HOSE CLAMP INSTALLATION TECHNIQUE
In this fast and simple technique, a hose clamp is used to fix the manifold/atomization line to walls or any surface
where there is continuous support. The hose clamp is used at a frequency of approximately 16" (450mm) on-center
for flexible line and approximately 36” (925mm) on-center for stainless steel line. This method can be used to run
the hose/line either horizontally or vertically. See Figure 9 for further information.
It may be useful to mark out the path that you want the manifold hose or atomization line to follow on the support
surface. Do this using chalk line or a pencil. Consider line drainage when installing manifold/atomization lines.
Open the hose clamps and wrap each around the hose/line to be supported at not less than 16" (450mm) center to
center.
Lift one end of the hose/line into position and attach the clamp to the support surface using a screw. When attaching
to masonry, it will be necessary to drill a hole and use a wall anchor and screw to hold the hose clamp in position. If
attaching to metalwork, self-drilling and tapping screws can be used and when fixing to timber normal wood screws
can be used.
Work from one side of the manifold/atomization line to the other, pulling the line straight and keeping it straight as
you go. A drainage gradient will have to be preserved. Do not permit the hose/line to sag between support points. If
this is likely to happen, use more clamps. Place clamps about 2” (50 mm) away from hose barb crimp sleeve.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Hose clamps are available in 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" diameter for flexible and stainless steel lines and should be sized
according to the outside diameter of hose being attached.
Screw size should be #10 diameter x 1" (25mm) long in either a dome or hex head style. Do not use countersink
head screws.
