AKRON Firefighting Equipment Hose Clamp Style #588 New sells for $798  The following instructions must be followed for safe and efficient use of the product. MAXIMUM PRESSURES AND FLOWS 11/2”, 13/4”, AND 2” HOSES Flowing Hose*: 150 PSI (1035 kPa)/300 GPM (1135 LPM). Non-flowing Hose**: 200 PSI (1380 kPa). 21/2” AND 3” HOSES Flowing Hose*: 100 PSI (690 kPa)/500 GPM (1390 LPM). Non-flowing Hose**: 125 PSI (860 kPa) * In a flowing hose, the maximum flow refers to the flow in the hose prior to clamping. The maximum pressure refers to the pressure in the hose before or immediately after closing the clamp. ** In a non-flowing hose, the maximum pressure refers to either the pressure that will develop when charging a clamped, empty hose, or the static pressure in a charged hose prior to applying the clamp. INSTALLING THE CLAMP Whenever possible, install the clamp within 1 to 2 feet upstream of a coupling. When installing the clamp on a flowing hose, stand on the upstream (pressure) side of the clamp. Woven hoses will often stretch away from the source when the flow is stopped. Therefore, it is important to put one foot on the upstream footplate at the rear of the clamp while closing the jaws. Place the other foot well back of the unit for maximum body stability (see sketches; foot positions A/B and E/F). Center the hose in the jaws of the clamp. Use both hands to firmly grasp the handle. Bring the handle down to the closed and latched position in one rapid, smooth motion. The closure should not be done too quickly or too slowly. Under most conditions, the closure time should be about 1 to 2 seconds. DO NOT LET GO OF THE HANDLE UNTIL THE LOCKING LATCH IS FULL ENGAGED. Proper engagement of the latch can be checked by pulling up slightly on the handle. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AKRON STYLE 588 HOSE CLAMP 101735
