Frequently asked questions
Common questions about LOC-LINE from 3G Electric.
What sizes of LOC-LINE vacuum hose segments does 3G Electric supply?
3G Electric supplies LOC-LINE vacuum hose segments in 2-1/2 in diameter. Available lengths include 1 ft, 2 ft, and 20 ft segments, sold in multi-piece packs. The 1 ft and 2 ft segments are typically used to build or extend modular vacuum lines, while the 20 ft segments are supplied in packs of 20 for longer runs. Antistatic versions are also available in the same diameters and lengths. When ordering, confirm the required length and whether standard or antistatic material is needed for the application.
When should antistatic LOC-LINE vacuum hose be used instead of standard hose?
Antistatic LOC-LINE vacuum hose is intended for systems where static discharge must be minimized. This includes dust collection and chip evacuation in woodworking, plastics machining, and other processes that generate combustible dust or where static buildup can affect product or equipment. The antistatic segments are available in 2-1/2 in diameter and in 1 ft and 2 ft lengths, supplied in packs. Standard acetal copolymer hose does not provide the same static dissipation, so the antistatic variant should be specified when the application requires it.
Which LOC-LINE assembly pliers are available for different hose sizes?
3G Electric lists LOC-LINE assembly pliers for 1/4 in, 1/2 in, and 3/4 in hose. The pliers are size-specific and are used to seat hose connections without damaging the hose material. The 1/4 in plier is MPN 78001, the 1/2 in plier is MPN 78002, and the 3/4 in plier is MPN 78004. These are intended for fluid-handling systems, coolant lines, and pneumatic setups where connections are assembled or disassembled regularly. Using the correct plier size helps maintain the integrity of the hose ends.
Can LOC-LINE vacuum hose segments be combined with existing LOC-LINE components?
Yes. LOC-LINE is a modular system, and the vacuum hose segments supplied by 3G Electric are designed to connect with LOC-LINE fittings, nozzles, and manifolds. The segments snap together by hand, allowing custom-length vacuum lines to be built or extended. This means existing LOC-LINE installations can be modified by adding or replacing individual segments rather than replacing the entire assembly. Confirm the diameter and connection type of the existing components before ordering to ensure compatibility.
What information is needed to order LOC-LINE hose assembly pliers from 3G Electric?
To order LOC-LINE hose assembly pliers, specify the hose diameter the pliers will be used with. The pliers are available for 1/4 in, 1/2 in, and 3/4 in hose, each with a distinct manufacturer part number. The part number and hose size should be confirmed against the existing hose in service. 3G Electric lists the MPN for each SKU to simplify cross-referencing. If the hose size is unknown, measure the hose outside diameter or check the existing LOC-LINE components for size markings before ordering.
