CORRECT HOSE SPECIFICATION NEW HOSE CATALOGUE
Industrial hose, in general, is
capable of many uses. They
convey air, steam, water,
beverages, chemicals and an
almost unlimited assortment
of other products from A to
B. Sometimes transported
substances move under great
pressure and travel great
distances. Dixon Group Europe Ltd, leading
provider of hose and coupling
solutions, are pleased to launch
their new Hose Catalogue.
When industrial hose and
couplings are properly specified
for the task, these assemblies
perform their function flawlessly.
However the potential hazards
of hose assemblies are very real.

things they were never designed
to do, such as running steam
through a chemical hose or
using cam and groove couplings
for air, they fail miserably with
sometimes catastrophic results.
To avoid potential harm to
personnel, site and equipment;
and to prevent product loss,
Dixon stresses the importance
of inspecting all hose assemblies
prior to each use.

fittings and correct hose
specification are just a few of the
factors an onsite maintenance
engineer might have to address
on a day to day basis. Whether

industrial hose and hose

assemblies.
