EPeS High Pressure HPA Hose, Twisted, 1/8 NPT - Black

EPeS High-Pressure HPA Hose, Straight

HPA high-pressure hose is a composite stiffer hose that handles a higher working pressure up to 900 psi. Unlike low-pressure hoses, it is less flexible and less elastic. The hose is equipped with 1/8 NPT male (outer) thread fittings for connection.
Suitable fittings are equipped with 1/8 NPT internal thread.
It is made in the Czech Republic and combines top-quality materials and manufacturing to provide players with unparalleled performance during use.

Technical Specifications

• Hose Material: Composite
• Type: Twisted
• Working Pressure: Up to 900 psi
• Connector Type: 1/8 NPT (outer thread)

Variants of EPeS Hoses

In an effort to provide an infinite number of combinations for your dream HPA setup, EPeS offers the following variants of HPA hoses:

1. S&F Hoses with Braiding (in lengths 80/100/115 cm):

• With QD Foster Series 2 female + male fittings
• With QD Foster Series 2 female + 1/8 NPT male thread fittings (formerly known as Mk.II)

2. Inlet Hoses for HPA Systems:

• IGL S&F for grip with a length of 20 cm (QD male + screw-in male thread for 4/6mm fitting)
• IGL SlimLine for grip (QD male + male thread for direct installation into systems like P* Jack/F1/F2 and others)
• USL SlimLine for stock (QD male + male thread for direct installation into systems like P* Jack/F1/F2 and others)

3. Straight Hoses without Braiding (in lengths 60/90/130 cm with 1/8 NPT male thread fittings):

• classic variant (working pressure up to 900 psi, lower flow)
• coiled hose (working pressure up to 900 psi, lower flow)

How to Assemble an HPA Setup:

Switching from manual and electric guns to HPA propulsion may initially seem complicated, but it actually follows a proven principle that you know from AEG guns.
The propulsion is not electricity, but compressed air. This air must be stored in a bottle that screws onto a regulator, similar to how electrical energy is stored in batteries and connected to the gun with a connector.
Just as electricity flows from the battery through cables, air flows through the hose. The battery dictates the power based on the number of cells, while in HPA the power is managed by setting the regulator.
Subsequently, the air enters the HPA unit in the gearbox, where it handles the shot, just as electricity does through the motor.

So, for a complete HPA setup, you will need:

• HPA bottle with compressed air (bigger bottle = more shots, but more weight and harder placement on gear)
• Regulator (set the output pressure according to the desired performance and capabilities of the unit)
• HPA hose (from the regulator to the gun output, preferably choose a type with QD fittings)
• HPA unit/system in the gun
