Prevost Stoflex Hose Assemblies

The Anti-Static Professional Choice for Paint & Fine Finish

The Prevost Stoflex Hose Assembly is a high-performance, ultra-flexible air line specifically engineered for environments where static electricity and surface contamination are critical concerns. Recognized by its distinct black textured cover, the Stoflex hose is the industry standard for professional spray painting, automotive refinishing, and sensitive electronic assembly.

Designed to be lightweight and extremely supple, it provides the painter or technician with effortless movement, ensuring the hose never “fights” the user during precision work.

Key Features

• Anti-Static Construction: The Stoflex material is specifically formulated to dissipate static electricity. This prevents the buildup of charges that can attract dust to the workpiece or cause dangerous sparks in volatile environments like paint booths.
• Silicone-Free Guaranteed: Essential for painting and coating applications, Stoflex hoses are strictly silicone-free. This eliminates the risk of “fish-eyes” or surface craters in your finish, ensuring a perfect result every time.
• Ultra-Flexible & Lightweight: Unlike standard rubber or PVC hoses, Stoflex remains incredibly limp and flexible even under full pressure. This reduces wrist fatigue and prevents the hose from “kicking,” allowing for smoother passes with a spray gun.
• Non-Marring Rubber Cover: The soft, high-quality EPDM rubber blend cover is designed to be gentle on finished surfaces. If the hose accidentally brushes against a freshly painted car door or polished cabinet, it won’t leave marks or scratches.
• Heat & Chemical Resistance: Stoflex is built to withstand the elevated temperatures found in bake ovens (up to 158°F) and is highly resistant to paint thinners, solvents, and booth chemicals.

Technical Specifications

The Perfect Paint Booth Setup

When paired with a Prevo S1 Safety Coupler, the Stoflex assembly becomes a “Zero-Contamination” workstation. The S1 coupler allows for one-handed, push-button disconnection that vents pressure safely, while the Stoflex hose ensures that the air reaching your gun is delivered through a clean, static-managed path. It is the preferred choice for top-tier collision centers and furniture manufacturers globally.

Ideal Applications

• Automotive Refinishing: The gold standard for basecoat and clearcoat applications where dust-free results are mandatory.
• Industrial Liquid Coating: Ideal for furniture, cabinetry, and aerospace painting.
• Electronic Assembly: Safe for use around sensitive components where ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection is required.
• Pneumatic Grinding/Sanding: The flexibility allows for intricate movement around complex parts without the hose snagging.

Ordering Tip

Prevost Stoflex assemblies are typically available in 8mm (5/16″) and 10mm (3/8″) internal diameters. For HVLP spray guns, the 10mm ID is highly recommended to ensure the high volume of air (CFM) required for proper atomization.
