Abrasion Protection
Abrasion protection is required on all refrigeration hoses where rubbing and chafing may be an issue. Hoses must also
be secured in these areas as well to minimize movement.

Always keep refrigeration hoses from rubbing or chafing against sharp metal objects, rotating components or hot
components.

Split loom, edge guard, or similar protection (installer supplied) must be used.
Protective Covers and Guards
Protective covers and guards are recommended for any exposed refrigeration hoses either inside or outside the cargo
box that could become damaged during daily use. These covers and guards are available from Thermo King.
