When to replace a hydraulic hose?

When to replace a hydraulic hose is crucial for industrial hose assemblies and systems. Identify signs of extensive damage, oil leaks, corroded or cracked fittings, kinks and twists, and exposed wires. Extensive damage indicates improper care or wear, while oil leaks indicate a worn rubber. Corroded or cracked fittings should be replaced immediately. Kinks and twists indicate issues like incorrect routing or a bend radius below the manufacturer's specification. Exposed wires indicate significant wear, possibly due to environmental factors. Remove any hose with exposed wiring and replace with reliable ones.
