How to Install Stainless Steel Hose Assemblies?

Stainless steel flexible hose assemblies should be installed in the right manner to obtain satisfactory service and longer life. The sharp bending near the end connection, stressed and twisted mounting and excessive fatigue are the main causes of premature failure of the assemblies.

Right		Wrong
In order to maintain allowable bending radium, the flexible hoses folded in convolution have to be erected and stretched out for use		Please note that the directly pull one end of folded hose is forbidden.
Use semi-round pulley to maintain allowable bending radium. and stretched out for use		Extreme bending will break up the hose.
Apply the rotating trolley, being synchronous with flexible hose, to avoid unsuitable bending		The choice of over-long length will cause unregulated bending
Apply rigid elbow fitting at the slight bending part in order to ensure the bending radium of hose.		Unsuitable bending will reduce the duration period of flexible hose.
Use rigid elbow connection with guarantee that the movement of flexible hose at two ends should be on the same line		It can reduce duration period of flexible hose moving in a state of tortuosity.
The movement direction of hose and its installation should be maintained in the same plane		Over-bending will cause damage to the hose.
Use rigid bending at the place of bending to make the hose be in the shape of lineal tubing		It can reduce duration period of flexible hose moving in a state of tortuosity.
Apply rigid elbow fitting in order to ensure the bending radium of hose when moving.		Too slight bending can cause damage to flexible hose.
Allowable minimum being radium should be ensured when installing hose.		It is forbidden that too short length of hose is chosen to avoid excessively slight bending.
Hose should be kept away from other things when moving.		Hose can be damaged when blocked by other things when moving.
The movement direction of hose and its installation should be maintained in the same plane.		It can reduce duration period under the condition of hose ends moving in different planes.
