• Always tighten bolts to their specified torque value
• Periodic re-tightening of bolts is required due to "cold flow" phenomenon present in all rubber hoses
• Recommended for steam service up to 450°F
• The bolts used in the boss interlocking clamps are not standard bolts
• They vary from standard bolts in their length, diameter, overall thread length and material hardness
• These bolts can be retorqued, but it is not recommended that the bolts or clamps be reused, as they are designed for a single bend only
• Torque values for clamps are based on dry bolts, the use of lubricant on bolts will adversely effect clamp performance
