Hoses & systems

Flexible airless vacuum systems are components used in airless paint systems to transfer finishing material, such as paints and coatings, from their source (such as a pail or tank) to the airless pump for application to the surface to be painted. These flexible systems allow for greater flexibility in material sourcing, reducing the need to manually transport material to the pump. Here is some important information about flexible airless vacuum systems:

  1. Function: Flexible airless vacuum systems take finishing material from a source, such as a bucket or tank, and convey it to the airless pump. This allows the equipment to have a constant supply of material.
  2. Flexible Hoses: These systems consist of hoses resistant to pressure and finishing materials. The pipes allow the material to be transferred from the source to the pump.
  3. Fittings and Connectors: The hoses are equipped with fittings and connectors to connect them to the airless pump on one end and to the material source on the other.
  4. Hose Length: Hose lengths can vary based on application needs and the distance between the material source and the pump.
  5. Material Compatibility: Pipes must be compatible with the finishing materials used. A material resistant to the chemicals contained in paints and coatings must be chosen.
  6. Maintenance: It is important to clean hoses and fittings regularly to prevent the buildup of debris that could affect paint quality.
  7. Replacement: Hoses can wear out over time from pressure and wear. Replace the hoses if you notice signs of wear or damage.
  8. Flexibility: The use of flexible suction systems allows for greater flexibility in material supply, for example when working on stairs or in confined spaces.

Flexible airless vacuum systems are important components in airless paint systems, allowing for a constant and controlled flow of finishing material from source to pump. It is essential to select high quality systems that are compatible with the finishing material and equipment used to ensure optimum paint results.
