Stripwound hose assemblies often require special accessories or components. Accessories may be used to
improve performance or to make the assembly easier to use or identify. Other accessories are available upon
request, please contact Hose Master’s Inside Sales Department for details.
Lay Line
A straight painted line can be applied to interlocked hose along its entire length.
The lay line serves to give clear warning to the user if the hose is being torqued or
twisted in service. Monitoring torsion or twisting of an assembly can significantly
increase the service life of the hose.
Smoothbore interlocked hose is uni-directional. Media flowing in the wrong
direction can easily cause damage both to the hose and to abrasion-sensitive
media, such as plastic pellets. Flow arrows are painted on all smoothbore hose to
indicate the correct flow direction. In specific high-velocity applications, the flow
direction may also become a factor in roughbore interlocked hose. Flow arrows
can be provided on roughbore hose upon request.
For elevated working pressures, or for critical safety situations, a stainless steel
braid can be installed and welded over a stripwound hose assembly. The braid
serves to prevent the hose from overextending, and protects the hose wall from
being damaged.
A variety of tags (metal, plastic, or cardboard) are readily available to record hose
identification, service information, or any customer-specific information.
Standard written certifications for materials or inspections can be supplied for
stripwound hose or assemblies. Certifications of conformance to specific customer
requirements and PMI (Positive Material Identification) are also available upon
request.
