When selecting a hose, always supply this information – known as "STAMPED" – to your Applied Industrial Technologies account manager. It's a quick and efficient way to be sure you get the right hose, right away, every time.
| Size | Hose ID & Length? |
| Temperature | Environment & Product Temperature? |
| Application | How is the hose being used? |
| Material | What is going through the hose? |
| Pressure | PSI or Suction? |
| Ends | What fittings do you need? |
| Delivery | How soon do you need the hose? |
