It fits hose with a 1\/2 inch nominal size and an inner diameter of 0.875 inches. The guard slips over the hose at the fitting end and provides a gradual radius transition, reducing stress concentration that leads to premature hose failure. Plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and fluid-system installers use this type of accessory wherever hose flexes repeatedly or where routing geometry puts strain on the hose-to-fitting junction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bend restrictor is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer applications where flexible hose terminates at a fitting or valve. It is installed at the point where the hose exits a fitting or connection, acting as a strain-relief sleeve. The vinyl construction offers flexibility across a range of service conditions and resists moisture. It is a common accessory on supply lines, equipment hoses, and portable-appliance connections where repeated movement or vibration is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects hose from kinking and over-bending at connection points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal hose size: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVinyl construction  -  flexible and moisture-resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlips over hose for tool-free installation at the fitting end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style accessory for flexible hose assemblies with a 1\/2 inch nominal size and a 0.875 inch inner diameter, typical of residential and light commercial plumbing and fluid-transfer hose applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBend restrictors are installed by plumbers or fluid-system technicians as part of hose assembly work. Slide the restrictor onto the hose before attaching the end fitting, or use a split-style guard if retrofitting to an existing assembly. Depressurize and drain the system before working on any hose connection. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for hose and fitting installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Hose Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: HG-08\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67951584608562,"sku":"HG-08","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f3de9e1453930be36fd731ff2620599f.jpg?v=1791730462","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-hg-08-hose-guard-bend-restrictor","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
