Hose Assembly Routing Tips Proper hose installation is essential for satisfactory performance. If hose length is excessive, the appearance of the installation will be unsatisfactory and unnecessary cost of equipment will be involved. If hose assemblies are too short to permit adequate flexing and changes in length due to expansion or contraction, hose service life will be reduced. When radius is below the required minimum, use an angle adapter to avoid sharp bends. The following diagrams show proper hose installations which provide maximum performance and cost savings. Consider these examples in determining length of a specific assembly. Use proper angle adapters to avoid tight bend in hose. When hose installation is straight, allow enough slack in hose line to provide for length changes which will occur when pressure is applied. WRONG Prevent twisting and distortion by bending hose in same plane as the motion of the port to which hose is connected. Adequate hose length is necessary to distribute movement on flexing applications and to avoid abrasion. Route hose directly by using 45° and/or 90° adapter and fittings. Avoid excessive hose length to improve appearance. NO PRESSURE Avoid twisting of hose lines bent in two planes by clamping hose at change of plane.
