2.6 hose installation Warnings
2.6.1 hose installation Warnings
2.6.1.1 If an existing hose is being replaced, remove the old hose. Replacement hose should be the same size and length and pressure rating
as the existing hose. Any variations to existing hose specifications should be pre-approved by the factory.
2.6.1.2 Variations in inner and outer hose diameters will significantly impact reel performance. Factory specifications should be matched as
closely as possible. Contact Conductix-Wampfler Sales for further information.
2.6.1.3 Shut-off and relieve the fluid or air pressure to the reel before attempting to disconnect the hose. Disconnect all pressure as per Lock-
out/Tag-out procedures outlined in OSHA section 1910.147.
2.6.2 hose removal
2.6.2.1 Disconnect supply pressure from the reel and carefully drain pressure from hoses.
2.6.2.2 Remove ball stop and all the spring tension on the reel. Make sure that the hose ends are through the roller guide arm and back on the
hose drum.
2.6.2.3 Remove the roller guide head from the guide arm.
2.6.2.4 Remove the hoses from the drum by looping the hoses over the flange without turning the spool.
2.6.2.5 Remove the swivel on the outer side of the spool from the reel shaft.
2.6.2.6 Remove the two (2) clamps that hold the hoses to the drum.
2.6.2.7 Remove the five (5) 1/4-20 nuts from the outer flange and slide the flange off the edge of the shaft.
2.6.2.8 Slide the drum off the remaining drum bolts.
2.6.2.9 Unscrew hose fittings from shaft assemblies. If hoses were not supplied with swivel ends, it will be necessary to cut banding from hoses
to allow hose to rotate independent from each other.
2.6.3 hose installation
2.6.3.1 Prepare the hose to be loaded onto the reel. Support the hose, or lay the full length of hose out in the direction of travel. Make sure the
hose will lay flat by removing any twist from the hose.
2.6.3.2 Apply pipe joint compound to all NPT connections and connect the hose to the shaft or elbow assemblies as required to avoid kinking
the hose when wound on the shaft.
2.6.3.3 Slide the cable drum onto the five (5) drum bolts guiding the two on either side of the drum entrance through the tubing.
2.6.3.4 Slide the outer flange on the shaft and insert the drum bolts into the bolt holes.
2.6.3.5 Install the (5) 1/4-20 nuts on the drum bolts and tighten.
2.6.3.6 Install cable clamps on cable by bolting through the two holes in the drum. Make sure the clamps are the right size to hold tightly
around the hose.
2.6.3.7 Band the two hoses together by an acceptable method for your hose type and application. Bands should not be placed more than two
feet (2’) apart. This step is not required for bonded dual hoses such as oxygen/acetylene hose.
2.6.3.8 Wind the hose onto the reel by turning the spool manually in a counter clockwise direction when viewed from the spool side. (Custom
left hand reels are reversed.)
2.6.3.9 Reinstall the roller guide and outer swivel and adjust set-up turns as required.
2.6.4 hose Pressurization
2.6.4.1 Verify all connections before pressurizing the hose reel.
2.6.4.2 Fully extend the hose before pressurizing the line. The hose will tend to expand and may become wedged between the flanges.
2.6.4.3 Inspect both the reel and the hose for leaks (using soap & water for all gas applications) at the joints after initial pressurization.
