In a flowing hose, the maximum flow refers to the flow in the hose prior to clamping. The maximum

pressure refers to the pressure in the hose before or immediately after closing the clamp.

In a non-flowing hose, the maximum pressure refers to either the pressure that will develop when

charging a clamped, empty hose, or the static pressure in a charged hose prior to applying the clamp.

InStAllIng tHe ClAmp

Whenever possible, install the clamp within 1 to 2 feet

upstream of a coupling. When installing the clamp on a

flowing hose, stand on the upstream (pressure) side of the

clamp. Woven hoses will often stretch away from the source

when the flow is stopped. Therefore, it is important to put

one foot on the upstream footplate at the rear of the clamp

while closing the jaws. Place the other foot well back of the

unit for maximum body stability (see sketches; foot

positions A/B and E/F).

Center the hose in the jaws of the clamp. Use both hands

to firmly grasp the handle. Bring the handle down to the

closed and latched position in one rapid, smooth motion.

The closure should not be done too quickly or too slowly.

Under most conditions, the closure time should be about 1

to 2 seconds. do not let go of the handle

until the locking latch is full engaged.

Proper engagement of the latch can be checked by pulling up slightly on the handle.
