Installation Guidelines
Critical installation requirements for metal hose assemblies, expansion joints, and pipe alignment hardware.
- ›Never install hose in straight-line compression or extension without loop
- ›Minimum bend radius must be observed at all times — static and dynamic
- ›First pipe guide must be immediately adjacent to expansion device
- ›Anchor at fixed points; guides direct thermal movement
- ›Flanged assemblies: verify pressure class matches on both ends
- ›Steam service: double braid required at 2" and above
Engineering Review
Non-standard configurations, high-cycle dynamic applications, chemical service, or movement requirements beyond stock ratings require direct engineering review.
