Fabric-Reinforced Air Hose – Compressed Air Hoses for Tools and Workstations
A fabric-reinforced air hose connects the compressor, service unit and compressed air tool wherever the hose is moved, pulled and routed over edges on a daily basis. The embedded fabric reinforcement absorbs the pressure load and keeps the hose dimensionally stable, while the outer cover withstands the mechanical stress of everyday workshop use. At STASTO you'll find the CA, PV, PV05 and PV07-S series, as well as PVC fabric-braided hoses of the PV08, PV10 and PV13 series – sold by the metre or as a full roll.

Why STASTO
Reinforced compressed air hoses at a glance
Instead of clicking through individual part numbers, compare series, sizes, and packaging directly side by side – including the matching mounting and connection accessories.
Four hose series in one overview
Series CA, PV, PV05, and PV07-S cover requirements from fine tool lines to distribution lines. Sizes and versions can be compared directly side by side here.
Inner diameters from 4 to 38 mm
The range extends from the PV-10/4 with 4 mm to the PV-48/38 with 38 mm inner diameter – including the common workshop sizes 6.3 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 12.7 / 16 / 19, and 25 mm. The size designation in the part number indicates outer and inner diameter.
By the Metre or on a Reel
Many sizes are available by the metre for individual requirements and on a reel for maintenance and series assembly. This is indicated by the length specification in the part number, e.g. CA-19/12,7-BK-1-YA versus CA-19/12,7-BK-0050-YA.

Selection guide
Choosing the right compressed air hose
Four details are usually enough to narrow down the right variant. You'll find all four directly in the part number and on the datasheet.
Inside diameter and part number
- Inside diameter determines flow rate
- It determines how much air arrives at what pressure loss. Too small, and pressure drops at the tool; too large, and the hose becomes unnecessarily heavy and stiff.
- Rule of thumb for practice
- Small tool connection (6.3–9 mm), medium workstation line (10–16 mm), large distribution line (19–38 mm). The manufacturer's specification for the compressed air consumer is always binding.
- Reading the part number
- Using the example CA-19/12.7-BK-0050-YA: CA = series, 19/12.7 = outside/inside diameter in mm, BK = colour code, 0050 = coil length in meters; -1 stands for the running meter.
- Comparing across series
- This scheme runs through the series CA, PV, PV05, PV07-S and the PVC series PV08, PV10 and PV13 – so sizes can be compared directly.
Operating conditions, connection and securing
- Operating pressure and temperature
- Permissible operating pressure, temperature range and media compatibility differ by series and sometimes by size. Always check against the datasheet for the specific variant.
- Oil, chemical, or outdoor use
- For special operating conditions, please contact us – we'll help you determine the right series together.
- Hose clamp by clamping range
- The clamp is selected based on the hose outer diameter: 2-ear hose clamps of series 157 (157A to 157T) as well as clamps of series HC01 and HC02.
- Coupling according to ISO 7241-1 series B
- Coupling plugs and coupling sockets according to ISO 7241-1 series B are available in several nominal sizes and material versions.
- Hose burst protection series HB01
- It limits airflow if the hose is damaged or ruptures. Sizing is based on nominal size and flow range; the -LF and -HF versions differ in this respect.

