Continental Contitech HZB03830-25-31 Air Hose 3/8 in 25 Ft

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH HZB03830-25-31 is a 25-foot multipurpose air hose built for demanding shop and field use. Constructed from EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), it delivers a 300 psi working pressure rating and an operating temperature range of -40 to 190 degrees F. The 3/8-inch inside diameter and 23/32-inch outside diameter sizing makes it a standard fit for air compressor outlets, pneumatic tools, and general-purpose compressed-air distribution. End connections are MNPT x FNPT Swivel, allowing easy inline routing without twisting the hose body. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors rely on this hose for everyday pneumatic tool operation and service work.

This hose is suited for both residential and light commercial jobsite applications where a reliable, flexible air supply line is needed. The EPDM construction resists weathering, ozone, and moderate chemical exposure, making it appropriate for outdoor use and unheated shop environments. The swivel FNPT end reduces kinking at the tool connection point, which is a common wear location on fixed-end hoses. Typical installs include air compressor whip lines, service truck drop hoses, and stationary air supply runs in mechanical rooms or workshops.

Key Features

• 300 psi working pressure rating for standard compressed-air tool use
• EPDM construction resists ozone, weathering, and moderate chemical exposure
• Wide temperature range: -40 to 190 degrees F for outdoor and shop environments
• MNPT x FNPT Swivel end connections reduce hose twist at the tool end
• 3/8-inch ID sizing compatible with standard air fittings and couplers
• 25-foot length provides working reach without excessive pressure drop

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-service air hose for use with standard 3/8-inch NPT air fittings and pneumatic tool connections common in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or general mechanical tradespeople using standard NPT thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male fitting end. Depressurize the air supply completely before connecting or disconnecting the hose. Do not exceed the rated 300 psi working pressure, and inspect the hose, fittings, and swivel connection for wear or leaks before each use. Refer to applicable OSHA compressed-air safety guidelines for hose whip restraints when required by job-site conditions.
