Date product is required (i.e. Friday, June 16, 2014). Once the information in the acronym “STAMPED” referenced above is obtained, it is essential that a hose and coupling combination meet all of the “STAMPED” requirements as recommended by the manufacturer of the various products incorporated within the hose assembly. “Always use the printed information to insure the accuracy of any recommendation.”
Do not exceed the printed, recommended service criteria.
All hose and hose assemblies have a finite life. Proper care, inspection and testing will prolong the service life and reduce the incidence of failures in service. Service life of hoses cannot be predicted because service conditions vary.
