Danfoss Aeroquip Hose and Fitting Assembly Product Warning
Flexible hose lines offer many advantages over
rigid tubing including routing ease, vibration
absorption, sound deafening and the ability to
accommodate movement of connected components. However, hose lines require caution in
use not only to provide long service, but also to
guard against potentially dangerous failure.
Important
The user should carefully observe the precautions listed in this catalog, including the recommendations on the selection of hose and fittings
on the relevant pages, and the pages on fluid
compatibility. In addition, care should be taken
not to exceed the minimum bend radius listed
for each hose size and type in the hose section.
Maximum operating pressure should not exceed
pressures listed in the hose data. Instructions for
assembling fittings to different hose should be
followed carefully to ensure the performance of
the completed assembly.
Hose Installation
Proper installation of the hose is essential to
the proper operation and safe use of the hose
and related equipment. Improper installation of
the hose can result in serious injury or property
damage caused by spraying fluids or flying
projectiles. In order to avoid serious bodily injury
or property damage resulting from improper
installation of the hose, you should carefully
review the information in this catalog regarding
hose installation.
Some of the factors you must consider in installing the hose properly are:
• Changes in length
• Proper bend radius
WARNING
• Protection from high temperature sources
Danfoss fitting tolerances are engineered to
match Danfoss’ hose tolerances. The use of
Danfoss fittings on hose supplied by other
manufacturers and/or the use of Danfoss’ hose
with fittings supplied by other manufactures
may result in the production of unreliable and
unsafe hose assemblies and is neither recommended nor authorized by Danfoss or any of its
affiliates or subsidiaries.
WARNING
Application considerations must be observed
in selecting appropriate components for the
application of these products contained herein.
The failure to follow the recommendations set
forth in this catalog may result in an unstable

hose line routing and installation as provided
herein, improved safety and longer service life of
any hose installation will result.
• Elbows and adapters to relieve strain
• Rubbing or abrasion
• Twisting
• Improper hose movement
These factors and the other information in this
catalog regarding hose installation should be
considered by you before installing the hose. If

Hose Maintenance
Proper maintenance of the hose is essential to
the safe use of the hose and related equipment.
Hose should be stored in a dry place. Hose
should also be visually inspected. Any hose that
has a cut or gouge in the cover that exposes the
reinforcement should be retired from service.
Hoses should also be inspected for kinking or
broken reinforcement. If the outside diameter of
the hose is reduced by 20% at the spot where
it is bent then the hose should be retired from
service. Inadequate attention to maintenance
of the hose can result in hose leakage, bursting,
or other failure which can cause serious bodily
injury or property damage from spraying fluids,
flying projectiles, or other substances.
