Continental Contitech 20026563 Air Hose 5/16 in 300 Psi

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20026563 is a bulk multipurpose air hose designed for compressed air distribution in industrial, mechanical, and trade service environments. Built from synthetic rubber with oil-resistant construction, it handles working pressures up to 300 psi and operates across a temperature range of -29 degrees F to 210 degrees F. The hose measures 5/16 inch inside diameter and is supplied in a 500-foot coil, cut to length in 1-foot increments with a 25-foot minimum cut. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors rely on this type of hose for tool drops, compressor whip lines, and shop air distribution runs.

This hose is suited for both residential service trucks and light commercial shop settings where a flexible, oil-resistant air supply line is needed. Its red synthetic rubber construction resists degradation from incidental oil contact, making it appropriate for engine service bays, equipment maintenance facilities, and trade contractor vehicle setups. The bulk coil format allows installers to cut custom lengths on site, reducing waste and eliminating the need for multiple pre-cut assemblies on longer runs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical or HVAC technician familiar with compressed air system assembly. Depressurize and lock out the compressor before cutting or connecting hose segments. Use appropriately rated brass or steel fittings crimped or clamped to the hose ends per the fitting manufacturer's specifications. Verify that all fittings and connections are rated to meet or exceed the 300 psi working pressure of this hose before returning the system to service.
