Drop Hose Coupling Procedure
With Insta-Lock
™
Fittings
To make an electrically continuous (EC) assembly, the static wire must be terminated to the couplings as
the static dissipating property of the tube alone is not sufficient to meet NAHAD
1
or RMA
2
specifications.
Infinity
™
Locate and pull on the static wire between the fabric plies, bend approximately one inch of the static wire
under the tube to make contact with the coupling stem. Grounding staple is also an acceptable method.
Paladin
®
Locate the static wire between the fabric plies. Insert one leg of a grounding staple in the middle of the
wire. Ensure that the other leg of the grounding staple is in contact with the coupling stem.
Attachment Options
Crimp Sleeve–Refer to the Continental ContiTech Products Crimp Assembly Manual for crimp
specifications. Current Crimp Sleeve options are listed on page 276 of this catalog. The use of PVC
banding coil is not required with crimp sleeve.
Band Clamps
–
PVC banding coils are required when using this method of attachment. Order the
appropriate banding coil to match your hose selection. Follow the procedures below when using the
banding coils:
1.
Insert stem inside hose end.
2.
Apply sufficient banding coil in between the hose outer PVC helix to insure complete coverage under
the band clamps position.
3.
Place the banding coil tightly around the hose to properly fill the cover depressions. Clamp the first
band, re-tighten the banding coil and clamp the second band.
4.
Please refer to the NAHAD guidelines for detailed instructions.
Banding coil selection
›
For 2’’ I.D. hose use 2’’ I.D. banding coil.
›
For 3’’ I.D. hose use 3’’ I.D. banding coil.
›
For 4’’ I.D. hose use 4’’ I.D. banding coil.
