Key Design Features
Closed Metal Case — HR04 Series
Unlike open-frame reels and plastic-case designs, the HR04 powder-coated steel case protects the hose from dust, oil splash, mechanical impacts and harsh industrial environments. Suitable for woodworking, automotive and metalworking shops.
PU Braid Braided Hose (UB)
The internal polyester braid raises working pressure to 15 bar (vs 10–12 bar for plain PU), provides resistance to mechanical damage and kinking, and delivers a longer service life under intensive daily use.
Automatic Spring Retraction
A heavy-duty steel spring automatically retracts the hose after release. A spring-loaded lock lets you fix the hose at any desired extension length.
360° Swivel Brass Inlet
The brass swivel inlet rotates a full 360° regardless of the case orientation, allowing the air supply to be connected from any angle without twisting the supply pipe — essential for ceiling mounting or side-entry connections.
Mounting Flexibility
Includes a steel bracket for wall or ceiling mounting, in fixed or swivelling configuration.
Applications for the HR04-UB8012
Auto service and tyre fitting — tyre inflation, blowing down parts, running pneumatic tools (impact wrenches, grinders). 12 m covers a standard lift with clearance.
Production lines and assembly shops — pneumatic pliers, nutrunners, blow guns. Auto-retraction clears the floor between operations, eliminating tripping hazards.
Woodworking and furniture production — staplers, nail guns, chip blowing. The closed case keeps sawdust off the hose.
Metalworking and welding — air blasting, part cooling. Steel case and PU Braid hose withstand metal spatter and oil.
Frequently Asked Questions about the HR04-UB8012
How do I decode the HR04-UB8012 code?
HR04 = closed metal case. UB = PU Braid hose. 80 = ID 8.0 mm. 12 = 12 m length.
What is the maximum working pressure?
Working pressure — 15 bar. Burst pressure — 60 bar. Compatible with all standard industrial compressors.
Can it connect to a 1/2″ air main?
The reel has 1/4″ thread. Use a reducing adapter or quick-release coupling — available from Acvatron.
Why does the inlet rotate 360°?
The 360° brass swivel allows connection from any angle without twisting the supply pipe. Essential for ceiling mounting or side-entry air supply.
How is PU Braid hose better than standard PU?
Polyester braid gives: working pressure 15 bar (vs 10–12 for plain PU), resistance to mechanical damage, no kinking, longer service life under intensive use.
