Keeping pneumatic construction tools supplied with compressed air across an active jobsite requires a hose with sufficient reach, airflow capacity, and secure end connections. The Ingersoll Rand 22040679 Double-Banded Air Hose combines a 3/4-inch inside diameter, 50-foot length, and 300 PSI pressure rating for supplying compressed air to compatible construction and industrial pneumatic equipment. Made from nitrile rubber, this hose features universal couplings (commonly called Chicago fittings) on both ends, allowing quick connection and disconnection to matching air-line fittings. Its larger internal passage accommodates the airflow requirements associated with construction tools such as pavement breakers, chipping hammers, rivet busters, and diggers.
The double-banded universal connections use bands to secure the hose ends to their fittings, providing an assembled hose configuration for field use. With 50 feet of working reach, the 22040679 helps position pneumatic equipment away from the primary compressed-air connection while accommodating movement around construction sites, roadwork areas, and shipyards. Additional compatible hose sections can be connected when a longer air line is required, provided the system maintains adequate pressure and airflow at the tool. The hose is particularly useful for contractors operating pneumatic breaking, chipping, tamping, and related construction equipment where air-line length and fitting compatibility influence equipment setup.
Type: Pneumatic Air Hose | Model: 22040679 | Manufacturer: Ingersoll Rand | Hose Material: Nitrile Rubber | Hose I.D.: 3/4" | Hose Length: 50 ft | Rated Pressure: 300 PSI | End Connections: Universal Couplings on Both Ends | Connection Construction: Double-Banded | Service: Compressed Air
Features:
- 3/4-inch inside diameter provides an air passage suited to compatible pneumatic construction tools with substantial airflow requirements.
- 50-foot hose length allows equipment placement and movement away from the compressed-air supply connection.
- 300 PSI rated pressure supports compressed-air service within the hose's specified operating limit.
- Nitrile rubber hose construction provides a practical material choice for construction-tool compressed-air supply lines.
- Universal Chicago-style couplings on both ends permit quick connection and disconnection from matching universal air-line fittings.
- Double-banded hose-end construction secures the universal fittings to the assembled hose.
- Multiple compatible hose sections can be joined to extend air-line reach when the compressed-air system can support the additional length.
- Suitable for supplying compressed air to compatible chipping hammers, pavement breakers, rivet busters, backfill tampers, and diggers.
Applications:
- Road construction and pavement repair – connecting compatible pneumatic pavement breakers and other roadwork equipment to compressed-air supplies.
- Concrete demolition and renovation – supplying compressed air to chipping hammers and breaking tools during concrete removal operations.
- Shipyard and structural maintenance – providing air-line reach for compatible pneumatic chipping and rivet-busting tools.
- Excavation and utility construction – connecting pneumatic diggers and backfill tampers used in trenching and backfilling operations.
- Construction equipment staging – extending compressed-air distribution between a compressor connection and pneumatic tools operating around a jobsite.
FAQs:
- Q: What type of fittings are installed on the Ingersoll Rand 22040679 air hose?
A: This hose is supplied with universal couplings, also known as Chicago fittings, on both ends. These connections are intended for use with matching universal air-line couplings. Verify coupling size, condition, and connection requirements before attaching the hose to a compressor or pneumatic tool.
- Q: Can this 3/4-inch air hose be used with pavement breakers and chipping hammers?
A: Yes. The 22040679 is used for compressed-air supply to construction equipment such as pavement breakers, chipping hammers, and rivet busters. Confirm that the tool's recommended hose diameter, required airflow, operating pressure, and inlet fitting match the installation.
- Q: Can two 50-foot hoses be connected to create a longer air line?
A: Compatible universal-coupling hose sections can be connected to increase the available reach. However, increasing hose length can introduce additional pressure loss, particularly with high-air-consumption tools. Check the resulting pressure at the tool under operating conditions.
- Q: What does double-banded mean on an air hose?
A: Double-banded describes the method used to secure the hose ends to their fittings using bands. The 22040679 is supplied as an assembled hose with universal fittings rather than as an unassembled length of bulk hose.
- Q: Is the 300 PSI rating the required pressure for operating a pneumatic tool?
A: No. The 300 PSI figure is the hose's rated pressure, not the operating pressure required by a connected tool. Set the air supply according to the pneumatic equipment manufacturer's instructions, and never exceed the pressure rating of the lowest-rated component in the air system.
