A flexible conduit, typically constructed from rubber, polymer, or reinforced composite materials, with an internal diameter of five-sixteenths of an inch. This dimension dictates the volume of compressed gas it can efficiently deliver for various pneumatic applications, such as powering air tools, inflating tires, or operating machinery.
The selection of a pneumatic line with this specific bore offers a balance between airflow capacity and hose flexibility. Its utilization enables efficient operation of smaller pneumatic devices while maintaining maneuverability in confined spaces. Historically, such hoses have played a vital role in automating industrial processes and increasing the portability of compressed air power.
