air-hose

Compressor's flexible extension

An air-hose is a flexible tube that carries compressed air from a source to a tool or device.

Mechanics use air-hoses to power pneumatic wrenches and spray guns; divers connect them to breathing apparatus.

The air-hose to the compressor had sprung a leak.
