Bundle Individual Whip Hoses
Individual whip hoses must be bundled with scuff guards and air and signal cables. Follow the instructions below to bundle single and dual heat zone whip hose bundles.
See FIG. 21 on page 27.
1.Lay out the A and B material hoses with the male fit- tings at the same end of the bundle.
2.Lay out the air hose (3) with the male fitting at the same end as the male fittings of the material hoses.
NOTE: The female fitting of the air hose should be 6 in. (152.4 mm) beyond the female fitting of the mate- rial hoses.
3.Lay out the signal cable (4) with the female end of the signal cable at the same end as the male ends of the material hoses.
NOTE:
•The male sign cable connector (4) should be 6 in. beyond the female ends of the material hoses.
•Use electrical tape (8) to secure position of sig- nal cable 10 in. (254 mm) back from the end of the material hose.
4. Connect Electrical Connectors.
For Single Zone Heated Whip Hose Bundles:
a.Place one 6 AWG electrical connector (5) 24 in. (609.6 mm) from the male material hose fittings.
b.Connect the 6 AWG wire from each material hose to the electrical connector (5).
c.Use black electrical tape (8) to secure the con- nector to the hose bundle.
For Dual Zone Heated Whip Hose Bundles:
a.Place two 6 AWG electrical connectors (5) 24 in. (609.6 mm) from the male material hose fit- tings.
b.Unlace the 6 AWG wire from each material hose, trim back the wire, and connect to the electrical connector (5).
c.Use black electrical tape (8) to secure both con- nectors (5) to the correct material hose.
5.Apply scuff guard (10) on each individual material hose up to the electrical connector (5).
6.Use red electrical tape (12) to secure the scuff guard (10) on the red material hose.
7.Use blue electrical tape (13) to secure the scuff guard (10) on the blue material hose.
8.Use electrical tape and temporarily tape the hose and cable ends together.
9.Feed the scuff guard (4) over the male material hose fittings.
10.Use black electrical tape (8) and secure at least 3 in. (76.2 mm) of scuff guard (4) next to the electrical connector (5) on side with male material hose fit- tings.
NOTE: Ensure no foam insulation is exposed on either material hose.
11.Fold the scuff guard (4) over itself and feed the remaining scuff guard over the entire length of the bundle.
12.Leave excess scuff guard (4) loose on the end with the female material fittings.
