Proper Hose Usage and Safety

Hose assemblies and hose accessories can be potentially harmful in any application if not used or maintained properly. Here are some tips for the safe use of your hose assembly:

SIZE up your environment. Make sure your hose assembly is situated in a safe, secure environment that is free from potentially hazardous or destructive elements.

ACT responsibly. Use your hose for what it was intended, in the way it was intended. Monitor closely the condition of your hose and hose fittings and repair or replace them when needed.

FACTOR in quality and service. Seek out quality hose, hose accessories, and service. Realize that quality of materials and production vary in hose and hose accessories. Research and pinpoint your quality needs to fit a desired application and select the product best suited.

EDUCATE employees and anyone who may be affected by the use, installation and/or assembly of a hose regarding the proper techniques for hose usage and care.

TALK to an EVCO product safety and care representative about any issues or concern regarding the proper use or maintenance of your hose assembly by dialing 1-800-234-HOSE.

YOU! Remember that only you can prevent injury when assembling, handling or maintaining a hose assembly.
