What’s In the Box

This product is supplied as a continuous, un-terminated length of EWS 6.3mm industrial rubber hose, cut precisely to your specified length in metres. No end fittings, ear clips, or regulators are included, allowing you to custom-configure your gas supply lines with your own choice of fittings.

Features

• Heavy-duty, abrasion-resistant outer construction protects the internal core against sharp workshop surfaces and welding spatter.

• High-quality flexible rubber core prevents structural kinking and maintains an uninterrupted flow path during torch manipulation.

• Reinforced woven textile exterior shields the inner gas line against accidental cuts, heavy impacts, and abrasive scrapes.

• All-weather temperature stability ensures consistent flexibility and gas containment across extreme hot and cold workspace environments.

Applications

• Supplying Argon or Argon/CO2 shielding gas mixtures from regulators to MIG and TIG welding power sources.

• Delivering a constant compressed air supply to lightweight pneumatic shop tools including air drills and impact wrenches.

• Routing inert gas lines within dedicated automated welding cells or fixed workshop manifold installations.

• Serving as a heavy-duty, high-pressure line for multi-purpose workspace inflation and pneumatic blow-gun operations.

Benefit-Driven Technicals

• 6.3mm internal bore size optimised for precise gas flow rates without creating unnecessary pressure drops across extended line lengths.

• 60 bar maximum pressure rating provides a vast safety margin well above standard shielding gas regulator delivery pressures.

• ISO 2398/A structural compliance guarantees verified manufacturing standards for chemical containment and workplace pressure safety.

• High-density woven reinforcement allows for a tight bend radius without collapsing the cross-sectional area of the gas stream.

EWS Expert Note

When routing this hose for TIG or MIG shielding gas, always secure the connections using genuine twin-eared O-clips rather than standard worm-drive hose clamps. Worm-drive clamps can apply uneven circular tension on a small 6.3mm diameter profile, creating micro-leaks that allow atmospheric oxygen to contaminate your Argon stream and cause weld porosity.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Exceptional 60 bar pressure threshold safely exceeds standard industrial gas delivery requirements.

• Robust rubber compound offers superior resistance to mechanical wear and floor-level workshop traffic compared to basic PVC alternatives.

• Highly pliable material maintains a tight bend radius without causing gas starvation at the machine inlet.

Cons:

• Supplied un-terminated, which requires workshop tools and separate fittings to assemble securely.

• The 6.3mm bore profile limits maximum volume delivery over exceptionally long distances compared to larger 9.5mm supply lines.

Technical FAQs

Is this hose fully compatible with pure Argon and Argon-mix shielding gases?

Yes, the EWS 1392 hose features a high-grade rubber core engineered to transport inert gases like pure Argon, Helium, and Argon/CO2 mixtures without degrading. The stable liner material ensures zero chemical leaching, preserving gas purity between the regulator outlet and the welding torch for clean weld pools.

Can this 6.3mm hose safely withstand the high output pressures of commercial regulators?

This industrial-grade hose is manufactured and rated to a maximum working pressure of 60 bar, making it completely safe for standard welding applications. Because commercial cylinder regulators typically lower shielding gas delivery pressures to between 1 and 4 bar, this hose offers an exceptionally high safety margin.

Does this product carry official European or British safety compliance certifications?

The EWS 1392 hose is fully tested and certified to the international ISO 2398/A standard for rubber hoses used with compressed air and gas applications. This compliance ensures the hose meets strict industrial requirements for burst pressure, tensile strength, and material ozone resistance inside UK fabrication workshops.
