Mirka: hoses and adapters
Overview of system-specific hoses, adapters and connection components.

Hoses, adapters and connections link machines to their supply or other system components. Distinguish compressed-air, extraction and other connections clearly. Similar diameters mean neither equal load capacity nor identical function. Select by medium, conditions, both mating connections and explicit suitability for the machine.
An extraction hose works differently from a compressed-air line. Observe medium, permitted pressure or vacuum and other manufacturer limits for every connection. Do not use parts for other media simply because they fit mechanically. Even combined routing must keep individual functions clearly assigned.
Record both ends, including internal or external thread, size and system designation. Different thread types or coupling profiles cannot reliably be forced to fit. Required sealing also depends on construction. Check whether an adapter changes geometry alone or must perform another function.
For pneumatic tools, the entire supply must suit required airflow. Undersized or unsuitable connectors can impair operation. Route hoses without sharp kinks or constant pulling on connections. Consider machine movement radius and safe workplace routes.
Check hoses, cuffs and couplings for wear, cracks and safe function. Disconnect power or pressure as instructed before changing parts. Antistatic properties do not replace approval for other conditions. For tool extraction alone, the separate Extraction hoses & adapters section offers a more targeted choice.

Medium, conditions, exact coupling profile and connection design on both ends. A single inch or millimetre dimension often is insufficient.
No. Sealing principle and permitted installation depend on construction. Follow manufacturer information instead of a general sealing method.
Specify medium, machine model and both mating connections. This enables targeted connection selection.
