Many failures in industrial hoses are not due to the product or its quality, but rather to improper handling or installation. A hose that is used incorrectly can fail within weeks, even when operating within its rated conditions.
Industrial hose protection starts with proper handling, installation and support. Many premature hose failures are not caused by the hose itself, but by dragging, twisting, excessive strain, incorrect bend radius or lack of suitable supports.
Common industrial hose handling mistakes
- Do not drag the hose across the floor
- Do not lift it by the fittings
- Avoid twisting
- Use appropriate supports
A hose needs support, not tension.
Hose installation mistakes that cause premature failures
- Observe the minimum bend radius
- Avoid forced installations
- Don’t leave the hose hanging
- Allow for natural curvature
Most problems aren’t caused by the product itself, but by how it’s used.
