Safety in functioning of our flexible hoses dipends on the correct way of installation. The following rules apply:

Before the installation
- Verify the suitability of the technical characteristics of the flexible hose for the required application
- Ensure that both fittings at the ends of the flexible hose are blocked correctly

During the installation
- The flexible part of the hose must not be installed in twisted or tensive position
- The flesible hose must not be bended beyond the permitted bend radius
- The flexible hose must not be bended in proximity of the fittings: a minimum distance (external diameter of the hose x 1,5) must be respected.
- The flexible part of the hose must not be embedded in a wall.
- Zincated hoes must not be covered with insulating material.
- The flexible hose must be installed free of contact with machines etc.

EXAMPLES
OF WRONG INSTALLATION

EXAMPLES
OF CORRECT INSTALLATION
   

DO RESPECT THE DIMENSIONS AND BEND RADIUS, BASED ON SCHEDULE




THE LENGTH OF THE HOSE MUST BE SUFFICIENT IN ORDER TO AVOID TENSION OR ANOMALOUS POSITIONS CAUSING PRESSURE EXPANSION.


LONGITUDINAL TORSION OF THE HOSES

DON'T FIX THE HOSE ON TENSION
