Hose Menders
Hose Barbs and Universal Fittings
- Combination nipples and hose menders are recommended for low-pressure discharge and suction service for compatible liquids. They are not for compressible products such as air or nitrogen on sizes 1 1/4" and above.
- Combination nipples and hose menders are not recommended for steam.
- The working pressure may vary with the construction of the hose, the type of clamping system used and the application.
- In accordance with the R.M.A. bulletin for oil suction and discharge hose, a coupled length of hose in any size, should be tested to 1 1/2" times the working pressure and held for fifteen minutes without leaking or coupling movement. For additional information and detailed instruction on testing procedures, see the Rubber Manufacturers Association (R.M.A.) handbook.
