Hose Installation
Proper installation of the hose is essential to the proper operation and safe
use of the hose and related equipment. Improper installation of the hose
can result in serious injury or property damage caused by spraying fluids or
flying projectiles. In order to avoid serious bodily injury or property damage
resulting from improper installation of the hose, you should carefully review
the information in this set-up guide and in the Weatherhead Master Hose
Assembly Catalog. Some of the factors you must consider in installing the
hose properly are:
•
changes in length
•
protection from high temperature sources
• twisting
•
proper bend radius
•
elbows and adapters to relieve strain
•
rubbing or abrasion
•
improper hose movement
These factors and the other information in this catalog regarding hose
installation should be considered by you before installing the hose. Refer to
the Weatherhead Master Hose Assembly Catalog for further information on
proper hose selection.
Hose Maintenance
Proper maintenance of the hose is essential to the safe use of the hose and
related equipment. Hose should be stored in a dry place. Hose should also
be visually inspected. Any hose that has a cut or gouge in the cover that
exposes the reinforcement should be retired from service. Hoses should also
be inspected for kinking or broken reinforcement. If the outside diameter
of the hose is reduced by 20% at the spot where it is kinked then the hose
should be retired from service. Inadequate attention to maintenance of
the hose can result in hose leakage, bursting, or other failure which can
cause serious bodily injury or property damage from spraying fluids, flying
projectiles, or other substances. Refer to the Weatherhead Master Hose
Assembly Catalog for information on proper hose maintenance.
Hose and Field Attachable Hose Ends
Weatherhead Hose and Field Attachable Hose Ends have been engineered
and designed as a complete hose assembly system. Component
compatibility along with the use of quality components insures the
production of reliable hose assemblies when assembled properly. The use
or intermixing of ends and hose not specifically engineered and designed
for use with each other may result in the production of unsafe or unreliable
hose assemblies. This can result in hose assembly leakage, hose separation
or other failures which can cause serious bodily injury or property damage
from spraying fluids, flying projectiles, or other substances. The Weatherhead
warranty is limited to apply only when Weatherhead Field Attachable Hose
Ends are used on the compatible Weatherhead hose.
Coll-O-Crimp® Hose, Hose Ends and
Assembly Equipment Compatibility
The Coll-O-Crimp® Equipment Package, Coll-O-Crimp® Hose Ends and
Coll-O-Crimp Hose have been engineered and designed as a complete
hose assembly system. Each component of the Coll-O-Crimp hose
assembly system is compatible with other Coll-O-Crimp components to
which it relates. Component compatibility, along with the use of quality
components, insures the production of reliable hose assemblies when
assembled properly. The use or intermixing of fittings and hose not
specifically engineered and designed for use with each other and Coll-O-
Crimp equipment is not recommended and may result in the production
of unsafe or unreliable hose assemblies. This can result in hose assembly
leakage, hose separation or other failures which can cause serious bodily
injury or property damage from spraying fluids, flying projectiles, or other
substances. The Weatherhead warranty is limited to apply only when Coll-O-
Crimp Hose Ends and compatible Coll-O-Crimp Hose are used with Coll-O-
Crimp assembly equipment.
