0154352008 - ESAB CarryVac Replacement Hose 48mm x 3.5m

Technical Overview of the ESAB CarryVac Hose

The ESAB Vacuum Hose (SKU: 0154352008) is a critical component designed specifically for the ESAB CarryVac series of portable fume extractors. Engineered to maintain the delicate balance between airflow velocity and static pressure, this hose features a 48mm internal diameter. This specific diameter is calculated to optimize the extraction efficiency of the CarryVac motor, ensuring that hazardous particulates are effectively captured at the source without overburdening the vacuum unit.

With a length of 3.5 meters (approximately 11.5 feet), this hose offers a significant operational radius, allowing the welding power source and extraction unit to remain stationary while the operator moves freely around large workpieces. The hose material is selected for its industrial resilience, capable of withstanding the abrasive nature of workshop floors and the potential for incidental contact with hot sparks, although direct contact with the arc should always be avoided. Its ribbed reinforcement structure prevents kinking, which is a common cause of pressure drop in inferior extraction hoses.

Maintenance of the extraction circuit is vital for regulatory compliance and equipment longevity. A compromised hose with micro-leaks or internal obstructions can drastically reduce the CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) rating at the nozzle, rendering the extraction system ineffective. This genuine ESAB replacement part ensures that the system operates at factory specifications, providing the necessary capture velocity to meet safety standards.
