What movement should remain possible?
A movable hose guide needs clearance, while a rigid pipe needs support without being crushed. Covers and fleece must be secured against wind while remaining accessible for maintenance. Establish whether the fixing needs to support, guide, tension, prevent lifting or seal a connection. A hose clamp on a hose tail serves a different purpose from a wall or ground support.
| Task | What to measure | What to consider when choosing |
|---|---|---|
| Guide a hose or pipe | External diameter and route | Do not constrict the component; allow for bend radius and movement |
| Secure a hose or pipe to a surface | Supporting surface, distance from edges and fixing points | The mounting method must be approved for soil, wood, masonry or the relevant material |
| Secure fleece or fabric | Area, overlap and edges exposed to wind | Allow sufficient material at the edges and access points that are easy to open for maintenance |
| Secure a hose to a hose tail | External diameter when fitted and permitted clamping range | Use a suitable hose clamp and attachment method as specified |
Determine spacing from the hose or pipe route
Mark changes of direction, valves and fittings, and transitions first. Weight, operation or pulling create particular loads at these points. Between them, spacing depends on the stiffness, weight, thermal movement and installation instructions of the component being supported. There is therefore no universal fixing spacing for all hoses and pipes.
Installation checklist
- Check the supporting surface for concealed services and sufficient load-bearing capacity
- Choose materials and fixings suitable for outdoor use
- Route hoses and pipes without kinks, abrasion points or unnecessary tension
- Keep valves, filters, couplings and drain points accessible
- After first use, check whether components have settled or shifted
