ENGINEERING DATA IMPORTANT POINTS WHEN INSTALLING HOSE ASSEMBLIES AVOID SHARP BENDS AND TORSIONAL TWISTS |
| RIGHT | WRONG | |
| AXIAL LOAD
Axial compression may lead to squirm the corrugated hose. Axial tension lowers the pressure capacity of braided hose. |
|
|
| BENDING Install a hose in its most natural loop. Overbending lowers the pressure capacity and cycle life. |
|
|
| WEIGHT The weight of the hose and the medium must be supported adequately. |
|
|
| TORSION Torsion must be avoided. Torsion occurs when the movements are not in the same plane as the fittings |
