IMPORTANT: When clamping a hose end, remember that a tighter clamp keeps the fitting more secure, but excess tension could damage the hose. Fitting stem must have prominent barbs for proper retention inside the hose, but must not be sharp to prevent cutting into the hose. Hose, fitting and clamp must be compatible with each other and the working environment used in. If in doubt, consult the hose or fitting manufacturer or call BAND-IT. Clamping objects other than hose requires similar precautions.
CAUTION: Improperly tightened clamps may result in dangerous hose assemblies, which could cause injuries or property damage.
CAUTION: Abuse or use of a hose outside the manufacturers recommended conditions may cause it to quickly deteriorate and become a safety hazard. This could result in serious injury or property damage. Inspect and test hose assemblies frequently. Repair or replace at the slightest sign of damage or deterioration. | For most consistent clamp application, use BAND-IT Tension Limiter together with BAND-IT Tool C001 or C002 Jr. Tool, or use one of BAND-IT's efficient air tools (S100, S350, S750) or the UL5000 Ultra-Lok Electric Tool.
