6mm PU Tube Air Hose – By the METRE

$2.99 Inc. GST

This 6mm outer diameter (OD) and 4mm inner diameter (ID) polyurethane hose is designed for conveying compressed air in low- to medium-pressure pneumatic systems. The flexible material allows for tight-radius bend configurations without kinking, making it suitable for routing within cable drag chains, machinery enclosures, and compact automation assemblies. It interfaces directly with standard 6mm push-in fittings to connect air valves, cylinders, pneumatic actuators, and air-driven tooling across industrial motion control platforms and workshop fluid power circuits.

Description

Technical Overview

The 6mm PU Tube Air Hose conveys compressed air throughout fluid power systems. Engineers build this hose from polyurethane to deliver high flexibility and superior kink resistance. Consequently, it maintains continuous pressure delivery, even within compact routing layouts. Furthermore, the hose powers pneumatic actuators, fittings, and air-driven tooling with reliable performance. In addition, it features a 6mm outer diameter (OD) alongside a 4mm inner diameter (ID). Therefore, technicians easily connect it to standard 6mm OD push-in pneumatic fittings. As a result, the tubing seamlessly integrates into automated machines, motion platforms, and industrial air distribution circuits. Ultimately, system designers rely on this hose whenever they require consistent airflow and strain-free routing.

Applications

Operators frequently use this polyurethane pneumatic hose to link air valves, cylinders, air nozzles, and pneumatic actuators. For instance, manufacturing plants install it across automation setups, assembly lines, and motion systems. Moreover, its flexible structure simplifies tight-radius routing inside cramped machinery enclosures, cable drag chains, and small-scale automation equipment. Additionally, technicians pair the tubing with standard 6mm OD push-in fittings for rapid assembly. Accordingly, maintenance teams deploy it across air-driven tools, thermoforming equipment, and workshop pneumatic lines. In short, these environments demand leak-free operation, and this hose delivers consistent reliability under daily use.

Maker Store Tips and Tricks

  • Cut the hose square using a dedicated tube cutter to ensure a smooth, perpendicular edge for leak-free sealing in push-in fittings.

  • Ensure the hose is fully inserted past the internal O-ring seal of the fitting before pressurising the pneumatic system.

  • Maintain minimum bend radius limits during routing to prevent flow restriction or premature fatigue in dynamic applications.