Applications
Where fabric-reinforced air hoses are used
From the tool connection at the workbench to the distribution line in the workshop – the size follows air demand and line length.
Compressed air tools at the workbench
Impact wrenches, drills, chisel hammers and blow guns are supplied via short, flexible connection lines. Common are 6.3 to 9 mm inner diameters, such as CA-11/6.3-BK-1-YA or PV05-14.5/9-BU-1.
Distribution and supply lines in the workshop
From the compressor via the service unit to the outlet point, the cross-section increases with line length and air demand. For these runs, sizes from 12.7 mm are suitable, such as CA-23/16-BK-0050-YA or PV-34/25-NA-0050 as coiled hose.
Maintenance and mobile use
On the service cart or at changing outlet points, quick assembly matters: cut the hose to length, insert the nozzle, secure it with a 2-ear hose clamp from series 157. Cut-to-length stock with the -1 designation is the practical choice for this.
Workplaces with Elevated Safety Requirements
Where hoses are routed overhead or run close to personnel, a hose burst protection valve from series HB01 belongs in the line. It limits airflow in the event of damage or breakage; the -LF and -HF versions differ in flow range.
Visual Inspection and Line Identification
PVC braided hoses in the PV08, PV10, and PV13 series are a practical choice where a transparent or color-coded hose makes it easier to distinguish between multiple media lines at the workstation. Media compatibility is specified in the respective datasheet.
Special Operating Conditions
For oil, chemical, or outdoor applications, media compatibility and temperature range determine the right series. These values vary by variant – we're happy to help you identify the suitable version together.
How to Order
Three Steps to the Right Hose
From size to packaging to finished assembly.
Determine the Inside Diameter
Air consumption of the tool and line length determine the inside diameter. The range covers 4 to 38 mm – the manufacturer's specification for the compressed air tool remains binding.
Choose Series and Packaging
Select series CA, PV, PV05, PV07-S or a PVC series and decide between cut length (-1) and reel (e.g. -0025 or -0050). Check operating pressure and temperature in the variant's datasheet.
Add Accessories and Enquire
Add a hose clamp matched to the clamping range, a coupling to ISO 7241-1 Series B and, if needed, a hose burst protection from the HB01 series. Contact us for special sizes or project quantities.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about compressed air hose
Answers on construction, sizes, packaging and accessories.
What does "fabric-reinforced" mean for a compressed air hose?
Between the inner core and outer sheath lies an embedded textile braid that absorbs the forces resulting from operating pressure. It prevents the hose from expanding and increases dimensional stability compared to unreinforced hoses. That's why fabric-braided hoses are the standard for compressed air lines at tools and workstations.
Which inner diameter is the right one?
The key factors are the air demand of the connected tool and the line length: for hand tools, 6.3 to 9 mm is common, for workstation and supply lines 10 to 16 mm, for distribution lines 19 mm and above. The range covers 4 to 38 mm inner diameter – including sought-after intermediate sizes such as 13, 16 or 20 mm.
Are the compressed air hoses available by the meter?
Yes. Many sizes are available both as running meter (length code -1) and as a coil (e.g. -0025 or -0050). Which packaging options are offered for a specific size can be seen on the respective product variant.
What are the differences between the CA, PV, PV05 and PV07-S series?
They differ in construction, colour version and the size range covered: CA and PV05 cover the classic tool and workshop range from 6.3 to 25 mm, the PV series offers the widest range with 4 to 38 mm, PV07-S addresses increased demands on the hose wall. The technical specifications for each series can be found in the respective datasheet.
How do I read the part number of a compressed air hose?
The item number states series, outer/inner diameter, colour code and coil length. Example CA-19/12.7-BK-0050-YA: CA = series, 19/12.7 = outer/inner diameter in mm, BK = colour code, 0050 = coil length in meters; -1 stands for running meter.
Which hose clamp fits my hose?
The clamp is selected based on the clamping range relative to the hose outer diameter. Available are 2-ear hose clamps of the 157 series (157A to 157T) as well as clamps of the HC01 and HC02 series – the outer diameter is the first element in the hose's part number.
When do I need a hose burst protector?
A hose burst protector of the HB01 series belongs in the line whenever hoses are routed overhead or run close to personnel. It limits the airflow if the hose is damaged or torn off; sizing is based on nominal size and flow range, with the -LF and -HF versions differing accordingly.
Which couplings fit a compressed air hose?
For quick tool changes, shut-off coupling plugs and coupling sockets to ISO 7241-1 Series B are the right choice. They are available in several nominal sizes and material versions – brass, POM and stainless steel; the correct nominal size depends on the inner diameter of the line.
