Installation
Figure 9 — (Incorrect Horizontal Hose Installation)
Incorrect horizontal hose installation shows an incorrect hose installation.
Elbows are not installed. This causes the top of the hose to be in tension,
which stretches the hose out of the coupling; and the bottom of the hose to
be in compression, which causes it to crimp. It also causes the hose to crimp
at the ground.
The following figures illustrate the correct and incorrect methods for installing
hose in a vertical hookup application.
Figure 10— Correct Vertical Hose Installation
Correct vertical hose installation shows a correct vertical hose installation. In
this configuration, the hose is installed with an elevation less than 7 feet off
the ground. A 45° elbow is installed to reduce the stress in the hose coupling
connection. This elbow also directs the hose to the ground at an appropriate
angle to minimize the crimping of the hose at the ground or supporting
surface.
