Continental Contitech PLR03830-10-13 Air Hose 3/8 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH PLR03830-10-13 is a multipurpose PVC air hose designed for general-purpose compressed air delivery in light industrial, commercial, and trade service environments. It measures 3/8 inch inside diameter and 10 feet in length, with a rated working pressure of 300 psi. The hose is fitted with 1/4 inch male NPT (MNPT) connections on both ends, making it ready to connect to standard air tools, regulators, and fittings without adapters. It operates across a temperature range of -10 to 158 degrees F. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors reach for this hose when they need a durable, flexible air supply line for pneumatic tools or equipment purge tasks.

This hose suits residential and light commercial job sites where a compact, easy-to-handle air line is preferred. The 10-foot length works well for close-quarters tool use, compressor outlet connections, and service van setups. The MNPT x MNPT end configuration connects directly to standard quick-connect bodies, ball valves, and compressed air fittings common to most trade applications. The red PVC jacket provides visibility on the job site and resists abrasion under normal working conditions.

Key Features

• Red jacket provides easy job site identification and basic abrasion resistance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or supplemental air hose for compressed air systems using 1/4 inch MNPT fittings and standard 3/8 inch ID hose assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and general tradespeople working with compressed air systems. Depressurize the air supply completely before connecting or disconnecting the hose. Inspect both MNPT fittings for thread condition and apply appropriate thread sealant per the fitting manufacturer and applicable codes. Do not exceed the rated working pressure of 300 psi, and keep the hose away from sharp edges, heat sources, and solvents that could degrade the PVC jacket.
