Power Cable Attachment

The Crusader Flexibore hose has the capability for simple connection. Our unique flexible riser is secured via power cable attachment in one of two ways. The flexible pipe can be secured with either polyurethane straps or heavy duty electrical cable ties.

Polyurethane Strap Attachment

The flexible pipe can be attached to power by securing the polyurethane straps through the hose loops. Flexibore loops are implemented at 1 meter intervals to allow secure power attachment. The polyurethane strap should wrap around the power cable securely.

Crusader Hose recommends a minimum 2% allowance for extension and swell characteristics of the hose. The extra slack in the power cable attachment compensates for the stretch of the hose due to the weight of the pump.

Generally, the extension will not exceed 2% but is important to secure the power cable attachment correctly to the flexible riser. To learn more about polyurethane strap attachment ask the Flexibore specialists, ask Crusader Hose.

Heavy Duty Cable Attachment

Heavy duty cable ties are an alternative to polyurethane straps. For warranty to be valid, it is essential only approved electrical cables are attached.

Heavy duty cables must be doubled for each loop along the length of the flexible hose. To attach the ties, pull them up tightly to ensure the power cable cannot slide through. Extra power cable should be added to compensate for the flexibility in the hose.
