In screw air compressors, the inlet section is where performance begins. The Atlas Copco 1622178881 inlet metal hose acts as a flexible bridge that compensates for vibration and misalignment between rigid components. It also minimizes transmission of mechanical stress to the airend, thus extending the lifespan of key rotating assemblies.
This hose is constructed using corrugated stainless-steel tubing reinforced with a tightly woven external braid, offering high flexibility without compromising strength. The smooth internal flow path ensures minimal air resistance and prevents particle buildup, keeping the intake air consistent and contamination-free.
Unlike ordinary rubber or plastic hoses that degrade with temperature and oil vapor, this metal hose maintains full integrity under prolonged exposure to suction vacuum and compressor heat, making it ideal for harsh industrial environments.
Material & Construction
- Base material: Stainless steel for excellent corrosion and fatigue resistance.
- Inner tube: Corrugated design for maximum flexibility under suction pressure.
- Outer layer: Stainless steel braid reinforcement to prevent collapse and kinking.
- End connections: Welded or crimped stainless steel fittings ensure a leak-proof assembly.
- Pressure range: Designed for vacuum and positive pressure applications.
Each hose assembly is precision welded, pressure-tested, and inspected before shipment to ensure a stable air supply and structural integrity during compressor operation.
Function & Advantages
Every flexible hose undergoes rigorous mechanical and pressure testing to ensure durability under demanding compressor conditions:
- Dimensional verification for accurate fitment.
- Vacuum integrity test to ensure no suction leaks.
- Pressure endurance test simulating real compressor cycles.
- Visual and weld inspection for uniformity and surface quality.
These tests ensure the part meets or exceeds OEM Atlas Copco performance standards, providing operators with dependable air system reliability.
Installation Notes
- Ensure both connection ends are clean and properly aligned before installation.
- Do not over-twist or bend the hose beyond its minimum bend radius.
- Verify sealing washers or gaskets are properly seated to prevent air leakage.
- After installation, perform a vacuum check to confirm airtightness.
Proper installation helps the hose absorb system movement and prevent stress from affecting compressor components.
Compatibility & Application
This flexible hose is designed for use in the air intake system of Atlas Copco screw compressors.
While the specific model range for part number 1622178881 is still being verified, it is typically used with medium-to-large GA and Z series compressors.
