Satisfactory performance and appearance depend upon proper hose installation. Excessive length 
destroys the trim appearance of an installation and adds unnecessarily to the cost of contraction will 
cause poor power transmission and shorten the life of the hose. 

Since hose may change in length  under the surge of high pressure,  provide sufficient slack for  expansion.	Due to changes in length when  hose is pressurized, do not clamp  at bends so curves absorb changes.  Do not clamp high and low.

Avoid sharp twist or bend in hose  by using proper angle adapters.	Adequate hose length is most  important to distribute movement  on flexing applications and to avoid  abrasion.

Where the radius falls below the  required minimum, an angle  adapter should be used as shown  above to avoid sharp bends in hose.	To avoid twisting in hose lines  bent in two planes, clamp hose at  change of plane, as shown.

Obtain direct routing of hose  through use of 45° and 90° adapters  and fittings. Improve appearance  by avoiding excessive hose length.	To prevent twisting and distortion,  hose should be bent in the same  plane as the
