Rubber hose is used to transport fluids and gases and is built to withstand pressure but is not ideal for high-pressure applications. Hydraulic hose is specifically designed for hydraulic systems and can withstand higher pressures and temperatures.

The size of the rubber hose you need will depend on the application. Consider the flow rate, pressure, and temperature of your system when determining the appropriate hose size.

Rubber hose accessories are typically connected using clamps or fittings. Ensure that the connection is secure and follows the manufacturer's instructions.

First, check for leaks, blockages, or damage to the hose or fittings. Inspect the system components, including the pump, filters, and valves, for any issues that may affect hose performance.
