The recoil format, in the PU line
The catalogue lists PU coil hose among the builds of the company's PU hose line, beside PU braided, PU pneumatic and PU fire hose. The coil — called recoil hose across the trade — is a format before it is a specification: as general knowledge about the format, a recoil hose is formed into a tight spiral, so a short retracted length extends to a longer working length at the tool and retracts when released. Whether this build is offered in that form, and its two lengths, are facts for the enquiry. The format's working facts are therefore two lengths, not one — retracted and extended — together with the bore, the pressure and the end fittings. As general background on the format: coil hose is the standard answer where a straight hose would drag, trip or tangle — assembly benches, air tools on drops, workshops and service bays.
As general knowledge about the format: a coil is a spring, and a spring is flexed every time it is used, so the coil format is generally made from elastomers with high flex recovery, polyurethane among the common choices in catalogues generally. That general background does not rate this build: no bore, no working or retracted length, no pressure figure and no fitting option for this construction is published in the company's data.
What an enquiry confirms for the coil build
- Bore and pressure at your bore: stated against your air system's pressure; pneumatic tools are flow-sensitive, so bore and extended length together set the pressure drop at the tool.
- Retracted and working lengths: the coil's two defining dimensions — how short it sits and how far it usefully reaches — per size offered.
- End fittings: whether coils are supplied bare, or fitted, and to which fitting type — cross-checked against the air hose couplings in the couplings line if you are fitting locally.
- Temperature and environment: the service range for the build, and its behaviour where the coil works outdoors or in cold stores — stated in the enquiry, answered in the quotation.
- Minimum order and packing: neither published for this build; both confirmed per order.
Buyers speccing a coil against a straight PU pneumatic hose — the line's other air build — are choosing a format, and the choice is made on the workstation, not the catalogue: how far the tool travels from the drop, whether the hose crosses a walkway, and how the operator works. The PU hose page sets out the line the coil sits in; the PVC air hose page carries the air-duty safety boundary that applies to any flexible air hose programme, PU included — flexible hose for flexible sections, and the blog's compressed-air article before any rigid pipe is considered for air.
What lengths does the coil come in?
Neither a retracted nor an extended length for this build is published in the company's data. State the reach your workstation needs in the enquiry and ask for the offered sizes — both lengths — to be confirmed in the written quotation.
What pressure is it rated at?
No pressure figure for the coil build is published. State your system's maximum pressure in the enquiry and ask for the working and burst pressure at your bore to be stated in writing before you order.
Does it come with fittings fitted?
Fitting supply for this build is not published. State the fitting type your tools and drops use in the enquiry; the couplings line lists air hose couplings among its entries if you are assembling locally.
Request a Quotation
Send the hose family, bore size, working pressure, length per roll and total quantity. MOQ, packing and lead time are confirmed in the written quotation for your exact specification. If the hose will be supplied as a finished assembly, name the coupling standard you need (for example camlock type and size, flange or thread) — or state that you need bare hose only.
