View Tech Talk: Hose Selection and Troubleshooting Recording

Hoses will often fail or wear prematurely if they are not well suited for an application and even properly selected hoses can fail if installed incorrectly. Hose failures are unfortunately a very common source of equipment downtime and can create significant safety risks, so it is important to treat hoses as critical equipment and handle their selection accordingly.
