Pneumatic Hose 100' – SSC PHOSE 7/16" x 5/8" Anti-Ozone Hose

The SSC PHOSE Pneumatic Hose is a 100-foot roll of flexible pneumatic tubing designed for garage door, gate, safety-edge, and entry-access systems that use air pressure to transmit an activation signal.

This hose is commonly used in pneumatic sensing-edge systems and other air-operated control applications where a pressure change must travel through the hose to a pneumatic switch or interface device.

Service Spring Corporation lists PHOSE as a 7/16" x 5/8" pneumatic hose supplied in a 100-foot roll and manufactured with an anti-ozone additive to help improve durability in demanding garage door and access-control environments.

Specifications

Part Number: PHOSE

Product Type: Pneumatic Hose

Hose Size: 7/16" x 5/8"

Length: 100 ft

Construction: Flexible pneumatic hose

Special Feature: Anti-ozone additive

Application: Pneumatic safety-edge and control systems

How It Works

Pneumatic garage door and gate systems use changes in air pressure to activate a switch or control device.

When a compatible pneumatic sensing edge is compressed, the air inside the edge and connected hose is displaced.

That pressure pulse travels through the PHOSE pneumatic hose to the connected air switch or pneumatic interface.

The switch then sends the appropriate control signal to the garage door operator, gate operator, or other connected equipment.

Because the system depends on air pressure, the condition of the hose and the quality of all pneumatic connections are important.

A cracked, leaking, kinked, improperly connected, or deteriorated hose can weaken the pressure signal and cause inconsistent operation.

Applications

Typical applications include:

• Commercial garage door pneumatic safety edges
• Rolling steel door safety systems
• Sectional overhead door safety-edge systems
• Gate pneumatic sensing systems
• Warehouse door applications
• Industrial door control systems
• Vehicle-access systems
• Air-switch activation systems
• Replacement pneumatic tubing
• Pneumatic entry-access equipment

Compatibility

The SSC PHOSE is intended for compatible pneumatic systems requiring 7/16" x 5/8" hose.

It may be used with compatible:

• Pneumatic sensing edges
• Air switches
• Pneumatic safety-edge systems
• Garage door operators
• Gate operators
• Pneumatic control interfaces
• Appropriate hose fittings and connectors

IMPORTANT:

PHOSE is not a universal replacement for every type of sensing-edge tubing.

Compatibility depends on the physical hose dimensions, pneumatic switch requirements, sensing-edge design, and overall system configuration.

Before ordering, verify:

• Required hose dimensions
• Existing hose type
• Safety-edge manufacturer specifications
• Pneumatic switch requirements
• Required hose length
• Connector and fitting compatibility

Do not substitute pneumatic hose for electrical safety-edge wiring or signal hose unless the system manufacturer specifically permits it.

Pneumatic Hose vs. Signal Hose

SSC lists PHOSE pneumatic hose separately from SHOSE signal hose.

PHOSE:

• Part number PHOSE
• 7/16" x 5/8"
• 100-foot roll
• Anti-ozone additive
• Intended for compatible pneumatic systems

SHOSE:

• Part number SHOSE
• .375" inside diameter
• .110" wall thickness
• 50-foot length
• Service-station-grade signal hose

These products are not automatically interchangeable.

PHOSE is generally used as pneumatic tubing within compatible air-operated sensing systems, while SHOSE is specifically listed by SSC as signal hose for vehicle-activated entry-access applications.

Always select the hose specified for the system being serviced.

Related Pneumatic Components

Depending on the installation, PHOSE may be used with compatible pneumatic components such as:

• Pneumatic sensing edges
• Air switches
• Pneumatic interface devices
• Hose connectors
• Hose plugs
• Appropriate junction fittings
• Garage door or gate operator control systems

The exact components required depend on the sensing-edge and operator configuration.

Package Contents

• 1 roll SSC PHOSE Pneumatic Hose
• 100-foot total length
• 7/16" x 5/8" hose size

Pneumatic sensing edges, switches, plugs, fittings, connectors, operators, wiring, and additional accessories are not included unless specifically stated with the product.

Installation Requirements

Before installation:

• Verify the required hose size
• Confirm compatibility with the pneumatic sensing edge or switch
• Determine the required hose route and length
• Inspect fittings and connection points
• Cut the hose cleanly to the required length
• Avoid crushing or deforming the hose during installation
• Make sure all pneumatic connections are secure and airtight

Route the hose with gradual bends whenever possible.

Avoid sharp bends or kinks that can restrict airflow and reduce the strength of the pneumatic pressure signal.

Do not stretch the hose tightly between connection points.

Leave enough flexibility for movement, service access, and normal operation of the door or gate system.

Installation & Safety

Disconnect electrical power to the garage door or gate operator before servicing any connected safety or control system.

If the operator has battery backup, disconnect the battery when required before servicing.

Keep pneumatic hose away from:

• Garage door tracks
• Rollers
• Hinges
• Springs
• Cables
• Drums
• Chains
• Sprockets
• Sharp metal edges
• Hot surfaces
• Operator drive components
• Pinch points and moving hardware

Do not use hose that is:

• Cracked
• Cut
• Brittle
• Flattened
• Kinked
• Chemically damaged
• Excessively weathered

After installation:

• Inspect the complete pneumatic circuit for leaks
• Test the connected sensing edge
• Confirm reliable activation of the pneumatic switch
• Cycle the garage door or gate several times
• Verify that the hose remains clear of moving components
• Test all required photo eyes, sensing edges, reversing devices, and other entrapment-protection systems

A pneumatic sensing system is only one component of the overall garage door or gate safety system.

Never bypass or disable required entrapment-protection equipment.
