The 3/16" Red Acetylene Hose supplied in an 800-foot reel is a strategic inventory solution for industrial distributors, large-scale fabrication facilities, and maintenance departments. This single-line hose is engineered specifically for the safe transport of acetylene gas in oxy-fuel welding and cutting applications. By purchasing in bulk, facilities gain the versatility to fabricate custom hose assemblies on-demand, eliminating the constraints of pre-packaged standard lengths and reducing material waste.
This hose features a 3/16-inch inner diameter (ID), which is the preferred size for light to medium-duty applications where torch maneuverability is critical. The hose is manufactured to meet rigorous industry standards for pressure retention and burst strength, typically rated for a working pressure suitable for standard acetylene regulation (always verify specific pressure ratings on the hose jacket). The red exterior jacket follows the universal color-coding standard for fuel gases, ensuring immediate visual identification and preventing dangerous cross-connections with oxygen lines.
Designed for compatibility with standard B-size fittings (CGA 022/023), this bulk hose can be easily crimped using standard ferrules and crimping tools. The "B-Fitted" designation in some contexts refers to its readiness to accept these standard connections. The rubber compound used in the hose construction offers excellent resistance to abrasion, kinking, and environmental wear, ensuring a long service life even in harsh industrial environments. It is strictly for use with Acetylene gas; alternative fuel gases such as Propane or MAPP may require Grade T hose depending on the oil resistance requirements.
Ideal for service trucks and tool cribs, the 800-foot reel format allows for efficient storage and dispensing. Whether replacing worn lines on portable torch kits or running long-distance supply lines in a shipyard, this bulk offering ensures you have the necessary footage available. Proper storage involves keeping the reel in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ozone sources to maintain the integrity of the rubber over time.
