel 1/4bsp female threads
|
|
1. Enhanced Tool Maneuverability
|
|
The short 1.5m flexible hose reduces resistance and drag from the main air hose, making tools lighter and easier to handle.
|
|
2. Prevents Hose Twisting and Kinking
|
|
The swivel 1/4" BSP female threads at both ends allow free rotation, preventing hose tangles, twists, and kinks during tool operation.
|
|
3. Maintains Consistent Airflow
|
|
The 10mm internal bore ensures high airflow rates to pneumatic tools, supporting consistent tool performance even under demanding use.
|
|
4. Reduces Operator Fatigue
|
|
By lightening the immediate weight on the tool hand and minimizing drag, the whip hose reduces strain on the user, particularly during extended work sessions.
|
|
5. Protects Main Air Hose and Tool Connections
|
|
Acts as a buffer between the tool and the heavier main hose, reducing stress and wear on fittings, hoses, and tool connectors.
|
|
6. Increases Hose and Tool Service Life
|
|
Minimizing movement stress at the connection points extends the working life of both the air hose and the pneumatic tool.
|
|
7. Improves Workflow Efficiency
|
|
Easier tool handling and reduced downtime from hose-related issues boost productivity, especially in busy workshops.
|
|
8. Versatile for a Range of Pneumatic Tools
|
|
Ideal for use with spray guns, air sanders, grinders, air ratchets, drills, and impact wrenches in automotive, industrial, and construction settings.
