Couplings and hose should be installed in the same plane as shown at left. DO NOT OFFSET COUPLINGS – this causes torsional twisting and undue strain causing premature failure.
This is the correct way to install metal hose for vertical travers. Note the single, natural loop.
Allowing a sharp bend, as shown at right, strains and twists the metal hose to a point of early failure at the coupling.
Maintain the minimum or larger bending diameter between the couplings for longest life.
Closing in the diameter at the couplings, as shown at right, creates double bends causing work fatigue failure of the fittings.
In all installations where
DO NOT CONNECT METAL HOSE HORIZONTALLY...unless
is necessary then use support on lower plane as shown at left.

Utilize elbows when necessary to avoid sharp kinks or excessive bending. For ease of movement, install with a “lazy” loop. Gas appliance must be discon- nected prior to maximum movement. (Minimum movement is permissible for hose disconnection.)
