Continental Contitech PLB03830-10-13 Air Hose 3/8 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH PLB03830-10-13 is a multipurpose compressed air hose rated for 300 psi working pressure and built for demanding shop and field use. The hose has a 3/8 inch inside diameter and measures 10 feet in length, with 1/4 inch male NPT fittings on both ends for direct connection to standard air tools and compressor outlets. Constructed from PVC with a blue outer jacket, it operates across a temperature range of -10 degrees F to 158 degrees F. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors use this hose for pneumatic tool operation, blow-off tasks, and air supply lines in light to medium-duty applications.

This hose is suited for residential and light commercial job sites where a compact, flexible air supply line is needed. The 10 foot length works well as a whip hose between a larger supply reel and a hand tool, or as a dedicated short-run drop line. The MNPT x MNPT end configuration connects directly to male-threaded quick-connect bodies, compressor manifolds, or inline regulators without additional adapters in most standard setups. Its PVC construction keeps weight low at approximately 2 pounds, making it easy to route and store.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by any trade using compressed air equipment, including HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical contractors. Depressurize the air supply line completely before disconnecting or attaching hose fittings. Inspect fittings for thread damage and apply thread sealant tape to NPT connections per standard practice to prevent leaks. Do not exceed the rated 300 psi working pressure under any operating condition.
