- 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
- Worn-out hose couplings can be dangerous
- They should be checked regularly and replace when necessary
- Each coupling user should review applications and add safety devices where indicated
