Safety info Safety Information General Safety Information Pressure Ratings Pressure ratings for couplings, as stated in this catalog, are based upon ambient temperature (70�F) applications with true hose I.D., new Dixon supplied couplings, new Dixon supplied clamps, new quality hose, and proper installation by a qualified assembler using Dixon procedures and equipment. In addition, temperature can affect coupling retention. For temperatures other than ambient (70�F), contact the hose manufacturer or call Dixon. Product Selection Many of the products in this catalog are used in hose assemblies in a variety of applications. The safety of any hose assembly rests on the proper selection, installation, testing and use of each product. The safe use of any product in this catalog is dependent upon the correct selection of the hose, fittings and method of attachment. To ensure such a proper selection, the user must inform the distributor of the application and pressure involved when ordering hose assemblies. The use of S.T.A.M.P.E.D. (Size, Temperature, Application, Media, Pressure, Ends, Dixon) will help in the proper selection of hose assembly components (see page 4). The selection of couplings and clamping devices is the responsibility of the purchaser or user, based upon the hose manufacturer's recommendations. If the purchaser or user is uncertain about the use or application of a product, Dixon stands ready to provide information, including test results (if available), coupling and clamping recommendations and other data to help resolve those matters. Installation To achieve a safe and reliable assembly, proper installation procedures must be followed. Each component of the assembly has a part in determining these procedures. The purchaser or user must follow proper procedures. If the purchaser or user has any questions regarding installation, please contact Dixon. Testing Dixon recommends that all hose assemblies be tested in accordance with the hose manufacturer's recommendations. Re-testing and inspection Dixon recommends inspection and re-testing of hose assemblies on a regular and consistent basis in accordance with the hose manufacturer's recommendations. The application determines the regularity of the inspection and re- testing schedule. Any worn-out fittings, damaged hoses or missing safety devices should be replaced immediately. Bolt-style clamps must be checked and retightened on a regular and consistent basis. Hose and Hose Coupling Safety Proper selection, care, use and maintenance of hose couplings and accessory Items All hose assemblies should be viewed as potential hazards. This document is designed to inform and educate anyone who manufactures, specifies, supplies, purchases, assembles, uses, maintains or tests any hose assembly or its component parts. The proper selection and maintenance of hose, couplings, attachment devices and accesso- ries is imperative. It is the end user's responsibility to identify to the distributor the application and any special conditions that the hose assembly must meet. It is the distributor's responsibility to supply the proper assembly for the intended application. Accidents and down time may occur if hose assemblies are not properly selected for the specific application. The performance and safety of the assembly is affected by the quality of the individual components. The use of the acronym S.T.A.M.P.E.D. (Size, Temperature, Application, Media, Pressure, Ends, Dixon) will help in the proper selection of the hose assembly components (see page 4). Warning! Failure to use these procedures can result in serious injury or death, and destruction of property and equipment. If anyone is uncertain about the use or application of a product, Dixon can provide test results, coupling and clamping recommendations and other data to help resolve those matters.
