Air Hose
Every hydraulic, pneumatic and lubrication system
requires some form of tube line fabrication and fitting
installation for completion. Proper fabrication and
installation are essential for the overall efficiency, leak
free performance, and general appearance of any
system.
Start by planning ahead. After sizing the tube lines
and selecting the appropriate style of fitting, consider
the following in the design of your system:
•
Accessibility of joints
•
Proper routing of lines
•
Adequate tube line supports
•
Available fabricating tools
Routing of Lines
Routing of lines is probably the most difficult, yet
most significant, of these system design consider-
ations. Proper routing involves getting a connecting
line from one point to another through the most
logical path.
Always try to leave fitting joints as accessible as
possible. Hard to reach joints are hard to assemble
and tighten properly. Inaccessible joints are also
more difficult and time consuming to service.
