What daily maintenance and upkeep are required for hose joints?
A series of maintenance work is required for hose joints in daily use to ensure their normal operation and extend their service life. Here are some key maintenance steps:
Cleaning and inspection: Regularly clean the hose joints to avoid the accumulation of dust, dirt, and other impurities. Check the surface of the joint for damage, cracks, or rust, and ensure that the sealing surface is intact. For new devices, it is particularly important to pay attention to and prevent abnormal damage to the twisted joints caused by insects.
Preventing scaling and rusting: When the machinery is not in use for a long time, the outside of the joint may scale or rust. When reusing, special attention should be paid to whether there is any jamming or dripping.
Check sealing: Regularly inspect the damage and thickness changes of the sealing surface, observe the friction trajectory of the sealing surface to ensure its good sealing performance.
Avoid impact: The hose joint should be handled gently to avoid impact and damage to the joint components.

Prevent abnormal external environmental influences:
Avoid exposing hose joints to high temperatures, ozone oil, and acidic or alkaline environments, as these environments may cause damage to the joint materials.
For pipelines used outdoors or in sunny and windward areas, sunshades should be installed to avoid exposure to sunlight, rain, and wind.
The surface of the joint should not be painted or wrapped with insulation materials to avoid affecting its performance and lifespan.
Installation precautions: When installing rubber joints, ensure that the screw of the bolt extends towards the outside of the joint and is repeatedly and evenly tightened using diagonal pressure to prevent pressure deviation. The threaded joint should be tightened evenly with a standard wrench to avoid damage to the joint caused by the use of force rods.
Regular replacement: Based on usage and manufacturer recommendations, regularly replace aging hose fittings to ensure their performance and safety.
Professional maintenance: For special types of hose joints or in high demand applications, it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's maintenance manual or professional recommendations for maintenance.
In summary, the daily maintenance of hose joints involves multiple aspects such as cleaning, inspection, prevention of external environmental influences, correct installation, and regular replacement. By following these steps, the normal operation of hose joints can be ensured, their service life can be extended, and potential risks caused by malfunctions can be reduced.
