Description

Mender Type: Rigid
Material: Nylon
Hose Inner Diameter: 1/4 inch
Thread Size: 1/4 inch
Package Quantity: 1

The COILHOSE PNEUMATICS RK090 is a rigid hose mender designed to repair or join sections of pneumatic hose with a 1/4-inch inner diameter. Constructed from nylon, this fitting accepts 1/4-inch threaded connections and provides a firm, straight union between hose ends. It is a common repair component found in compressed-air distribution systems across industrial, commercial, and shop-floor environments. Pneumatic technicians and maintenance mechanics reach for this type of fitting when a hose section is damaged and a full replacement is not practical or immediately available.

This rigid mender is suited for use in low-pressure pneumatic lines where a non-flexible, inline connection is acceptable. Typical applications include air tool hose repair, compressor drop-line maintenance, and general shop-air plumbing where 1/4-inch ID hose is the standard. The nylon construction keeps weight low and resists corrosion in typical shop-air conditions.

Key Features

Rigid mender design provides a solid, straight inline connection between hose sections
Nylon construction resists corrosion and keeps the fitting lightweight
1/4-inch inner diameter sizing matches standard small-bore pneumatic hose
1/4-inch thread connection for secure fitment
Compact form factor simplifies installation in tight routing situations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or repair fitting for pneumatic hose assemblies with a 1/4-inch inner diameter and 1/4-inch threaded end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a pneumatic technician or maintenance mechanic. Depressurize and bleed down the air line completely before cutting the hose or removing any fittings. Ensure both hose ends are cut cleanly and squarely before seating them onto the mender barbs. Follow applicable compressed-air system codes and manufacturer torque guidelines for threaded connections.
