European standard EN ISO 3457 states that hydraulic hoses must be protected in following cases: -operating pressure exceeds 5 MPa (=50 bar) -OR temperature exceeds 60 °C -AND the hoses are in common operating place within 1 meter range from the operator and in case of hose breakage the direct fluid spray may reach the operator In addition, the protectors must be strong enough to stop, spread or turn the fluid from directly hitting the operator once the hose breaks. Standards EN 12999 and EN 4413 also contain protection demands for hose assemblies. Our Safe-Sleeve fulfils these demands! Available Colors Standard color is plain black, no printing. Other colors also possible (MOQ 3 000 m per size). Available Sizes and Lengths It is recommended to choose a size which is a few millimetres larger than the hose to improve protection and make mounting easier. Whether there is a coupling already installed also affects the eligible size.
