    When purchasing a new air hose, users should consider the required length and diameter, the ideal material for a particular application, and whether a standard hose or a backflush hose is more suitable for their needs. Existing air hoses include different materials such as PU air hoses, PVC air hoses, nylon hoses, and rubber hoses.

    When deciding on the ideal hose length, consider your application first. If you're an auto body shop professional, you probably move around large vehicles all day and need a long, maneuverable hose. If you're woodworking with an air drill on the same workbench all day, you may need a shorter hose.

    What's more, many hoses are designed with connectors for owners to customize the length of the hose by connecting one hose to another. If you need to extend the reach of the hose, it is more prudent to use a longer hose, as standard hose fittings are not full bore and create restrictions that can cause pressure loss that can stop your tool from working.

    Your goal should always be to strike a balance between liquidity and low-pressure losses. The pressure loss accelerates along the length of the hose, which means the longer the hose, the more pressure the compressed air loses when it reaches its final destination.

    Air hoses are measured by their inside diameter (ID), standard sizes are ¼”, ⅜” or ½” or metric sizes are 6mm, 8mm, or 10mm. Since a higher ID correlates with a higher air capacity, choosing the ideal air Hose diameter is required to understand the CFM requirements of air tools.

    Keep in mind that the "average" flow rating listed for an air tool says more about how you use the tool than the actual unrestricted amount of air it can pass. The problem of insufficient tool pressure is usually a combination of hose bore, fitting bore, and length.
