Continental Contitech VRK03830-25-13 Air Hose 3/8 in 25 Ft

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH VRK03830-25-13 is a rubber oil-resistant air hose designed for compressed-air service in demanding shop and field environments. It measures 3/8 inch inside diameter and 25 feet in length, with a working pressure rating of 300 psi. Fitted with 1/4 inch male NPT connections on both ends, it mates directly to standard air tools, compressors, and manifolds without adapters. The black rubber construction handles a temperature range of -20 to 190 degrees F, making it suitable for cold-weather outdoor use and hot shop floors alike. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and general contractors install this type of hose daily.

This hose is suited for residential and light commercial shop applications where air tools operate continuously and oil carryover from compressors is a concern. The oil-resistant inner tube resists degradation from lubricating oil mist that passes through compressed-air lines, extending service life compared to standard air hose. Typical installations include connection between a compressor outlet or quick-connect drop and pneumatic impact wrenches, ratchets, nail guns, and blow guns. At 25 feet, it provides working reach without excessive coiling or pressure drop for most single-tool setups.

Key Features

• Oil-resistant inner tube resists degradation from compressor oil carryover
• 300 psi working pressure rating handles high-demand pneumatic tools
• Temperature range of -20 to 190 degrees F for year-round use
• 1/4 inch MNPT x MNPT end connections fit standard air fittings without adapters
• 3/8 inch ID delivers adequate flow volume for common air tools at 25 feet
• Black rubber construction resists abrasion and UV exposure in shop environments

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-connect replacement air hose for compressor outlets, quick-disconnect stations, and pneumatic tool setups using standard 1/4 inch NPT threaded fittings.

Installation Notes

This hose is typically installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, or any trade using compressed-air tools. Always depressurize and bleed the air supply line before connecting or disconnecting the hose. Apply thread sealant tape to the MNPT fittings per manufacturer practice and applicable shop standards to prevent air leaks at connection points. Inspect the hose for cuts, abrasions, or bulging before each use, and do not exceed the rated working pressure.
