What does the date printed on the gun hose mean?
RIPACK®, manufacturer of the RIPACK® Shrink Gun, certifies that the date printed on the rubber hose that connects to the gas bottle, is the year in which it was manufactured.
This is the only date required by the NF EN 559 Standard "flexible rubber hoses for welding, cutting or similar techniques", which covers our supply. There is no use-by date.
The recommendations for changing are as follows:
- If a visual examination reveals damage;
- A maximum of every three years of intensive use;
- At the very latest five years after having been put into service in all other cases.
This refers to professional and not domestic use.
