We all know that a properly assembled hose goes a long way in extending the life of the hose and preventing accidents that harm the environment or cause risk or injury. The Association for Hose and Accessories Distribution (NAHAD) has become the go-to-organization for hose assembly fabrication, best practices and guidelines. NAHAD’s Hose Safety Institute (HSI) is focused on building consensus between hose manufacturers and distributors and educating its members on top-tier hose assembly specifications, design, fabrication, handling, and management.
