Hose Protection - Extend The Life Of Your Hose

We are often asked how to extend the life of a hose once installed. Hoses are a consumable product and will always have to be replaced at some point, but changing your hose to regularly can be both costly and time-consuming.

In this free guide, we are going to take a quick look at the different types of hose protection available and how you can use them to your advantage.


 

Bump Rings - help to protect the end connection from being damaged if dropped but also protect the application environment from the end connection protecting expensive flooring, for example, in a pharmaceutical environment.


 

Bend Restrictors provide stress relief for hoses. The straight sleeve style prevents kinks in the hose at the connection point, saving wear caused by the stress from bending.

These are often used in applications where there is a lot of flexibility required, maybe a handheld tool, for example, where the operator is consistently moving and adjusting the hose position. Without a bend restrictor, the hose in this example will take the majority of the ‘stress’ immediately after the connection point causing weakness and eventually leading to a failure. With a bend restrictor, it will limit the amount of stress on the hose extending the lifetime and saving you money on replacements.
