Ingersoll Rand 22040687 Double-Banded Universal Air Hose | 3/8" NPT Straight Male | 8 (ft.) Length

Connecting a pneumatic construction tool to a compressed-air supply requires the correct hose diameter, connection style, and pressure rating. The Ingersoll Rand 22040687 Double-Banded Universal Air Hose is an assembled air-line accessory featuring a 1/2-inch inside diameter, 8-foot length, and 250 PSI rated working pressure. Its universal coupling connects to matching universal-style air fittings, while the 3/8-inch NPT straight male connection provides a threaded attachment point for compatible pneumatic equipment. NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads form a tapered pipe connection commonly used in compressed-air systems. This configuration is particularly useful when a short, tool-side hose section is needed between a pneumatic tool and a larger air distribution line.

The double-banded hose construction uses securing bands at the hose ends to retain the installed fittings. With an 8-foot working length, the 22040687 allows a practical amount of movement around the immediate work area without requiring a longer hose section at the tool connection. Its 1/2-inch hose bore provides an air passage appropriate for pneumatic equipment whose manufacturer specifies this diameter, while the straight male fitting offers a direct threaded connection rather than a swivel-type attachment. Used with properly matched fittings and compressed-air equipment, this hose serves as a convenient connection section for construction, repair, and pneumatic tool operation.

Type: Assembled Pneumatic Air Hose | Model: 22040687 | Manufacturer: Ingersoll Rand | Hose I.D.: 1/2" | Hose Length: 8 ft | Rated Pressure: 250 PSI | Connection Type: Universal Coupling to Straight Male NPT | Thread Size: 3/8" NPT | Connection Construction: Double-Banded | Service: Compressed Air

Features:

• 1/2-inch inside diameter provides an air passage for compatible pneumatic tools requiring this hose size.
• 8-foot hose length accommodates movement near the equipment connection without introducing unnecessary hose length.
• 250 PSI rated pressure establishes the maximum hose pressure limit for compressed-air applications.
• Universal-style coupling connects to compatible universal air-line fittings used in construction pneumatic systems.
• 3/8-inch NPT straight male fitting allows threaded attachment to equipment with a matching female NPT inlet.
• Double-banded construction secures the assembled hose-end fittings using retaining bands.
• Straight male connection provides a fixed fitting arrangement for applications that do not require a swivel inlet.
• Preassembled universal-to-threaded configuration eliminates the need to select and assemble separate hose-end fittings for the specified connection arrangement.

Applications:

• Construction pneumatic equipment – connecting compatible air-powered construction tools to universal-coupling air supply lines.
• Chipping and surface removal – providing a short air-line connection for suitable pneumatic chipping hammers and related tools with matching inlet requirements.
• Excavation and utility maintenance – supplying compressed air to compatible digging and construction equipment using a 3/8-inch NPT threaded connection.
• Industrial maintenance workshops – replacing an assembled tool-side hose section where a universal-to-straight-male configuration is specified.
• Jobsite air distribution – connecting equipment to an existing compressed-air network while maintaining the required hose diameter and pressure limits.

FAQs:

• Q: What connections are supplied on the Ingersoll Rand 22040687 hose?

  A: The hose has a universal-style air coupling at one end and a 3/8-inch NPT straight male threaded fitting at the other. Both connections must match the corresponding compressed-air supply and equipment fittings.

• Q: Is the hose diameter 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch?

  A: The hose inside diameter is 1/2 inch. The 3/8-inch measurement refers specifically to the NPT straight male connection. These dimensions describe different parts of the hose assembly and should not be confused when selecting a replacement.

• Q: What is the difference between this hose and Ingersoll Rand 22041453?

  A: Both assemblies have a 1/2-inch inside diameter, an 8-foot length, and a 250 PSI pressure rating. The 22040687 uses a 3/8-inch NPT straight male connection, while the 22041453 uses a 1/2-inch NPT straight male connection. Select the model that matches the equipment inlet thread.

• Q: Can the 22040687 be connected directly to a pneumatic chipping hammer?

  A: It can be used with pneumatic equipment that accepts a 3/8-inch NPT male connection and specifies a compatible hose size and airflow supply. Verify the exact tool inlet, hose requirements, and operating conditions before installation.

• Q: Does the 250 PSI rating mean the air tool should operate at 250 PSI?

  A: No. The hose pressure rating is the allowable pressure limit for the hose assembly, not the required operating pressure of the connected tool. Always follow the pneumatic tool manufacturer's recommended operating pressure and the lowest-rated component in the air system.
