Watch out for:
•
Hose ends that bulge from chemical
deterioration
•
Clamps that have moved
•
Clamps that collapse hoses
Sunlight can cause
dry rot of rubber or
cracking of plastic.
•
Clamps that are loose, rusted, or broken
•
Clamps with worn housings, screws, or bands
•
Fittings with undue strain, that have seepage
around them, or that are chafed or abraded
