valve is flexible and swivelling, which can automatically fit head movement of the
operator.
2.8.
High Pressure Hose
A high-pressure gauge is connected with the high-pressure hose. The pressure
gauge surface is luminescent, so the pressure display can be viewed clearly even
in the dark. Connection of the pressure gauge and the high-pressure hose is
swivelling and can turn in 360°, this makes easy for the operator to view the pressure
gauge at any position.
There is a small hole in the high-pressure hose, which is safety hole. In case there
is leak from the high-pressure hose, air will be released from the small safety hole,
thus to avoid the high-pressure hose from exploding.
