Air Hose Tool Balancer

The Ingersoll-Rand BHR-8 supports pneumatic tools weighing between 0.9 and 1.7 lb. It mounts via a suspension shackle and includes a 1/4 in male air fitting for direct connection to a compressed air supply.

Sustained Operation

The balancer delivers a continuous air flow of 18.4 cfm through a 1/4 in NPT inlet. A 4.25 ft nylon cable with a swiveling rotation allows the tool to follow the operator without twisting the hose during extended use.

Weight Range Fit

The single specification that decides suitability is the 0.9 to 1.7 lb tool weight window. Tools lighter than 0.9 lb will not tension the spring correctly, while heavier tools exceed the balancer's rated capacity.

Questions about this item

How much air does the BHR-8 consume when running continuously?

The balancer consumes 18.4 cfm of air during operation, so your compressor must sustain that flow all day.

What air fitting must I already have on my supply hose for the BHR-8?

It includes a 1/4 in male NPT fitting, so your supply hose needs a matching 1/4 in female NPT coupler.

Will the 4.25 ft cable reach my bench if I keep my existing 11 in overhead mount?

With the reel height at 11 3/4 in when retracted, the 4.25 ft cable extends well below that point for typical bench work.
