Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Confirm hose internal diameter, construction, petroleum compatibility, working pressure, temperature range, and electrical continuity requirements. Install using the manufacturer's specified clamps, ferrules, gaskets, and tightening procedure. Pressure-test the completed assembly before service. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect regularly for leakage, cracking, abrasion, corrosion, loose clamps, and hose movement. Check coupling tightness and bonding continuity where required. Remove from service if the hose or mender exceeds its rated condition or shows damage. |
| Safety Notes | Depressurize, drain, and gas-free the hose before installation or repair. Use only components rated for the petroleum product and operating pressure. Prevent ignition sources and static discharge, use suitable PPE, and never use an unapproved mender as a substitute for a damaged pressure hose assembly. |
