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.
Proper handling, installation, and support are key to ensuring the system’s safety, durability, and performance.
Handling/Support: Common 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.
Installation: Critical Point
- 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.
