    BEST PRACTICES FOR HOSE ASSEMBLY NAHAD Handbook, Section 5.6.11 (reprint) 5.6.11 Clamp, Preformed General Uses: Versatile and commonly used to secure hose to many types of fittings, including short, medium and long shank fittings, as well as cam and groove fittings. Can be used with a hand tool in the field, or on site with a hand or automatic production hose clamping machine.
  • Page 21 BEST PRACTICES FOR HOSE ASSEMBLY NAHAD Handbook, Section 5.7.1 (reprint) 5.7.1. Hydrostatic Proof Pressure Tests A proof test is typically conducted for 5 minutes under pressure at twice the working pressure for a new hose assembly, and one and a half times the working pressure for used assemblies. For assembly testing, the rating of the component with the lowest rated working pressure determines the working pressure of the assembly.
  • Page 22 BEST PRACTICES FOR HOSE ASSEMBLY CLAMP PLACEMENT Never use clamps that are assembled improperly. Remove and replace the clamp. CLAMP ORIENTATION It is recommended that adjacent clamps be installed with the seals opposed to each other at 180 Never assemble clamps with the seals oriented in the same direction.

Using a 2.5mm hex wrench turn the adjustment screw which can be accessed through the top of the tool as shown.
  • Page 37 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES - CYCLE COUNTER Use the following procedure to access the cycle count of the tool. This is the total number of times the tool has been operated and can aid in diagnosing problems or service schedules. The tool counts from 0 to 999,999. The counter displays the number of tool cycles by flashing the Operation Button LED with an approximate 2 second delay between digits (LED does not illuminate).
