Air Line Model R260-4 Hookah

Product Overview

Model R260-4: Small size; large performance.

The ORIGINAL direct-drive system (introduced on May 1st, 1999), the patriarch of the Air Line family of completely U.S. made hookah compressors made solely for The Air Line's customers by the largest compressor manufacturer in the world. You can be lured with copies of the innovator, but don't get fooled. It is unmatched in performance, features and low maintenance. Powered by the dependable 4.0 HP Honda engine, service on engine and compressor is available at thousands of locations.

Breathing is smooth and easy with Air Lines adjustable hookah-specific second-stage regulators. Regulators have diver adjustment knobs to fine tune the breathing resistance, and a fully rotational 360° swivel to eliminate any regulator pulling like with a standard Scuba system.

Breathing is made comfortable with the 5' (1.5m) US Navy heat hose which will cool the compressed air delivered to the two 60' (18.3m) fully swiveled dive hoses. Included are tow belts to tether the umbilical hoses to your body and two weight belts to maintain proper buoyancy. Maintenance is a breeze with the washable, stainless steel particle filter. Both the compressor and the gas engine come with an owner's manual for proper use and periodic maintenance.

The best part is it floats on the surface directly above you when you dive. A strong long life agricultural-grade inner tube, covered by a 1,000 Denier U/V stabilized Cordura float cover, keeps the compressor high and dry. With a diver down flag and an air intake staff and filter add only your personal gear, a little gas, oil a body of water (not included), and the fun and friends will be forthcoming. Maybe more friends than you knew you had. Also included are hose splitter, 4-washable, stainless-steel particle filters, mesh gear bag for storage of hoses, deflated float tube, air intake staff, etc. and inflator hose to inflate float tube. For a third diver, order the optional Add A Diver package (see SKU: ALHAAD). The unit comes with a traditional red and white diver down flag. Compressor air rating meets Grade-E Compressed Gas Association of America.
