Degree of wear to CEJN High-Pressure Nipples:
Due to external and internal influences the hose set is subject to wear/aging. Aside
from regular wear caused by time and usage, hoses can be squeezed in hatches or
damaged when tools are carried in the hose. Regular inspection and maintenance
ensure safe operation of high-pressure hose sets throughout the lifetime of the
hose. Inspection and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified person.
