Rubber tube maintenance precautions

The rubber tube in our life is called the commonly used rubber and plastic products. After the rubber tube is officially installed, it is necessary to do a good job of protection. Otherwise, improper use will seriously damage the normal operation of the rubber tube and greatly shorten the service life of the rubber tube. Here are some tips for rubber tube maintenance.

1. Hose layout should avoid heat source and keep away from the performance of the engine exhaust pipe. If necessary, a device such as a casing or a protective screen may be used to prevent the hose from being deteriorated by heat.

2. Where the hose must be crossed or where it may rub against the mechanical surface, use a hose clamp or spring to protect the outer layer of the hose from damage.

3. When the hose must be bent, the bending radius should not be too small and should be greater than 9 times the outer diameter. The hose and joint shall have a straight section that is more than twice the outer diameter of the pipe.

4. When installing the hose, avoid the tension. Even if there is no relative movement at both ends of the hose, keep the hose slack. The tensioned hose will expand under pressure and the strength will decrease.

5. Do not twist the hose during installation. A slight twist of the hose may reduce the strength and loosen the joint. The fitting should be tightened onto the hose instead of tightening the hose to the fitting.

6. If the hose is placed on a critical component, it is recommended to check it regularly or replace it.

Any improper operation will directly affect the normal application of the rubber tube. Therefore, I hope that everyone can pay attention to their work, thus effectively extending the service life of the rubber tube.
