FLEX 12 Ft. Anti Static Hose for Giraffe GE 5 – 412309

While the 12 ft. Anti Static Hose for Giraffe GE 5 allows you to connect the sander to the connecting collection bag to reduce the mess associated with sanding and polishing, there is more significance to the design than easy clean up. There a safety concerns with sanding jobs, as the friction between wood and dust particles trapped in a hose can build up to a point of combustion. The movement between elements creates static electricity, just as what is felt when walking with socks on a carpeted floor or stepping out of an automobile. When this occurs, a spark of electricity can jump toward the particles and ignite them into flames. This is a serious problem for anyone operating a sanding device as well as the surrounding environment.

The anti static hose was designed to reduce the build up of static electricity while the particles are transferred into the vacuum receptacle. Flexibility of design allows the hose to bend and twist without restricting the airflow needed for a successful material transfer. The length of the hose makes it convenient for the user to work the surface of the project without getting tangled or continually needing to reposition either the sander. The rubber composition also helps reduce static build up and is durable to the pressure elements put on it by the vacuum suction. This accessory makes it much more convenient to choose the Giraffe GE 5 for your sanding needs.
