Reinforced Flexible Air Hose

Clear Braided Hose

Flexible reinforced clear braided hose for compressed-air, workshop and compatible general-purpose applications, available in seven bore sizes from 6mm to 25mm ID.

Clear Braided Hose in 30 Metre Rolls

The Tanair clear braided hose range is available in seven sizes, from 1/4" / 6mm ID through to 1" / 25mm ID. Each product is supplied as a 30 metre roll.

The transparent hose makes visual inspection straightforward, while the internal braid adds reinforcement and helps the hose retain its shape in suitable applications.

Choose the hose by internal diameter, outside diameter, working pressure, media and the fittings required at each end.

Shop Clear Braided Hose by Bore Size

The range is arranged from the smallest to the largest internal diameter: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 19mm and 25mm ID.

Check both ID and OD before ordering. The hose bore determines the fitting tail size, while the outside diameter matters when choosing clips or other retention methods.
Range Guide

Clear Braided Hose Sizes

1/4" · 6mm ID · 11.5mm OD

Compact hose size for suitable lower-flow compressed-air and general workshop applications.

5/16" · 8mm ID · 13.5mm OD

A useful intermediate size for compatible workshop air and fluid-transfer duties.

10mm ID · 16mm OD

Popular general-purpose bore where more airflow is needed than the smaller hose sizes can provide.

1/2" · 12mm ID · 14mm OD

12mm bore option for compatible applications requiring a larger internal diameter.

5/8" · 16mm ID · 20mm OD

Larger reinforced hose for suitable higher-flow workshop and industrial applications.

3/4" · 19mm ID · 25mm OD

Large-bore hose for compatible applications where unrestricted flow is particularly important.

1" · 25mm ID · 31mm OD

The largest clear braided hose in the current range, supplied as a 30 metre roll.

Why Clear Braided?

Flexible Hose with Reinforced Construction

Clear braided hose combines flexible handling with an internal reinforcement layer. Its transparent construction also allows the hose condition and contents to be inspected more easily than with an opaque hose.

  • Clear construction for easy visual inspection
  • Braided reinforcement for added stability
  • Multiple bore sizes for different flow requirements
  • 30 metre rolls for workshop, maintenance and installation work
Selection

How to Choose the Correct Hose Size

Internal Diameter

The ID determines the available flow area and the size of hose tail required. Larger air demands generally require a larger bore.

Outside Diameter

The OD is important when selecting clips and when checking clearance through brackets or routing points.

Working Pressure

Confirm the hose is suitable for the actual operating pressure of the system before use.

Media & Environment

Check compatibility with the air, water or other medium involved, together with temperature and site conditions.

Airflow

Avoid Unnecessary Pressure Drop

A hose that is too small for the required airflow can restrict a pneumatic tool or machine. The effect increases over longer hose runs and with higher air consumption.

If you are choosing hose for an air tool, call 0121 753 3330 with the tool CFM, working pressure and required hose length and we can help check the bore.
Fittings & Clips

Match the Complete Hose Assembly

Once the hose bore has been selected, the hose tails must match the internal diameter and the retention method must suit the outside diameter and application.

  • Match hose tails to the hose ID
  • Match clips or clamps to the hose OD
  • Check BSP threads on couplings, tools and equipment
  • Use fittings suitable for the required pressure and media
Inspection

Check Hose Condition Regularly

Inspect flexible hose routinely and replace it if you find significant cuts, cracking, bulging, damaged reinforcement, hardened material or leaking fittings.

Keep hose away from sharp edges, excessive heat and locations where it may be crushed or repeatedly driven over.

FAQs

Clear Braided Hose FAQs

What sizes of clear braided hose are available?

The current range covers 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 19mm and 25mm internal diameters.

How long are the hose rolls?

All seven products in the current clear braided hose range are supplied as 30 metre rolls.

What is the benefit of the clear construction?

The transparent hose makes visual inspection easier and can help you see contamination or deterioration that may otherwise be hidden.

Why is the hose braided?

The internal reinforcement adds stability and helps the hose resist expansion in suitable applications.

Can it be used for compressed air?

Yes, where the selected hose size, pressure capability, fittings and operating conditions are suitable for the application.

How do I choose the correct hose tail?

Match the hose tail to the internal diameter of the hose. Also check the thread or coupling profile required at the other end.

Can Compressed Air Systems UK help me choose?

Yes. Call 0121 753 3330 with the bore, pressure, length and connection details you need.
