Water Inlet Hose
Inspection
Periodically inspect all water inlet hoses
for water leaks, wear, cuts, corrosion and
bulges. Replace all hoses, if any sign of
the above is visible. All hoses should be
replaced every 5 years to reduce the risk
of hose failures. When replacing hoses,
refer to the Installation Instructions for
proper installation. DO NOT overtighten or
cross thread the fittings. DO NOT allow the
hose to rub against sharp objects. Always
ensure the hose fitting rubber gasket is
installed and free from water leaks when
water pressure is applied.
