Step 2: Measure For Hose
Double check your measurements. Measure twice, cut once.
Start with the -10 supply line from the reservoir to the pump.
Keep this as straight as possible as this hose is under severe vacuum. Sharp bends are
not recommended and may allow the hose to collapse. If a bend is required keep the
radius open.
Supply line length
• Next measure the length needed from the pressure side of the pump to the rack/box.
• Again, tight bends in the hose are not recommended.
Pressure line length
• Finish by measuring the return line length from the rack/box back to the reservoir.
Return line length
Step 3: Cutting The Hose
Start by tightly wrapping electrical/vinyl tape around the hose in the area to be cut.
Place hose in a vise without crushing it. Cut hose square to length with a fine tooth hack
saw or cut off wheel ( Important! Make sure that your cut is square!).
Remove hose from vise and remove tape slowly. Deburr the inner Teflon hose and trim
away any stray stainless braid.
Blow out the inside of the hose to clear any debris. Debris that is left in the line may
cause substantial damage.
Finish by cutting the pressure and return lines the same way.
