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
