The hose mender allows for a user to cut off the bad section of the hose and clamp the hose back together. The hose mender is not designed for compressible products such as air, nitrogen, or steam. Working pressure may vary with the construction of the hose, the type of clamping system that is used, and the application. A coupled length of hose should be tested to 1 1/2 times the working pressure and held for fifteen minutes without leaking or coupling movement.
