Hoses
Hoses
Flexible hose may be one of the most under-used components in your plant. That is because many technicians and engineers don't realize how far hose technology has come. Now, with the latest advances you can use hose in many places historically limited to tubing or pipe.The principal benefit of hose is easy installation and easy replacement of adjoining components like valves.
It's just a lot easier to work with hose than with rigid tubing or hard pipe because there is no bending, welding, or fitting. As a result, you will save a lot on your labor costs.
But hoses do fail for a number of different reasons. For example, they can be improperly routed, or the hose type may not correctly match the application.
So its important that you get the exact hose you need, with the quality and testing you need along with the advice you need from a global company.
