Hose Handling & Storage
Hose life can be affected by storage conditions so it is important to ensure to maintain the best possible conditions
to ensure hose longevity. If the hoses are in a coil shape, the coils should be stored horizontally, not vertically. If possible, the hoses should be stored in their original package. If the hoses are stored in boxes, wood or cardboard must be used. Suitable storing temperature is 10-20°C. Care must be taken to prevent storing above 38°C. Below 0°C, hoses become stiff, therefore they should be allowed to reach normal ambient temperature before use. They should also not be stored in high or low moister ratio places.
