Installation
Flexible Hose and Hard Pipe Installation
General
Use the procedure described below to ensure the proper installation of
flexible hose provided as part of a ChillerSource rental. It is critical that this
procedure is followed to minimize premature or catastrophic failure of this
hose.
CAUTION
Hose Damage!
Hose must never be pressurized over 150 psi. If higher pressures are
required, "hard" suction pipe must be utilized. Failure to do so may lead
to hose damage.
CAUTION
Hose Damage!
Hose must always be used in pressurized application. If a negative
pressure application is required, "hard" suction pipe must be utilized.
Failure to do so may lead to hose collapse and total system failure.
Flexible Hose Guidelines
WARNING
Hose Failure
Failure to comply with installation instructions that follow may result in
death or serious injury or equipment damage.
• Do not support the hose ONLY by its couplings; support over half of
the hose's length by ground or other supporting surface otherwise
coupling clamps may fail.
• Do not run hose vertically more than 7 feet otherwise coupling clamps
may fail.
• Do not cut hose to "custom" fit pieces-this will affect the integrity of
the hose.
• Bleed all air from the system prior to pressurizing hose to avoid cou-
plings separating from the hose.
• Install elbows for a smooth hose transition on all vertical hose installa-
tions, see Figure 10 (Correct Vertical Hose Installation)
• Never pressurize hose above 150 psi.
