6. Vibration and Flexing
In applications where there is considerable
vibration or flexing, allow additional hose
length.
The metal hose fittings, of course, are not
flexible, and proper installation protects metal
parts from undue stress, and avoids kinks in
the hose
.
7. Appearance
Routing for good appearance often means
better functioning and easier inspection and
maintenance. It also often results in the use
of less hose and fewer connections
1. Route hoses in straight lines or along
machine contour.
2. Route hose lines together and in parallel
to reduce abrasion.
3. Use brackets and clamps to keep hoses
in place.
4. Use hose assemblies of proper length.
5. Use elbow adaptors and fittings for more
direct routing
8. Use of Adaptors
Adaptors have many purposes when
installing hose assemblies. These include
joining hoses to a component, connecting
two or more hoses together and changing
the size or thread of a connection.
They come in many configurations and
when used effectively, can help tidy up an
assembly, increase accessibility, reduce
bends and general extend the hose life.
