Coilhose Pneumatics RK118 Rigid Hose Mender Nylon

Product Description

The COILHOSE PNEUMATICS RK118 is a rigid hose mender designed to repair or join sections of pneumatic hose with a 0.5 inch inner diameter. Constructed from nylon, this fitting offers lightweight durability and resistance to common shop fluids and air system contaminants. The rigid body style maintains a straight, secure connection at the repair point, preventing kinking or flex that can compromise airflow or hose integrity. It is installed by pneumatic technicians and maintenance professionals working on compressed air distribution lines in industrial, commercial, and trade shop environments.

This hose mender is suited for use in compressed air systems where a straight inline repair or hose-to-hose connection is required. The 0.5 inch thread size and 0.5 inch ID rating make it appropriate for mid-size pneumatic hose assemblies commonly found in production facilities, auto shops, and general maintenance applications. The nylon construction is compatible with standard compressed air service and contributes to corrosion-free performance over time.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or repair fitting for pneumatic air hose assemblies with a 0.5 inch inner diameter and 0.5 inch thread connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by pneumatic technicians or maintenance personnel. Before servicing any pneumatic hose assembly, depressurize the air line completely and lock out the compressed air supply at the source. Ensure the hose ends are cut cleanly and squarely before inserting the mender for a proper seal. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines when reconnecting and re-pressurizing the system.
