Continental Contitech PLB03830-15-13 Air Hose 3/8 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH PLB03830-15-13 is a multipurpose PVC air hose designed for general-purpose pneumatic service in shop, jobsite, and light industrial environments. It carries a 300 psi working pressure rating and operates across a temperature range of -10 to 158 degrees F, making it suitable for year-round use in most trade settings. The hose measures 3/8 inch inside diameter and 0.60 inch outside diameter, with a 15-foot length and 1/4 inch MNPT fittings on both ends. The blue PVC construction keeps the hose flexible and easy to manage under typical shop air conditions. This hose is installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, mechanics, and general contractors who need a reliable air supply drop for pneumatic tools or equipment.

This hose is suited for residential and commercial jobsite use wherever a compact, medium-pressure air supply line is needed. The 15-foot length works well as a drop hose from an overhead reel or as a direct connection from a portable compressor to a pneumatic tool. The MNPT-by-MNPT end connections allow straightforward integration with standard air fittings and quick-connect adapters commonly found in trade environments. The 3/8 inch ID supports adequate airflow for most handheld pneumatic tools including impact wrenches, ratchets, nailers, and blow guns.

Installation Notes

Depressurize the air supply line and disconnect the compressor before removing or installing any air hose. Use appropriate thread sealant on MNPT connections and tighten fittings with the correct wrench — do not overtighten PVC-compatible fittings. Inspect the hose and fittings for wear, cracking, or leaks before returning the system to service. Applicable installations should follow OSHA 29 CFR 1926.302 and local compressed-air safety guidelines.
