When it’s turnaround season, every second counts. Petrochemical plants rely on hundreds of utility hoses—air, water, and nitrogen lines—moving fast across multiple crews and contractors. The challenge? Keeping performance high while minimizing risk, downtime, and confusion. That’s where R/W Connection comes in: we deliver the right hose, tested, tagged, and ready when you are.
Why Utility Hoses Matter During Turnarounds
Turnarounds create demanding conditions for hose performance. With multiple utilities running simultaneously and frequent connection changes, the potential for issues grows fast:
- Crews constantly connecting and relocating hoses across tight spaces
- High exposure to movement, abrasion, and weather
- Coupling mismatches and incorrect hose selections
- Downtime caused by shortages or untested assemblies
- Safety hazards when nitrogen hoses corrode or fail
When uptime and safety are on the line, your hose program can’t afford weak links.

FAQs
Q: What pressure rating is standard for utility hoses in turnarounds?
A: 300 PSI EPDM hoses are the industry standard for water, air, and nitrogen service—fully pressure-tested and tagged for compliance.
Q: Why use color-coded hoses?
A: Color coding minimizes connection errors and improves safety, especially across multi-crew, high-activity work zones.
Q: What coupling materials are best for nitrogen hoses?
A: Brass, stainless steel, or plated couplings prevent corrosion and ensure long service life under nitrogen use.
Q: How does tagging improve safety and compliance?
A: Serialized tags maintain full traceability—linking each hose to its testing, inspection, and service history.
