Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a hose last?

The most common question; what is the lifespan of a hose?

It depends on the material of the hose, what you’re using the hose for, temperatures, pressures, how you handle it, if it’s taken care of properly, friction from the workload, and even static use. Hoses can last 10+ years if it’s under a low workload and handled correctly. Some companies will replace their hose assemblies every 2 years, while others will keep going until it fails on them. We highly recommend customers to check up on their hoses once a year. Our goal is to provide safety, longevity and performance.
