Prevost Stoflex Anti-Static Hose Whip Assembly
Lightweight Flexibility where it Counts.
Upgrade your tool ergonomics and protect delicate finishes with the Prevost Stoflex Hose Whip. This short, ultra-flexible lead-in hose is designed to be installed between your air tool and the main air supply line.
By moving the heavy metal coupler away from the tool inlet, the Stoflex Whip significantly reduces wrist strain and eliminates the risk of a bulky connector scratching your work surface. It is the mandatory accessory for professional painters, autobody technicians, and finishers.
Key Features & Benefits
- Anti-Static Technology: The Stoflex hose material is conductive, preventing the buildup of static electricity caused by high-velocity airflow. This is critical for spray painting, as it stops static from attracting dust particles to the wet finish.
- Superior Ergonomics: Stoflex is incredibly lightweight and flexible. Adding this whip makes your impact wrench, sander, or spray gun feel lighter and easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
- Vibration Isolation: Air tools vibrate intensely. Connecting a rigid coupler directly to the tool transfers that vibration into the valve mechanism, causing wear. The whip acts as a shock absorber, extending the life of your couplers and plugs.
- Scratch-Free “Push-Lock” Fittings: These assemblies typically feature Prevost’s signature clamp-free brass fittings. Without protruding hose clamps, the hose exterior is perfectly smooth, preventing accidental scratches on vehicle fenders or furniture.
- High Visibility: The distinct blue (or sometimes black/blue) finish identifies it as a premium anti-static line.

Why Use a Whip Hose?
Plugging a heavy steel coupler directly into the bottom of a spray gun makes it bottom-heavy and hard to balance. The Prevost Stoflex Whip restores the tool’s natural balance and acts as a flexible “shock absorber” for your air system.
