Application notes: where each series works, how to choose it and what extends service life.

Selection
Pressure class, inner diameter, length, oil mist and temperature: what to check when choosing an air hose for a compressor and pneumatic tools.

Selection
Which half of the coupling each Camlock type is, what is on its other end, how the types connect, and which sizes and materials are available.

Applications
Surface or submersible pump, layflat or rubber discharge line, water with sand and mud: how to put together hoses for pumping water out of pits and trenches.
Six parameters to check any series in the catalogue against.
What flows through the hose: water, air, steam, food, oil products or chemicals. The inner tube material depends on the medium.
Working pressure of the system, not the burst pressure. Both are given on the series page; in the catalogue — up to 85 bar.
Matches the nominal size of the couplings. In the catalogue — from 3 to 609 mm.
The limits of each series are on its page; in the catalogue — from −85 to +500 °C. Separate series for steam, hot water, hot air, exhaust gases and hot bitumen.
D — pressure only, SD — pressure and suction, LF — layflat hose; some series are for suction only. In most suction hoses a steel helix keeps the hose round under vacuum.
The smallest radius the hose can be bent to without kinking. Important for installation and reeling.
