Hose & Fittings
We are committed to seeing your company through the life of your hose, from choosing the right one, to installation and maintenance. Some factors to consider when installing a hose are: Its elongation or contraction, bend radius, adaptors that can be used to relieve stress, external abrasion protection, and protection from pressure surges and twisting.
In addition, we recommend that for proper maintenance, hoses should always be stored in a dry place, undergo frequent visual inspection so that any hoses with cuts, gouges that expose the reinforcement, or broken reinforcements can be taken out of service immediately. Inadequate maintenance can result in leakage, bursting or other failures that are hazards to you and your employees. To assist you in the proper maintenance and inspection of your hoses we offer our customers the online GHX Tracker.
