Can the STONEHOSE air hammer and auger hose be cut and fitted at non-thickened sections without compromising durability or warranty?

Yes . but cutting and fitting at the marked thickened sections is recommended. STONEHOSE air hammer and auger hose includes a reinforced outer layer every 20 m (marked "TAGLIO / CUT") specifically to strengthen the fitting area and improve bend resistance; using those points produces the most durable, long-lasting joints and aligns with the manufacturerâs installation guidance. You can install fittings in non-thickened sections and the hose will function (itâs a lightweight, flexible PVC/NBR inner, double polyester braid reinforcement, PVC/PU outer), but fittings placed outside the reinforced zones will be less reinforced against bending and abrasion and may reduce durability. Following the marked cut points also ensures optimal performance from a 60 m roll (three 20 m hoses). For warranty concerns, adherence to the recommended cut-and-fit locations is the safest approach; installing fittings in non-thickened areas could affect durability and may impact warranty coverage.

Can I use the STONEHOSE air hammer and auger hose in temperatures below -10Â°C without affecting performance?

The operating temperature range for the STONEHOSE air hammer and auger hose is specified as from -10Â°C to +60Â°C. Using it below -10Â°C may affect performance: at lower temperatures the PVC/PU outer layer and PVC/NBR inner layer become stiffer and less flexible, abrasion resistance and bendability around fittings can decrease, and working pressure characteristics may change. If you must operate below -10Â°C, test the hose in your specific conditions, consider warming or storing hoses in a warmer place before use, and inspect fittings and flexibility frequently. For guaranteed performance, stay within the -10Â°C to +60Â°C range.

Does the STONEHOSE air hammer and auger hose resist abrasion from prolonged use with mineral-oil lubricated tools?

Yes. The STONEHOSE air hammer and auger hose is formulated for good resistance to mineral oils and is described as âvery abrasionâresistant,â making it suitable for prolonged use with mineralâoilâlubricated tools. Its constructionâblack PVC/NBR inner layer (oilâresistant), double polyester braid reinforcement, and a durable PVC/PU outer layerâprovides both oil compatibility and strong wear resistance. For best durability at connection points, install fittings at the reinforced, thickened sections marked every 20 m (âTAGLIO / CUTâ), which better resist bending and abrasion; fittings can still be used in nonâthickened areas if necessary. Operating limits: up to 20 bar (temperatureâdependent) and â10Â°C to +60Â°C.

Additional information

Material	PVC/NBR – a mixture of PVC and NBR
Maximum operating temperature [°C]	60
Minimum operating temperature [°C]	-10
Vacuum resistance	no
Standard length [m]	100, 60
Reinforcement	2 polyester braids

Lightweight, highly flexible compressed air hose with good resistance to mineral oils. Very abrasion-resistant. The yellow color ensures excellent visibility of the hose. The hose has a thickened outer layer every 20 m, marked on the hose (“TAGLIO / CUT”), and it is recommended to cut the hose and install fittings at these points. This reinforces the fitting installation area and makes it more resistant to bending. From a 60 m roll, three 20 m hoses with fittings can be made. However, it is also possible to use the hose with fittings installed in non-thickened areas. The hose is used for pneumatic hammers and drills. Inner layer: black PVC/NBR blend. Reinforcement: double polyester braid. Outer layer: black or yellow PVC/PU blend. Working pressure: 20 bar – dependent on temperature. Operating temperature: from -10°C to +60°C.
