You can use steam hose assemblies in many industrial applications. You can either pre-assemble them or customize them to your specific needs. Pre-built steam hose assemblies include Black Flexsteel 250 PSI hose, industry-standard Ground Joint fittings, and SS Collars.
Proper assembly is essential for safe operation and long-term performance. Proper installation of steam hoses will reduce risks to the environment, employees, business, and the community. When choosing a steam hose assembly, remember to choose a manufacturer that has experience in these applications. To make the best decision, it is worth calling the manufacturer’s outside sales department. They can provide recommendations that will ensure a safe working environment.
Their durability is why steam hoses are so highly valued. They can withstand pressures and temperatures of up to 450degF. A loose coupling on a steam hose can lead to a blowout, which can lead to serious injury. This is why crimping is an important part of steam hose assemblies. Crimping couplings eliminate the need for re-tightening clamps and form a tight crimp that will withstand pressure changes. In addition, crimping reduces the chance of snagging or leaking.
It is important to inspect steam hoses regularly before they are used. Make sure the hose is clean and free from rust. Also, make sure that the fittings are correctly installed. Also inspect the hose for cracks or breaks and any other damage.
