After 24 hours.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When hose clamps are installed on new hoses, the elasticity of plastic hoses can decrease rapidly, making it more likely that fluid leaks and hose disconnections will occur. By retightening after 24 hours, hose piping can be performed in a manner that is less susceptible to fluid leaks and hose disconnections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the hose has settled completely, regular retightening can be performed to prevent fluid leaks and hose disconnections.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group p-single-cm__block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading c-h3-icon--plus l-heading-level-3\">Make sure to select the right hose for your application!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The main reason why hose clamps become loose is the loss of elasticity in plastic hoses. However, to prevent any problems, it is also important to select the right hose for your application so that the hose does not harden too quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When using hose clamps, make sure to select the right hose and perform regular retightening of the hose clamp to ensure hose piping is safer and more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group p-single-figure p-single-cm__block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group p-single-figure p-single-cm__block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hose-ad-pro.toyox.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/b923e6add83558360218c4ae245f7f9c-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-319\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, when performing hose piping in areas where fluid leaks and hose disconnections must be avoided at all costs, as well as in areas where maintenance is difficult, we recommend using our maintenance-free TOYOCONNECTOR hose couplings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TOYOCONNECTOR hose couplings not only standardize work processes but are also easy to connect while offering numerous benefits, such as reduced time spent on piping work and significant energy-saving effects.
