Air Flex swivel connectors by Chicago Pneumatic make rigid hoses flexible

Dobco carries CP Air Flex swivel connectors.

Chicago Pneumatic, or CP, industrial products are available in Canada from Dobco Equipment Ltd. This includes the CP Air Flex line of swivel connectors. Each of these units makes all rigid hoses flexible and multidirectional, which results in less effort needed for the operator, while making work in hard-to-reach areas easier.

Other major benefits of these CP tools include reduction in wear, higher user comfort, and a higher level of occupational safety.

Reducing the risk of tendonitis

Hose rigidity is a key advantage of these swivel connectors: throughout the period of use, the hose remains in the perfect working position. Not only does this make the equipment far easier to use, especially in areas that are tough to access, but it also reduces the risk of tendonitis, with no twisting. In addition, Air Flex also lowers the chances of premature wear in the hose.

There are 13 different models of Chicago Pneumatic Air Flex swivel connectors available from Dobco. Thread size of these units range from ¼ of an inch to ½ an inch, and both BSP and NPT thread types are available. Among the specific options available in this group are the Air Flex NPT 3/8″ connector with cover, the Air Flex NPT half-inch high-capacity swivel connector, the swivel air inlet BSP quarter-inch unit, and the Air Flex BSP quarter-inch unit with cover. There is a tool available for every kind of relevant application.

Air Flex swivel connectors make up just one of many types of air-line accessories available from CP. These products are developed specifically to be used with the manufacturer’s own tools and equipment, but they can also be used with other pneumatic products and for other applications with any pneumatic equipment. The CP team developed this lineup with a focus on performance, quality, ergonomics, and safety. CP air-line accessories allow users to achieve higher productivity with lower energy consumption, sustainable reduction in energy expenses, and longer product operational lifespans.

Other examples of CP air-line accessories available include air fuses, hoses, couplings, blow guns, ball valves, nipples, hose reels, oilers, and oil.
