A PVC hose had been connected with a cap nut coupling, for use as a pipe carrying coolant for a system used to manufacture precision parts. However, fluid began leaking from the hose connector. In addition to stopping the manufacturing system, damage caused by leaking fluid resulted in massive damage to the line (which operated 24 hours a day, 365 days a year). Urgent measures were required.

Damage avoided by preventing incidents caused by hose coupling leaks and disconnections
The customer decided to use TOYOCONNECTOR, which had been used elsewhere in the plant without any leaks or hose disconnections for three years. The customer is now considering using TOYOCONNECTOR on other pipes to prevent future leaks.
