DO NOT COMPRESS
OR EXTEND AXIALLY.
Corrugated
metal hose installed in-line with the longitudinal axis of the piping
should not be subjected to axial movement.
|
|
 |
|
DO NOT TORQUE
DURING INSTALLATION.
Metal
hose assemblies should not be used to compensate for bolt hole misalignment.
Floating flanges will help to minimize twisting of the metal hose.
Pipe unions will help to reduce twisting during connection to the
piping. The use of two wrenches will help to keep the hose from
twisting when tightening the pipe union.

|
DO NOT ALLOW
HOSE MOVEMENT
IN MULTIPLE PLANES.
Flexing
a metal hose in two separate planes of movement will torque the
hose assembly. Always install the metal hose assembly so that flexing
occurs in one plane only and this is the same plane in which bending
occurs.
|
|
|
|
AVOID SHARP
BENDS.
Use
elbows to avoid severe bends near the end of the metal hose assembly.
|
|
|
|
MAINTAIN
MINIMUM
CENTERLINE BEND RADIUS.
The
minimum centerline bend radius for dynamic flexing should never
be less than the values in the product specification tables.
