Coilhose Pneumatics RK096 Rigid Nylon Hose Mender

Product Description

The COILHOSE PNEUMATICS RK096 is a rigid nylon hose mender designed to repair and reconnect sections of pneumatic air hose with a 5/16 inch inner diameter. This fitting restores hose integrity at cut or damaged points without the need for barbed fittings or clamps. The rigid construction holds the hose ends firmly in line, maintaining consistent airflow through the repaired section. Nylon construction resists moisture, mild chemicals, and the wear conditions common in shop and industrial pneumatic systems. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade professionals who work with pneumatic tools and compressor hose runs will find this a straightforward repair solution.

The RK096 is suited for use in compressed air hose repair applications where a 5/16 inch ID hose requires a rigid inline mender. The 1/4 inch thread connection is a standard sizing in pneumatic hose fittings, making this mender compatible with typical shop-air and portable compressor setups found in both residential service and light commercial environments. It is appropriate for dry or mildly humid shop conditions.

Key Features

• Rigid mender type holds hose ends securely in line without flex or movement at the repair joint
• Nylon material resists moisture and mild chemical exposure common in shop environments
• 5/16 inch inner diameter fits standard pneumatic hose of that bore size
• 1/4 inch thread connection aligns with common pneumatic fitting standards
• Compact single-piece design simplifies field repairs with minimal tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement mender fitting for pneumatic air hose with a 5/16 inch inner diameter and 1/4 inch threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a technician familiar with pneumatic systems. Before beginning any hose repair, depressurize the air line completely and disconnect it from the compressor or air supply. Cut the hose cleanly and squarely at the damaged section before seating the mender. Follow applicable shop-air system guidelines and verify all connections hold pressure before returning the line to service.
