To ensure that compressed-air equipment operates at full capacity, the hose diameter and length are of crucial importance.

The inner diameter of the hose should not be less than 10 mm to ensure the required air flow rate.

The shorter the hose from the compressor to the device, the lower the friction loss and the more of the full pressure generated by the compressor is available to the device.

Why is this important?

A hose that is too small can restrict the air flow and thus reduce performance.
