Eaton H177608-500R Oil-resistant Air Hose 1/2 in 325 Psi

Product Description

The EATON H177608-500R is an oil-resistant air hose built for demanding pneumatic service in trade and industrial environments. Constructed from Buna-N (nitrile rubber), it resists oil, grease, and hydrocarbon exposure that would degrade standard rubber hose. The hose measures 1/2 inch inside diameter and 7/8 inch outside diameter, with a rated working pressure of 325 psi. The temperature range runs from -40 degrees F to 180 degrees F, making it suitable for both cold-weather outdoor service and hot shop environments. It is sold cut-to-length from a 500-foot coil in 1-foot increments, with a 25-foot minimum cut length. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors are the typical installers.

This hose is suited for compressed air distribution lines in shops, service bays, manufacturing floors, and construction sites where oil contamination from compressor output is a concern. The nitrile construction holds up in environments where petroleum-based lubricants, compressor oils, or hydraulic fluid mist may contact the hose exterior or interior. The 1/2 inch ID supports moderate-to-high airflow demand typical of impact wrenches, air ratchets, spray guns, and general pneumatic tooling. The red color aids visual identification in multi-hose installations.

Key Features

• Buna-N (nitrile rubber) construction resists oil, grease, and hydrocarbon degradation
• 325 psi working pressure rated for demanding pneumatic service
• Wide temperature range: -40 degrees F to 180 degrees F
• 1/2 inch ID and 7/8 inch OD for compatibility with standard pneumatic fittings
• Sold cut-to-length from a 500-foot coil in 1-foot increments, 25-foot minimum

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation air hose for compressed air systems requiring oil-resistant hose rated at 325 psi with a 1/2 inch inside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, plumber, or mechanical contractor familiar with compressed air system requirements. Depressurize and lock out the air supply before cutting, fitting, or connecting the hose. Use appropriate crimp or barbed fittings rated at or above the hose working pressure of 325 psi. Do not exceed the rated working pressure or temperature limits during service.
