Description
The COILHOSE PNEUMATICS RK082 is a rigid nylon hose mender designed to repair or join sections of pneumatic hose in compressed air systems. Built from nylon for lightweight durability and resistance to common shop fluids, it features a 1/8 inch inner diameter and a 1/4 inch thread for secure, leak-resistant connections. This fitting is a practical repair component used by pneumatic system technicians and industrial maintenance crews who need a fast, reliable fix for damaged or severed air lines without replacing the full hose assembly.
The RK082 is suited for use in light to medium-duty pneumatic applications, including workshop air distribution lines, pneumatic tool supply hoses, and compressed air delivery systems. Its rigid construction holds the hose ends firmly in alignment, reducing the risk of kinking or misalignment at the repair joint. Typical installations are found in manufacturing facilities, automotive service bays, and general industrial environments where 1/8 inch ID air hose is in service.
Key Features
- Rigid mender design keeps hose ends aligned and prevents kinking at the joint
- Nylon construction offers resistance to moisture, oils, and common shop chemicals
- 1/8 inch inner diameter matches standard small-bore pneumatic hose
- 1/4 inch thread for secure threaded connection
- Lightweight material reduces stress on hose ends at the repair point
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement or repair fitting for 1/8 inch inner diameter pneumatic hose assemblies using 1/4 inch threaded connections in compressed air systems.
Installation Notes
Installation is typically performed by pneumatic system technicians or industrial maintenance personnel. Depressurize and bleed the air line completely before cutting or disconnecting any hose section. Ensure hose ends are cut cleanly and squarely for a proper seat against the mender barbs. Verify thread engagement is secure and check for leaks after restoring system pressure.
