1. Provide slack or bend in the hose line to provide for changes
in length that will occur when pressure is applied

2. Observe linear stripe. The hose must not be twisted.
High pressures applied to a twisted hose may cause failure or loosen the nut.

3. Relieve sharp bends, avoid strain or hose collapse and
make cleaner installations by using elbows or other
adaptor fittings. Provide as large a bend radius as possible. Never use less
than recommended minimum bend radius specified for the hose.

4. Provide additional bend radius when lines are subject to flexing and remember
that the metal and fittings are not flexible. Place
line support clamps so as not to restrict hose flexing.
