4.23 Hose Spacing Guidelines
Background When laying hose in the application area, the space between individual lines of
hose significantly affects the progress of the application. Although it is impossible
to predict the ambient conditions for each job site, Wacker Neuson Corporation
recommends observing the following guidelines to maximize efficiency.
Hose spacing
diagram Refer to the diagram and table below when placing hoses in the application area.
Note: Adjustments may be necessary to achieve maximum efficiency.
Note: To increase heat penetration, cover the hoses with a plastic vapor barrier
and two layers of insulated blankets. For concrete curing, cover the concrete with
plastic, place the hoses on top of the plastic, then cover the hoses with two layers
of insulated blankets.
Note: The hoses may be positioned vertically along concrete framing walls for
curing applications. Contact Wacker Neuson Application Support for more
information.
Application Distance (d) Description

Excavation thaw 61 cm (24 in.) Partially thaws the ground for excavation.
Compaction thaw 45.7 cm (18 in.) Completely thaws the ground for compaction.
Accelerated thaw 30.5 cm (12 in) Up to 50% faster than compaction thaw.
