Inactive or unused hoses and pipelines should be properly drained and cleaned to prevent contamination and the buildup of hazardous materials. They should be sealed or capped to protect against environmental damage and pests. Additionally, regular inspections should be scheduled to assess their condition and ensure safety, while proper documentation should be maintained to track their status. If they are no longer needed, decommissioning and safe disposal may be necessary.
Inactive or unused hoses and pipelines should be properly drained and cleaned to prevent contamination and buildup of harmful substances. They should be sealed or capped to prevent the entry of debris and pests. Additionally, periodic inspections should be conducted to ensure their integrity and to address any potential issues that may arise during their inactivity. If feasible, consider removing them altogether to reduce maintenance and safety concerns.
Radiator hoses and heater hoses should be inspected yearly and replaced when neccessary.
Long hoses between the unit and the recovery machine should be avoided as they can lead to increased pressure drop and reduced efficiency in the recovery process. The longer the hose, the more potential there is for leaks and loss of refrigerant, which can compromise system performance. Additionally, extended hoses may cause delays in the recovery time, making the process less effective overall. Keeping hoses as short and direct as possible helps to optimize recovery efficiency and maintain system integrity.

Deck fire hoses should be stowed in a manner that allows for quick and easy access during emergencies. They should be coiled neatly and secured with straps or hooks to prevent tangling and ensure they remain free from obstructions. Additionally, hoses should be stored in designated and clearly marked locations, away from potential hazards, and protected from exposure to the elements to maintain their integrity. Regular inspections should be conducted to ensure the hoses are in good condition and ready for use.
No, Drano should not be used in rubber hoses as it can cause damage to the hose material. It is designed to break down clogs in drains, not suitable for use in rubber hoses.
There is no strict rules about that. You need to inspect hoses periodically. But when you have a car which is 10 years old you might need to change all vacuum hoses around the engine.
If it is anything like my 93, your heater hoses run from the heatercore through your firewall. Mine is located in the center most are located on the passenger side. Pop your hood look at your firewall you should see two hoses relatively close together coming out of it, those should be your heater hoses, and they are a pain. I'm trying to get them on the new heater core now...

This is a great habit to use if you leave the building/home for extended periods of time. You won't have to worry about remembering to turn it on again because the washer won't fill up. Hint: replace your hoses regularly, if they are brittle or looked cracked, change them.
the hoses leading to and from your radiator might be clogged. If you had a rusty radiator, the rust may have clogged the hoses that carry the coolant. you should check all your hoses and even flush them out.
