Installation

Installation

In order to get satisfactory service and longer life from stainless steel flexible hose, the hoses assembly should be installed in the right manner. The sharp bending a hose assembly, particularly at the welded ends, stressed and twisted mounting and excessive fatigue are main causes of premature failure. See installation chart for correct and incorrect modes.

Incorrect

Dimension the hose adequately
Avoid excessive bending of the hose
Do not allow the hose to sag
Do not move the hose obliquely to the installation plane
Avoid torsional twist when fittings are not in line
Avoid torsion due to Angular movements

correct

Take care that the flexible length is not too short
Use pipe bends
Use a support
Movement should be along
Install in one plane only
All movements should be only along the axis of the hose
