Specifying the best hose for an application, and even ensuring it is properly installed provides no guarantee of long avoiding trouble. Many hose assemblies fail prematurely because the the appropriate end fitting (coupling) was not used. The result can be fluid leakage, or — worse yet — the hose coming loose from the coupling.
Appropriate selection methods for choosing the safest and most effective couplings are rarely discussed. So this seminar will shed light on avoiding leaks, premature failures, and worker safety issues by understanding how to select the best coupling for your hose assembly.
This webinar covers:
- How materials and application impact coupling selection
- The importance of choosing the appropriate attachments, coupling construction, size and thread
- Considerations in regards to ease of handling, quality, and more.
The webinar is interactive, so if you have questions during the transmission at any time, you can submit them for discussion during the webcast.
